Childhood friends. Uke seriously seems to misunderstand how obsessively the seme wants him. Also, shithead side character incoming Edit: Okh, swift resolution to side chara issue. but main issue pending!! Edit: Well written and stands out despite being a common enough plot. Characters were really likable and their chemistry was on point. The art was on fire; Mizuki san is hot and all, but Hiro is unbearably enticing. He's seduced even me, alongside the seme! And all without trying to. This uke is a force to be reckoned with! 5

Arima is an alpha born with a congenital womb. While a well respected supervisor (who also happens to be the boss's son) at his company, by night he works as an omega escort because he wants to be an omega and held by an alpha. A cancelled appointment and a chance meeting leads to a one night stand with lasting consequences. It's very interesting! So interested to know how the pseudo heat works. 5 Edit: In hindsight, while still good, being so rife with unnecessary misunderstandings makes this a little frustrating. 4.6

Human animal hybrid universe. An up and coming herbivorous model (clownfish and rabbit chimera) and a famous international carnivorous model (lion) meet as children and meet again after a decade. Despite misunderstandings and out of control pheromones, do they stand a chance, or will hearts be broken. 4.8 Hey. Hey! I was hoodwinked! Deceived!! It said 'completed'!! Ahhh!?!! Edit: Okay. Despite my earlier excitement, I have to admit this wasn't all it seemed to be. I had expected a well developed and interesting plot but it was pretty basic, and there were some loose ends. 4.45 The second story is about Ririsu, an ex delinquent thrned health teacher, and his childhood friend/ student, Adam. This was was even .ore pointless than the first. With allusions to Biblical events, Lilith, Adam and the serpent, that seemed pointless and childish. 4.3 Overall: 4.35

Daiki and Obata begin to date after they reunite a couple years after high school and both are very happy to learn the stereotypes they subconsciously applied to each other aren't true. I really think they're just adorable together. They're really perfect together, they definitely make each other better people and their relationship is so, so healthy. It's such a fluffy read! 5 Ch 15

Subaru pretends to be a cool prince at school, in hopes of living out his ideal shoujo manga love story. But when Jinnai, his old friend, shows up, he finds himself reverting back to his old shoujo manga otaku self around his trusted friend who prefers him both as is, and doesn't want to share his cute sides with others. Clearly, friendship isn't the only thing going on there. Overall, it was enjoyable, but Jinnai keeping people away from Ikkun during middle school just so he could monopolize him sucks a lot. It just left a bad taste for me. I will say, though, I'm really glad Ikkun got good friends during high school. 4.4

Rare are multiple story yaois done this *right*. What an absolute treat. 1: Shouta is a bit of a loner who longs to be in a relationship. One day, he picks up a handsome foreigner, Joshua, who looked weak and troubled, only to realise much later on that Josh is actually a famous American movie star. I really liked them? They were sweet and cute, if rushed. And they're good for each other. 4.6 3: Teppei is the cutest thing, who fell in love with Kazuki, a notorious delinquent at hold school. Kazuki disappears, leaving Teppei heartbroken, only to come back as a trained baker, to work in Teppei's family's bakery. Ohhh. They're so cute, so cute. I loved this one. Ahh. They're so darn adorable. 5 5: Azuma and Nishio just look like boss a d subordinate to the members of their small team, but in reality they've been together for years. Azuma is such an unexpected yet sweet uke. Very cute, overall. 4.7 Overall, enjoyed it a lot.

Nakano and Tsuda lose contact after their high school friendship-turned-into-something-more, ends in disaster and misunderstanding. When they meet again due to a collaboration their workplaces were doing, old memories are dug right up and passions fly high! It's not that it was bad, but they wasted So. Much. Time. misunderstanding each other. It's just, sad. 4.5 Saeki and Ueda san's kid. Saeki is beyond surprised when a coworker's child suddenly confesses to him. I don't know, he's kinda young and Saeki is kinda wishy-washy. Hope it goes well. 4

Natori runs into his high school classmate, Seo who is now a famous gay porn star. Falling into a friends with benefits situation, they find their feelings for each other growing more, each day. It's kinda standard, but so cute, and you just. Want to root for them? 4.5

Ahh. Reencounter for Taku with Mitsuru, an old childhood friend who has changed dramatically since they last parted ways (not on the best of terms). Ahh. Poor Mitsuru. They're good together. It's good he has someone now. Taku is such a sweety and his parents are so great too. 4.6

A sub returns to his small town and falls into a relationship with an old friend from high-school, who is a dom. He insists that praise and care (and kissing!) are his hard limits but his worried dom finally realises that was not the case. I would say interesting take on the dom/sub verse, but I've already read it in fanfiction. It's still good, though, and would like to see how the relationship develops. Edit: I think I understand Sumio's trauma a lot better now. His parents really neglected his needs, huh. And so he learnt to supress any need for kindness and consideration, whether it be as a sub or otherwise. I wonder if that's why he presented so late. I think Itsumo is great for him, but that's neither here nor there. Itsumo would be a great partner for anyone who should be so lucky. I really appreciate that this story touches on the fact that doms have needs too. And finally, while I really do want to to dislike the meddling side couple, I do think their criticism of Sumio for going into the brothel is very valid. Still, overall, a really solid read. I adore how openly, sickeningly affectionate they are now. 4.75/5
