Mr. Mariya and Shinigami
Welp. I don't get where the chemistry is coming from at all. It wasn't even a great plot. But it was an okay read and somehow, incredibly hot 4.2
Amanojaku ni Koishite!
A collection of stories that are silly, fluffy, smutty and mindlessly fun. 1: An amanojaku yokai who has always been isolated and alone due to his yokai nature of being unable to speak the truth, finds himself being protected and cherished by a karasutengu yokai who has never had a problem reading amanojaku yokai's true feelings. Smut, but cute smut. We stan cute smut in this house. 4.7 3: Retelling of Momotarou, the folklore story. Momotarou goes on a wild rampage to defeat all the devils in Devil Island and his troubled companions hurry him back home with the riches to prevent for carnage. Most of them go their own ways but the dog remains by his side, because he has ulterior motives. Kinda meh, ngl. Also, the fact that he drugged him without knowing Momo's feelings, bruh. 3 4: Inoue is in love with his cute coworker Minami, but he keeps getting thwarted by the licentious Section Chief, Tagami. Seems, though, that Minami doesn't seem to mind the intrusion, or Inoue's reactions to Tagami at all. Inoue finds himself in the middle of an unexpected sandwich. Hmm. Was okay. Hot. Shallow and mindless. But hot. 4.4 5: Follows Yuuki around his first attempt to give his boyfriend Tadayoshi chocolate on Valentine's day. Fluffy and cute. 4.4 6: Koutarou is targeted by Takutou, who cleans the windows of the building where he works. Koutarou finds Takutou's intense gaze leaving him more and more flustered. Hmm. Didn't really see how their attraction could have developed. Was hard to get into. And why was that chief such a loose and shady dude. Really puts me off. 3.5
Untouchable
It's kind of a really interesting plot, maybe would be better as a standalone story and not a doujinshi. 4.6
Born to Love you
Yoshitake starts reading a story in the school news paper about two boys (Yosuke and Mikumo) who attended the school during showa era. Slowly, over time, he starts to realise that he might be reading about himself and a fellow teacher (Yahiro), but in a past life! I found myself to be quite confused about their feelings for one another. While Yahiro didn't seem to mind the connection, Yoshitake was heavily burdened by it. Also somewhat unclear about how Yahiro and Yosuke changed places. This take on reincarnation was slighty more complicated and confusing. I also didn't really feel their chemistry. It was sad and bittersweet and I certainly see how they might have grown close as Mikumo and Yosuke, but as Yoshitake and Yahiro? I don't quite see it. 4.4
I Wanna Feel You Inside -Seduced by a Sweet Devil
Shinnosuke has a bad habit if seducing and sleeping with men when he gets drunk. One night, he ends up sleeping with the heir to the demon kingdom, Julius and accidentally recieving the kernel of magic which is passed down from one demon king to the next generation's king. It was very hot, but the slapstick comedy bits take away from what is otherwise an interesting plot. I liked the solution, not at all what I expected. Overall, his brothers left much to be desired, and I didn't particularly like the dad either. But the seme was hardworking and suprisingly pure in some ways and the uke was likable enough. 4.45
Ijime-kko ni fukushū!
Sick of being bullied Mei asks his sister, who is well versed in the occult, to make a potion to get his revenge on Enoda, one of his bullies. Bullying is bad, but I have so many issues about the lack of body autonomy for Enoda. In any case, it didn't feel genuine. Also Enoda and his friends suck. 3.8
Matsuyoi no Oni
A "regular" fantasy author with just a bit of an ancient priest's blood in him, takes home an injured yokai (he's been able to see them since birth). The yokai, who was cursed by said priest, attacks him upon recovering conciousness, to gain back his magic (sex, it's always sex). It felt rushed and shallow. I don't understand why it's rated so high. 4.35
The Devil’s Temptation
So engaging and interesting. Not even sure who I want him to end up with. The uke is likable and headstrong. Personal aphrodisiacs are my jam. Both semes are dicks. But these dicks, I don't mind reading about. EDIT: okay! Seriously! What was I thinking?!!? Ivan, all the fucking way!!! Edit: Every sucker doesn't get their come uppance but everyone who deserves to be happy, are! I mean, I'll definitely take it Edit: Re-reading it knowing what I now know, it's kind of heartbreaking to see Noah sometimes. He's so strong, though. He endured so much, shit, to still come out the other end standing. I'm so proud of him. Alessandro too, to be fair. Definitely. But poor baby Noah, damn.
Bending the Spoon
Sheltered psychic and bad boy (but not really) become friends, and then something more. Good, a little unusual, could have been dark but wasn't. Which, again, good. I liked how they weren't lonely anymore 4.54
