I got the books from Japan last week. The extras add more details to the stories so I will sum it up below

[SPOILER]

Extra 1:

During the school’s sports festival, Ayame caught Shuu and made him go with him, saying “there’s only you”. Apparently Ayame was taking part in the “borrowing game” (during which participants randomly choose a “hint” or “description” and need to find someone who matches the hint on school ground, “borrow”” that person to return together). Kaede found a paper Ayame dropped that said “Glasses”, which is why Ayame chose Shuu.

Back to present, Ayame and Shuu are caught in the rain after work. They get on a taxi together, when Shuu asks why Ayame picked him that time. There were others also wearing glasses. After pausing a bit, Ayame replied that Shuu’s thick glasses stood out a lot so that’s that. Truth is, the hint Ayame picked up said “The person you like”. He tore it into pieces and got another hint. Later on, while running he abruptly turned back to look at Shuu being out of breath behind and thought, but there has always been only you. (GOD DAMN SOMEONE KILL ME #SOB)

Extra 2:

Shuu talked to Kaede about how Ayame has gotten back his omega pheromone insensitivity (the only time he recognised and reacted to Shuu’s pheromone was in chapter 6). Kaede said there’s no such thing as pheromone insensitivity. It’s simply because Ayame’s threshold is much higher than normal people, so he has the capacity to take in a lot pheromones before reacting to them. That night Ayame returned from a business trip to Korea. They were acting cute together and had some steamy episodes before Ayame realises and asked why Shuu didn’t say anything about being in heat. Shuu said the love word a lot that night and Ayame was acting like the happiest guy in the world.

Later on, Kikyou told Kaede that he thinks those two must be fated pair. Kaede said, there’s no such thing as fated pair. It doesn’t exist. Since the beginning those two had stayed close to each other, so what Shuu thought to be Ayame’s pheromone (the “sweet smell”) is simply Ayame’s personal body odour. Believing in fated pair feels nice, but only the weak ones that don’t have confidence in their relationship need to cling onto the “destiny”. A relationship between two people should belong in their own hands and not dictated by an unforeseen force.

The books also come with small extra after each chapter. Like after chapter 4 we learn that the reason why Ayame is attached to Mamu-chan is because one time Shuu chose Mamu-chan. Many days later Ayame was bothered as to why Mamu-chan is what Shuu wants he ended up buying it home himself lol.

There’re also short extras on the inner cover of both books. Their son Sumire appears on the inner sleeves of second book. It’s explained that Shuu chose to quit his job after having Sumire. He got the personality from Ayame and hair colours from Shuu.
