Boulange no Koibito
super cute!! old but still resonates today. baker and novelist. they meet cuz novelist keeps coming to his bakery to buy bread and faints one day. they kinda just naturally get together and most of the chapters are just them being cute and supporting each other's careers! also one shot about neighbours who used to go to the same high school but didn't know each other. that's not really important, but they start getting attracted to each other and fuck after drinking.
On the Quiet
first story about neighbours who helped each other out and slowly get close. some misunderstanding about one guy liking the other guy's brother led to confession. then story about classmates or same year peers. one guy likes the other and acts kinda awkward, so other guy thinks he hates him. but they clear things up and get together. third story is a friend from second story and his sex friend relationship with a senpai turning into romantic relationship. liked it least ugh. i'm just not into glasses studious types. this author is kinda into misunderstanding angst cuz that's present for all of them, but it's not really enough to warrant the tag lol cuz they're just oneshots with a little angsty action
Junjou To Furachi
one shots most with just a hopeful ending but nothing is super confirmed. like it ends just as they confess or kiss or something lol chap 3, 4 stood out. chap 2, 5 not bad but not so memorable. chap 1 not into it cuz like this guy and senpai already slept together and he likes senpai but he pretends to support his friend's crush on the senpai. then at the end his friend is turning to him after being rejected by senpai but he totally throws his friend aside to go find the senpai. ugh just feel bad for the friend.

first story started off strong but the resolution chapter was weak as hell. confused about it cuz so much stuff happened all jam packed into 1 chapter. not clear what was happening in each scene. they didn't really confess their feelings clearly, or at least i feel like ayase didn't... just too implied and artsy for my liking. also it's unclear what's going on with the grandma cuz in the previous chapter she was so cold and like she was acting distant cuz he's gay but then in the last chapter she's suddenly so loving towards him. idk just very unsatisfactory ending. but the extra chapter at the end is pretty cute where they finally get some privacy to have sex at a love hotel lol loved the second story!! so funny and cute. they work at a restaurant together, the uke loving the seme's food. they get together pretty quickly after the seme makes a move and the uke realizes he doesn't hate it. there's a little misunderstanding angst where the uke is scared of gay sex and then overhears about marriage, actually the seme's mother's marriage and not him, and then finally agrees to have sex after 3 months lol. kinda feel bad for the seme always being rejected with excuses, but i'm glad he stayed respectful and still loved uke. just adorable!
Lotus Eater
dropped first story 2 chapters in. just not into this pair. uke is a side character from Wonderful Days. seme just suddenly confesses to him but uke has some hang up about not dating bi men. also he's kinda a slut sleeping around the gay district idk always going to the bar. one shot story at the end is about infirmary sensei and student who always comes. just slowly they develop feelings i guess and late one night they suddenly fuck lol
Come to Hand
SO CUTE!! the main story is about a sensei and his student from 10 years ago. 35 and 28, small age gap. they get together pretty quick after the student, now a tattoo artist, saves sensei after he collapses outside the shop. tattoo shop student kinda lies a little cuz sensei didn't remember him, but then truth is revealed easily at a reunion and there's basically no drama. just pure fluffy cuteness and even the art is so soft! they spent some time figuring out having sex before sensei finally gathers courage to ask and they just suddenly do it which is kinda unrealistic lol. looove the oneshot story at the end. might be even better than the main story. actor and a writer. actor is playing lead male in a movie adapted from the writer's novel. they are introduced and actor is already a huge fan. author takes him home to give him some signed books and they keep promising to eat hot pot together. eventually actor confesses he needs to do a kiss scene and is nervous cuz he's never kissed. writer gives such a sexy face omg and asks if he wants to practice with him. ofc they do and then next day it's time to act the kiss scene but it rains. writer calls and said he wished for it to rain and they confess to each other omg so cute!!

first story very domestic and cute. guy gets left at the alter and starts living with his best friend. best friend pampers him and takes care of him so much that he falls in love. he's about to leave to avoid this feeling but his best friend gets drunk and jerks him off and begs him not to leave cuz he's always been in love with him lol. so they confess to each other and get together. second chap is them being domestic and cute but the guy is feeling a bit worthless cuz he doesn't do much around the house. his best friend takes care of everything. he is so relaxed that he's also being like that at work. he starts working himself so hard that he just becomes even more useless and distant at home. in the end nothing changes but he realizes he shouldn't have worked so hard?? he just promises to work more at home but idk what the point of it all was lol cuz he promised that before too and his best friend just said he loves to pamper the other guy so no need. second story is short shounen-ai. really no romance at all. they are neighbours, one in high school and the other a low grade adult who didn't attend high school in person. high schooler cooks and cleans for the other guy. one day invites him to school cuz the adult never had the high school experience. just took online classes. while there the adult has some revelation like he's so useless while the high schooler has such a bright life and future. so that inspires him to make a change in his own life. he didn't want to see the high schooler again until he changed himself. but high schooler misses him and hears him collapse in his room one day. rushes over to help and says he didn't need to change himself to be friends. and even though he confesses, it's taken as a friendly "like" so they don't get together..... third story super cute about guy with small dick and bigger shy guy. he sees big guy being used for sex cuz he wanted close human contact or something, not sure the reasoning for the big guy's past relationship is sound. so small dick guy takes it upon himself to be big guy's friend so he won't need the other guy for human contact. but after a long time being friends he sees other guy get together with the sex friend again and gets mad. big guy says he has sexual frustration towards small guy and that's why he needed to vent it out. small guy says it's ok just use me and they do it lol. last story is about boss and the guy he interviewed and then got hired. underling loves this boss so much. boss got a tick bite near his pubes. he is shaving it while at the company onsen retreat. underling sees him and offers to help. boss gets hard as his ass is being shaved. they fuck. underling says he didn't like boss like this before, but now he does. boss always had a thing for the underling, from the interview. so i guess now they're together?? i guess there's an age gap here but not specified. idk these stories had potential, especially the first one, but i'm just not a fan of oneshots cuz they can't put in much story.
