Partners
What I like about these stories is the reality of the characters, the closeted businessman, his resentful lover, the know-it-all physician, the self-loathing athlete, the effeminate 'wife' - they love, they're jealous of each other, they have secrets and insecurities. I would have like to have been able to read more of their backstories. A most mature group of tales. Only the 'lightsaber dick' censorship is annoying.
Love Me Hard
There is some bondage in the first story, and very light sadism. The prostitute story has some more hardcore (and unpleasant sadism). I like the last story where the uke makes his seme 'study' a book.
Kichiku Megane
Another “I love you so I’ll rape and humiliate you until you fall for me” story. Little sympathy for either character.
