Saezuru Tori wa Habatakanai
Really intricate, somewhat-dark story with complex characters. It's really substantial for a yaoi, so if you're looking for an interesting read, this is for you.
Konbini-kun
Very touching with some tidbits of harsh reality thrown in. Somewhat standard slice of life story line, but it's very sweet and it's easy to empathize with the characters; additionally, Yamai is very non-traditional seme and it super kind and gentle--it's a really refreshing change of pace. The whole thing is a very cute and is a good for a pick-me-up!
Kamisama no Ude no Naka
Okay, so this was a really disjointed read as the some of characters look quite similar and the stories shifted around frequently. Some of the stories are a bit hard to read if you're not in the mood for non-con and violence (ex: Sasha's story); however, my blasphemy fetish was thoroughly satisfied with the conflicted priest bangin'. Shio's story was probably the most interesting to read, in my opinion, on top of being very cute. It has some great highlights, but overall it's quite muddled and getting invested in some of the characters was a little difficult.

I'm really loving this so far. The humor comes so naturally and it has so many great joyful moments. There are points where this story takes very depressing, realistic turns, particularly concerning loss. Some of the lines are truly powerful in expressing sadness (ex: when Mafuyu explains why he is unable to write lyrics) that it feels like a physical punch to the gut. I'm anxiously awaiting updates, as this story always has me on edge and holds my interest. Also, I ship the hell out of Akihiko and Haruki. I NEED MORE OF THEM!!
Blue Lust
This story is really heartwrenching so far. On the one hand, you have Souma who has a sense of self-loathing about his sexuality which displays itself as panicked desperation at the end of chapter 1. On the other hand, you have Hayato who feels obligated to take care of Souma because of his past. All of this is creating a very tense storyline that has a lot of potential for either a very heart-warming ending or an absolutely devastating one. I'm looking forward to what comes next!
Minori no Te
A physical therapist with the face of an angel (that is almost Makoto Tachibana-like in certain panels) that is absolutely devious? Yes, please! Dr. Minori's assertiveness when left alone with his clients and the dub-con scenarios that ensue are exactly what I was hoping for when I saw the cover. I know this story also ties into another yaoi, but I would prefer if each of the chapters were a bit longer. Although, I am looking forward to seeing what happened with Dr. Minori and the guy he's always thinking of. Hopefully more comes soon.

Ogeretsu Tanaka's punky-looking boys are always so gorgeous. The story is pretty standard, but it has a sweet ending. Did I mention Ryou is gorgeous?!
Dokuzetsu no S na Ore ga Jimi Riman ni Kuwaresou desu
Oh, wow. The dynamic in the end didn't surprise me as much as the expressions on the uke's face. Gorgeous and twisted.
