Kouki (seme) is a flower arrangement specialist. Eijun (uke) is a calligraphic, who has had a crush on Kouki for several years. The two artists have lived across the street from each other, in their family homes their whole lives. Each teaches classes in their related fields, and they are both famous for their art. However, the two haven't spoken for seven years. That's when Eijun realized his feelings for Kouki, and distanced himself from his straight friend. On a whim, Eijun decides to make peace with Kouki, and the two decide to drink together. Eijun gets drunk and confesses to Kouki.

Naruse is a devoted, single father raising his young son, Ichika. Overwhelmed by housework, raising his son, and maintaining their home, and schedules, Naruse hires Asumi as a housekeeper. Asumi is attracted to the somewhat naive Naruse, almost immediately. Despite the fact that both are straight, the two eventually begin an affair. They must find a way to balance their relationship, care for Ichika and contend with social criticism of their budding relationship.

Sweet love story between childhood best friends, Teo and Camilo. Teo runs a liquor store, directly across a narrow walkway from Camilo's tobacco shop. Camilo, who is openly bisexual, confesses to Teo, who is straight. Camilo asks Teo to consider his feelings, and take his time to give Camilo a reply. Teo must evaluate his feelings, and even does some research on gay sex! However, Camilo is hardly waiting patiently. Each night, under the guise of intensive alcohol training, Camilo and Teo meet to drink, and ultimately kiss, for several nights, finally end up fooling around. What will happen to their long standing relationship?

Vampires and lycanthropes, oh my! Wonderfully done. The main, uke characters are both tearful, submissive virgins who must be babied and frequently coerced into sex and reassured. This plays out, twice, within the story so far. I rolled with it, bc the storyline is otherwise flawless and incredibly well drawn. Involves muti-gendered characters (spoiler: male human form but female lycanthrope, and resulting male pregnancy). Must read for fans of vampire yaoi.
