Rei-san is the best.

Office love, demoted for an affair scandal with a coworker, man is transferred to a small office in the boonies; his supervisor there seems to have this strange reputation that everyone goes nuts for him, even though he's not interested. Wait... That's it? So what was the whole deal with the ex? What stuff point of introducing him? It's like the story was going strong and then someone decided to shut down everything. Could've easily been 5/5 of not for that.

Three stories: 1st couple: College student is helped by his salaryman neighbour when he is missing his keys to enter his house. Despite the stoic and serious appearance, his neighbour surprisingly keeps a very filthy place; as thanks, the student decides to help him clean up and brings home cooked food over, little by little they seem to be be growing closer. 2nd couple: Airhead highschooler realises he has feelings for a classmate that is very kind and always prioritises others' wishes before his own. Sadly, it seems he is actually disliked by that classmate, since he's the only person that guy tries to avoid no matter what. 3rd couple: Highschooler seems to have become fuck-buddies with a sempai, te relationship has lasted about a year now, but he has grown feelings for his sempai despite the fact that he was only "chosen" because he looked like sempai's ex. Sugimoto-kun <3

After falling on top of a bit and breaking his glasses, highschooler starts working part time at the same shop where the guy lives and works. Little by little the boy falls for the guy, and if seems the guy might have feelings for him too, despite his flirty personality and age gap. It was cute, the first chapter was pretty much the same overused trope with the broken glasses, it got slightly better afterwards, a bit fluffy, but still nothing that I can say was outstanding or memorable.

Two stories: 1st couple: Pâtissier decides to leave his career to manage the bakery his parents left behind after dying. There, he meets a very special man who frequents his shop. Super cute, super fluffy, my only regret is that they didn't emphasise the food enough :P 2nd couple: Office worker meets his easy going cram school teacher neighbour and they both seem to get along pretty well. It was short, but still plenty cute :D

Two couples: 1st couple: Two guys have been friends since high school; Murase realised he was gay because he was attracted to his friend Ray, who is a foreigner working as a model. Murase told Ray about his feelings, and Ray being straight by reciprocate, but wasn't disgusted about it either. Now both in college, they are roommates but don't seem to hang out on public, butting heads constantly. Despite the fact that Murase is really attractive and popular both with men and women, he has never been in a relationship, and Ray has never taken any relationships seriously. I didn't really feel interested in this couple, I really disliked the way Ray did things, hurting Murase's feelings constantly. And I really didn't like how little self-respect Murase had for himself, just letting the other play him as long as he showed a little interest [possessiveness] in him. 2nd couple: After having been betrayed by his long-time girlfriend and his friend, man becomes roommates with his Sempai from college. One day a man returns his missing notebook (with his school pass, among other things) and outright says that he delivered the things in person because the man in the photo was just his type. This one was pretty cute and sweet, I liked how that other guy was really open and straightforward and was clear with his intentions from the very start, he never hid anything and was willing to respect the other guy's wishes without forcing himself on him.

Popular and laid back guy saves a really cute guy from being raped by a Sempai twice in the same day. After that they become friends, after a few more guys attempt to go after after the cute guy, they decide to pretend to be a couple, to deter the other guys. This was quite a cute story, very fluffy and adorable. I only wish it was longer :P

3 couples, all from the same school. Stories were cute, I have a bit of mixed feelings from the first couple since I was cringing and really uncomfortable for the first part, but then the other two parts they might have become my favourite couple.
