5 Seconds
What the fck is this shit XD I can't take it seriously nor can I take it as comedy. Sorry XD So now I undropped it. I dropped it at the fist story, so when I learned it's multiple stories, I picked it up again, because it feels unfair for the other stories. 1. First/titular story takes up 2 chapters + the extra. It made me drop this anthology because of its weirdness - the idea seems hot and funny at the same time. Though when I read the extra, my impression took a 180-degree turn because IT'S JUST EXTREMELY HOT. TWICE THE SENSATION. OMG. 6/10 (3/10 for the main, +3 from the extra) 2. The second story is about twins who reencounter each other after some time. It's not said why they're away from each other - perhaps due to career choices or something, although it's hinted that their parents might've separated them after catching them in action *insert sad cockblocked lenny face*. Cliche. 4/10. 3. Soooo... This one caught my attention. I haven't read much manga about stalkers (I honestly hate romanticization of such behaviour), but this one was nice. Stalker x stalker. Not cliche, but not exemplary. 5/10. 4. This one is a huge wtf for me. Yes, this is not to my taste. Regardless, I think it would still get a low score from me because the dialogues are messy at some point (who's who, who's talking, what's happening), and the art/camera-view isn't good either. Aaaand, the story is simply about the third person in the 3-way friendship who feels left out + some UNHEALTHY BDSM, yet still manages to make itself look more complicated unnecessarily. 2/10. 5. I kinda want to see more of this tbh. A story about two highschool students, one wants to be an actor, the other wants to be a cameraman/director/whatever that captures the actor's best points. Then when they grew up, the one aspiring to be an actor fails and lands a job as a gay AV actor. All's well that ends well they say. :) I like the ending. 7/10. Overall: 2.4/5 or 2 stars. Still the same as the score I gave before.

O. M. G. THIS WAS SOOOO GOOD. Both stories were cliche, but the delivery is so great, you won't even mind Ch 1-3: Two friends watching porn and jacking off together. We all know where this goes ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I LOVE THE TRANSLATIONS! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! Ch 4-7: He's always loved his friend but his friend has a crush on someone else who has a mutual attraction with him. I love the extra supportive friend "I know how you feel, you don't have to pretend" "It's just so painful" Edit: oh god, I'm rereading this right now and saw my friend's name again. Well, I guess it's to be expected since Hoshikuzuu is (was, ig, since they're closed now) a big team and it looks like he worked there for quite some time. I miss you, Zehi. I hope you're happy reading BL or whatever thingamajig up there or somewhere.
Ouji-sama No Hiyaku Jikken
Dropped at ch2. At this point, I'm expecting the other stories to be as trash as the first two. Ch 1: let's get real. This is pedophilia (and grooming). Beyond that, it's just bland story with a bland sex scene. 1/10 I like the flowers so I'll leave it 1 point. Ch 2: cheating uke. I'd be fine with it if the seme was fine with it, but nope. How much of an idiot is the uke???? Doesn't he have anything better to do other than sex??? Or idk, maybe as a "low libido" type of person, I can't fucking relate to him. 0/10
Monogatari no Ketsumatsu wa
Ah yes, the trope of being a good friend and helping your friend masturbate.
Kiwa (Kaori Monchi)
Did he just accidentally lick the floor? (Lol, once I noticed, I couldn't unsee) I like how it leaves it up to its reader's interpretation. Did his father really look at him and touch him indecently as a kid, or is it just his own version of his memory? Is the ending really indicative of him finally having sex with his father or is it not?

Seme has a great helping hand, huh
