Soine Lovers
TRIGGER WARNING: pedophilia, rape and Stockholm syndrome (ch4, ch5 is also rapey) Ch 1: cute and simple. too fast too furious XD 2 Ch 2: better than the 1st but still fast paced (tho at least you feel something from the side the rk dude, can't feel it much from the other dude tho) 4 Ch 3-4: NO. IT DID NOT DO JUSTICE ON THE CASE. IT FUCKING BELITTLED STOCKHOLM SYNDROME. URK. Call me petty, but I really don't like how the manga mentioned Stockholm syndrome only to belittle it by saying "it's love". 0/10 Ch 5: rapey and messy. like gets ko na naalala mo ung memories mo, but dahil lang dun okay na? di ba nagpakamatay ka dahil dun? hah? gulo mo. i liked the concept of having no place in heaven
simplified translation: nonsensical character. 1/10
Pet Shimasu!
1-2) Pet Shimasu! (I'm the pet!) - 3/10 A story about a boy (Morioka Shizuru) whose dad left him and his mom, leaving a huge debt behind. Because of the enormous debt his father left, his mom can no longer pay for the house bills, ergo, having unpaid rent to the apartment owner. His mom, sick of hearing mean words from the owner, asks him to be the one to go over and notify the owner of the delayed payment. As the title suggests, Shizuru then becomes a temporary "pet" of the owner, acting as a replacement for the owner's dead dog, Catherine. The first chapter showed how Shizuru became attached to the owner, and the second chapter ended with their feelings connected. Aside from the fact that this type of plot is overused, it also failed to build up the romance. It's like in one page, Shizuru's pissed off at how he's supposed to act, then the next page, he suddenly wants to stay as a dog longer to be with the owner. Shounen ai, although there's an extra after ch.2 showing a bit of yaoi. 3) Love Drive - 5/10 A story about co-workers, one (Saeki) of which is from Tokyo, and is mean to the MC (Ogawa). Due to some unforeseen circumstances at work, and non-existent driving skills, Saeki requests Ogawa to accompany him. The day ends and a misunderstanding arises. The misunderstanding brought secondhand embarrassment, although just to the right amount. Saeki's previous behavior towards Ogawa wasn't brought into light though. 4) Manager is a Dangerous Job - 5/10 Nakatani is the manager of Kamijyou Hikaru, the current top idol with non-ideal lifestyle (drinking, smoking and women). Nakatani is forced to keep his eyes on Hikaru so as to protect the idol's reputation. Hijinks ensue. Again, another overused plot. *spoilers?* I like how Hikaru stopped midway because he knew it wasn't consensual, and settled for skinship (although that's still sexual harassment of some sort). 5) It's a Secret for Onii-chan - 4/10 Masaka Kore side-story (I haven't read it yet /*will update this after*/) A story about co-part timers in a convenience store. *spoilers?* The newly hired guy is similar to the other guy's big bro, and the other guy takes interest in him. It's one-shot story and there really isn't much development except for them getting together and the clarification that he does not have a brocon. 6) My Lover as My Bodyguard - 3/10 Rich kid takes pity on poor kid. Rich kid makes poor kid his "slave" (not really XD just someone that tends to his every whim). Overused plot and flat characters. I find it funny that their names are Aoi and Shouta though (✿´ ꒳ ` ) 7) This is Surely Love - 6/10 Masaka Kore extra (I haven't read it yet /*will update this after*/) *spoilers?* Uke leaves his boxers at seme's house to have a reason to go over (and have sex). That's just it. But it is cute, and does show an ounce of how the uke loves the seme and how the seme reciprocates it. Dat ass tho.
Kawaisa Amatte Nanika ga Hyakubai
I've read this waaaay before and dropped it right off the bat at page 15 because of the fucking rape. That said, I did finish the first story after N years. And it's just... okay. It attempted being sweet and cute although I can't erase it from my head that it started off as rape and that the seme "teased" (aka bullied) the uke for being gay a few days before the rape happened. 1/10 The second story (lol, it had multiple stories and I dropped it before just because of the first story. Note to authors and editors: put a good story at the beginning, lest people will drop it without knowing that there are multiple stories =n=) is just meh and cliche although the omake is nice. haha cute "take turns everyday". 4/10 The last story was nice. It's about transvestites. The uke is not exactly a homophobe, but hates them cuz he was bullied cuz of his trans dad so he judged his seme. Well, as this is BL, he likes the seme regardless. That said, I dun feel the romance/love. i just like the rep of trans. 6/10 Average of 3.67/10

0-1 stories are either meh or annoying or romanticized rape so no. ew
Natsukage Ni, Sayonara
The first/main story is fine. I got annoyed when the seme kept harassing the uke, but it ended well anyway. I loved the extra bits in the end though~ The whole family knows about it without them revealing it lol. And the family accepts them. How nice~ On the other hand... The second story is shit. The seme is shit. The seme is shittier than shit.
Bachi Bachi (KIJIMA Hyougo)
The first one was very surprising. What a plot twist. The second one (the one with the stylist) was pretty nice. I really loved the daughter, hehe~ I just skimmed through the third one, pretty much meh. And a bit pedo, I guess. The fourth one will probably haunt me for years. It's like boku no pico plus beastiality. TT^TT The fifth one is also just okay. The singer reeeaaallly looks like Sebby hahaha. Then there's an extra for the second story which was nice.
Me O Ubau Wa Hana No Kao
...how old is the other guy?
Doutei Hitsuji To Abazure Ookami
I'm mostly annoyed only by the first story. But the other stories weren't good either, just meh.
Sayonara Boku No Princess Lolita
First story was okay... One page confession scene, the other, a sex scene. Second story is seme x seme. Would want to see them switch, lmao. Third story was the best for me. A story about moving on and accepting reality :)
