O: It was sweet… but it bothered me how the uke looked mildly girly.

P: vignette00 [59728]: Two-story volume. The first is about a high school student who is blackmailed by a salaryman(?) over stealing pencil lead. If that sounds petty, that's because the characters are bare sketches, and the plot merely hints at development. The fundamental question of "do the characters fall in love?" is answered, but there's a family subplot for the student and a backstory for the O: Pfft.. I don’t really like this author’s writing+drawing style :P

Another sweet kitty begs for the ability to convey feelings of love from the man he loves to the man's former lover. Stories that are so sweet and pure, they cuddle up and purr. O: The plot is.. unique and it was cute I guess.. but no offence this isn’t really my kind of manga.

Kazuma was the only one that Yukihiro had wanted to protect even though the burden that Kazuma carried was too dangerous. What should they do? A very in-depth story revolving around the Japanese traditions and the underworld and how the gentle and delicate Yukihiro and a powerful Kazuma managed to influence each other to find their true self. O: Slightly off-putting art, I suppose it’s cute but tbh I didn’t really enjoy this.

P: Collection of yaoi - teacher and alumni, teacher and student, upper and underclassman, and classmates who are childhood friends O: It’s interesting.. I enjoyed the classmates one the best. The other two were kinda confusing, there is original drawing (messy). The first story (teacher and student) was a bit weak, and I didn’t enjoy it.

P: takame [49344]: Stories about neighbors who both happen to be seme (with one common point... both were sadistic) and how they gained their respective ukes. Ch.1-2, 5.1: Freelancers. some frigid guy needs manpower so he had to contact that rumored #gay kouhai who they say had a thing for him. And so #country bumpkin went to tokyo but still got in trouble with his #pheromones that even affected the #straight seme. Ch.3-4: #sadistic #bully seme #popular seme x #cry-baby #gloomy uke and a little bit otaku-ish. Is a really cute college love story. Uke is very ordinary, frowny, shy and quite misogynistic too. then there's this guy (seme) he's hating bec. he just have everything. he knew how ordinary he was and being with this capable and popular guy droves it home so he has no idea why he kept being friends with him. ch.5: BJ at the bushes lol. straightlaced #younger seme who does #housework x a baby-faced #stoic uke #older uke #lewd uke #cool beauty but despite appearances, is actually a slob. works as a #shop clerk. O: It’s so good, several times a warm sensation enveloped my entire body. In the second story, Tachibana is a sadist, but I enjoy it better than the first one -ω- The third one was kinda unexpected. The first one was meh.

Third couple: MC gets picked on at work by his superior bc he knows he secret (he saw him crossdressing for a job) O: Cute, fluffy, sweet and funny. I enjoyed little bits of each story omg xD in the second one “Son! Could I have your father!!” That awkward elevator door moment :’) This was good, there were feels. Rereading... LOL C4.5 is crackup. Rereading, yeah I still quite like this manga. It's not perfect - there feels like a fair bit of gaps, but it was an enjoyable read. The relationships felt slightly off and random, but it's ok. Wasn't a huge fan of the first couple tbh. TIL eating too much sugar can decrease your drive?! 5-->4
