After Morning Love
A little sad but mostly sweet story of a lawyer who worries and begins to look after a young male prostitute who initially tricks him into thinking they hooked up when he was drunk. The lawyer really goes above and beyond what most people would do for someone and the prostitute can't help but to fall for him even though he knows he shouldn't because the lawyer is straight.

So, I wasn't sure I was going to like this because I usually don't like man-slut characters but you never actually see anyone screwing someone else. This is about a bartender who used to be a serial cheater until his boyfriend dumped him and a recently fired, also serial cheater salaryman who randomly wanders into the bar one night. They hit it off and the salaryman starts working and living with the bartender but they still try to keep the relationship not serious. But the bartender confesses his love and spooks the former salaryman into running from him. Their little breakup makes them both realize how much they care for each other. When they're reunited the bartender becomes very clingy and afraid his boyfriend will leave again. I really enjoyed this. I liked the seme's possessiveness, even though it was way over the top. I really like though how the characters developed and changed along the way.
Between the Sheets (HASHIMOTO Aoi)
SUPER sexy! Damn. Ichise is the rich president of an upscale hotel chain, who frequents a tiny unknown bar because he's interested in the bartender there, Takafumi. Takafumi rebuffs anyone's advances and keeps a distance from all customers. But one day Ichise gets Takafumi to go out with him for dinner and drinks and they end up having sex. When Ichise gets busy and doesn't contact him after a few weeks Takafumi assumes it means he was just a fling. Ichise starts pursuing him even more, struggling to regain the momentum he lost with Takafumi. The plot was realistic, the characters were all likable and the sex scenes were scorchers!

Interesting, nice art. Seno is a bartender who gets confessed to by a customer, Hakamada, but rejects him by claiming they can’t be together because they’re both Tachi/semes, but in reality he was assualted years ago and still can’t stand to be touched. Seno ends up telling Hakamada the truth and Hakamada refuses to give up on him
Crossover Love
Nice but quite old-yaoi feeling. This is about a bartender who’s in a relationship with the bar’s owner, who is a yakuza leader. One day the owner disppears and the bartender finds out its because yakuza stuff has been happening and the owner wants to protect him by not drawing attention to him
Suki Nante Iwantoite
Nice. I liked this a lot. Itsuki gets drunk and passes out in a bar after venting to the bartender about his ex. Because he has no choice, Minato takes him home and when Itsuki wakes up he finds himself in bed with Minato and becomes attracted to him. They have sex and Itsuki decides he wants to continue their ambiguous relationship even though he's straight.
