Just a bunch of steamy one shots. I have no idea what the theme is supposed to be. Plots are mostly meh, art style is old-school.

So, I liked most of this. It’s all cute one shots. 1) High school boy befriends “scary” student in class, who is actually awkward, purehearted, and clumsy. Love this couple, adorable! 2) High school boy is nicknamed Prince Half-ass because he goes with the flow and goes out with anyone but doesn’t make any effort to stay with anyone, until he gets asked out by a cute boy. When the boy breaks up with him he decides to get him back. 3) Boy is in love with an uncle he used to be close with when he was younger, until the uncle got married anyway. Time passes, the wife died, and they begin to be close again. 4)College boy helps a drunk guy in the park, who turns out to be a guy in his major at his school. The drunk guy follows him around trying to get closer and date him. 5)Playboy teacher pursues student who tries to distance himself. I liked chapter 5 the least. The plot felt super disjointed and the teacher not at all likable. Would’ve probably rated this manga higher if it wasn’t for this chapter.

Translation a bit spotty at times. These are all unrelated one-shots. They’re ok, inoffensive but a little bland. The last one was the most emotional and probably the best, even though it’s kinda sad

Renai Kaizou no Susume

This was really nice. Ch1) A boy gets paired up with a large, gloomy, disheveled looking guy for a project and they become friends when the boy realizes that there's more to him than his looks. He gives him a makeover but regrets it when the big guy gets a lot of attention from the ladies. Ch2) Two boys are friends. One of them is cursed with horrible luck, and the other takes care of him the best he can, but one day he realizes that his friend's bad luck might be caused by him. Ch3) Two, comically over-mature preschool kids play matchmakers to their teachers. Ch4) The kids as teenagers reminiscing about the teachers. There's a hint that the blonde boy likes the other boy but there's no resolution at all. If this chapter didn't feel so incomplete I'd give this more stars.

Ok, but pretty average. This manga is a bunch of one shots about either salarymen or restaurant workers. One guy is usually looking after another guy in some way until they realize that there’s more then that between them
