Super cute, wish the uke wasn't QUITE so frail looking but this was a really fun read overall!

Divorced guy is deep in debt and asks his gay childhood friend for money. Childhood friend says ok but only if he becomes his lover. I love how quickly the in-debt guy agrees to the arrangement lol. They kinda just cohabitate for a while until the in-debt guy's wife tries to get back together with him, then shit hits the fan. I loved the gay friend's pissed off faces. They are literally the best lolol They start legit dating but the gay guy is deeply insecure because of a past relationship and worries that their realtionship is doomed because of the divorced guy being straight.

Well, this was really good. I got some serious heart-clenching moments from this. First it starts out with a Rio, who gets his notebook snatched by the new transfer student, Tomo-chan. He sees a picture of a good looking teacher in it and guessing that Rio is gay and pledges that he will make him not gay anymore (with methods that are SUPER gay and date-like lololol). They go from basically fuck buddies to in love and Tomo-chan is very possessive. Two other guys attempt to snatch Rio away, Haruka and Jo. There's stories for both of them. Jo ends up falling for a gloomy classmate who prostitutes with older men on the side. Haruka has a long story-line love triangle between Masami and Ayumi, who are Tomo-chan's older brothers. Masami is in a love-less marriage and forcefully pursues Haruka and Ayumi gently tries to get Haruka to accept his love. I'm not entirely happy with the end of his story but it wasn't that bad, I guess.

This was ok to me but nothing I'd read again. I liked the first couple- the childhood best friends, one of whom is recently divorced and asks the other to live with him. I didn't care all too much about the 19th century couple. And I think I would've liked the last couple but it was too short so I didn't have time to get too attached.

Hm, most of this is an age-gap story about a 24 year old teacher and a 15 year old student. It's partly sweet, partly creepy with how innocent the student is and how NOT innocent the teacher is. I wanted to see more story development involving the student's friend who was obviously in love with him, but that was hardly touched on at all. There's also a story about apartment living neighbors, one of whom is a bored, jaded but popular host.

The main story is not much of a story. Two schoolboys like each, bone each other a lot. The End. There's another story that super messed up feeling, about a guy who's pushed around and basically abused by his obsessive childhood friend, to the extent that the bossy friend doesn't even like him to look at anyone else and wishes to lock him away. Felt down-right creepy to read.

Light and fluffy. Guy gets involved with another construction worker with a mild muscle fetish but finds out he's the president of the construction company and he's super rich. I liked it ok, but was only so-so about the art style.

Old-school art style but pretty smutty lol. First chapter is about two college boys, one who is revered as an untouchable prince, but in reality he's clumsy and trips over his words. He gets asked out by a guy he likes but his insecurities make him scared and unhappy. The next two chapters are about a guy who wakes up to see his best friend jerking off to his sleeping face. Awkwardness ensues until the friend confesses, they have sex and the friend reveals his possessive, sex-fiend side. Then there's a chapter about friends, one who's secretly in love with the other and the other guy who, after being dumped by a girl who asked if they were gay, suddenly kisses his friend to test the waters.

I really love this author's art style. The plots tend to lean more cute and fluffy that steamy, though. Half of this is about a guy who admires another guy's judo ability and goes to his high school to get closer and learn from him. But after following him around he finds out that the guy he admires can't play competatively because he's recovering from an accident. But all that following made them really close and feelings start to develop that he struggles with. Cute, loved this couple. Then the rest of this is about reunited friends, one who's a slutty uke type, but also deeply lonely because he's been basically abandoned by his parents. I'm not a huge fan of slutty uke stories but this somehow still managed to be pretty cute.
