Levi hears people speaking about him behind his back and wonders how Erwin sees him.

If Junjou Romantica and Soredemo Yasashii Koi wo Suru hooked up and had a baby manga, it'd be this. Kirishima, a guy with a massive brother complex is the secret love interest of his gay best friend, Toudou, who accepts the love as unrequited and, for a time, appears to have taken an interest Kirishima's little brother Hokuto. But like Onoda in Soredemo, when Kirishima learns that Toudou has been in love with him for many years and wants to end their friendship, he refuses to let Toudou out of his life and insists they try to date. Sweet. Not my favorite but endearing, and it didn't make me cry.

Spin-off to Renai Nante Yurushimasen! This story follows the younger brother and the guy he likes, a transfer student who has just moved back to Japan after many years in America.

A collection of beautiful, quiet, moving, melancholy stories. The most developed is a young tea master who saves a wounded member of the yakuza from dying; they have the first few and final chapter.

A happy couple works as detectives and comes into a little difficulty when one of them is expected to succeed his family's group. What a wonderful change from the norm! Two people who like each other, mutually respect each other, and have full confidence in their relationship. I'd love to read the brother's story, if it exists.

Iwaizumi and Oikawa elope in Bolivia. (this chapter is in the print version) The second chapter is about the only time they ever separated, at twenty, and Oikawa became ill as a result and had to be hospitalized. It's beautiful and I cried.

Chapters 1-4: A man sick of relationships with no future rents a professional boyfriend but ends up falling for him.

Ten years after his confession was brushed off as a joke, Ichika is still in love with Shuu, who only sees him as a best friend. Shuu is constantly being dumped; the only constant relationship is with Ichika. He even envisions their families' future together. But after he sees Ichika go into a hotel with a man, Shuu begins to think differently about him. A nice take on the friends-to-lovers trope. A neat surprise was that Ichika had never had penetrative sex with anyone else, so they both had a first experience with each other.

This was SO sweet! A second grade teacher, Hitsuji, is reunited with the man he'd loved in high school - who is the single father of one of Hitsuji's students.
