The story of Minoru and Sora, who claims to be an alien come to Earth to find his partner.

Asou Mitsuaki has climbed to my top of favorite authors. This is the person behind "Only You, Only" and "Season." I think this might be an earlier work, a collection of oneshots, but they contain the same type of mature and subtle, well-paced relationships in her longer works. The most developed piece in this is about an 18yo student Yuusuke who places an ad for his ideal man, but never has the courage to approach them when they show up. He takes a chance on Gouki, who is ten years his senior and not interested in anything serious. Despite that, we watch them fall in love and later navigate hurdles like work and past lovers.

Super short but enjoyable oneshots. - Kid with major crush keeps meeting his crush's milestones and they finally get together - Two guys meet up at a reunion and become roommates; later, the teenage son of one assaults the other, but it's what they need to realize their feelings. I actually liked their story the best. - Newbie at work has to track down the old manager, who'd been in a relationship with the president's son and had to resign. - Strong friendship story about a part-timer who works around the clock to make ends meet and is picked up every morning by his manager, whom he originally knew only by his shoes - Two men in a long-term affair suspect they're being followed by a detective hired by one of their wives (they are divorcing)

A guy with a scent fetish falls for a delivery man. As expected, they like each other...but then someone mentions to the delivery man that the other one is only into him for his scent, which causes some unnecessary drama. Everything works out in the end.

Read this for the first couple, former coworkers who have been sleeping together for a while and their relationship comes to a head when marriage comes up. They surface again at the end of the final chapter. The rest are one shots, mostly rushed. The former coworkers who reunite after six years were sweet, although they argued a bit too much. I have no idea what the second story was trying to do. I feel like I really liked the fifth one but I can’t remember what it was about now.

Head's up for past nonconsent in the blind neighbor story.

Six couples, each a different zodiac sign, and their various romances. Cop and his childhood sweetheart boyfriend who is still in high school; an overprotective older brother whose little brother leaves home, so he starts to care for the neighbor; the younger brother and his unsociable friend from school. Really cute collection! I 100% called the Aquarius. :-D
