This is a friendship story, which was a nice change, but too unfocused for me. I didn't particularly enjoy it, although I now know the origin of a photo that appears quite often from teams asking for scanners, of a man with two-tone hair and eyeliner throwing open a door. So that was nice.

This is actually really nice! Although it's about death, it focuses on the peaceful passing that the guides provide, and the final story is really lovely.

A man can see the projection of another man on his veranda. The man seems lonely. And then they meet.

An ethereal young man with the power of leviathan attends an all-boys school where he reunites with the older, stoic version of a boy with the ability to control smoke, who had saved him as a child.

I read this on Lezhin Comics and loved it. The earth was plunged into a second ice age following a global disaster, and vampires have evolved to become the dominant species, raising humans as livestock. A human called 'One' becomes acquainted with Shell Overlord, son of the owner of the blood bank where One is employed - a rarity among humans. Shell realizes that his vampire pheromones have no effect on One and comes out to him as an "abnormal" - a vampire who wishes to be dominated by humans. One, who despises vampires, finds himself in what amounts to an S&M relationship with Shell, who is actually a tender, kind person, and One's worldview is rocked when he falls in love with him and discovers new information about his own father. But beyond their love story is a plot to destroy a hopeless, hellish existence for humans by eliminating all vampires. Wonderful world-building and absolutely gorgeous art. There are a lot of chapters which are purely pornish, but there's a lot of emotion and some interesting plot stuff too. This author obviously thought out the world and plotted the story before she began creating. I read the story start to finish in about twelve hours. If you can afford the credits, please consider buying it on Lezhin to support the author.

The mayor's grandson from a small town in Hokkaido finds his life changed when a new art teacher joins his school. Ten years later, they reunite in Tokyo. Theirs is the best story of the bunch and has an extra chapter at the very end. Five stars for this story alone. <3 A man recovering from a breakup goes to Berlin on a whim and meets a half German, half Japanese man named Sascha who runs a cafe. A supernatural story about wolves and a mage.

In a world where certain humans have animal characteristics and are considered monsters, two childhood friends who have been forcibly separated for ten years are reunited in a school where monsters are kept segregated from the rest of society.

I've read this as part of another story on this site. This is the first part, where two men - Amano and Takano - who haven't seen each other in 20 years go out for drinks. They're interrupted by Takano's ex-lover, who mistakes Amano for Takano's current lover and punches him. When he wakes up, Amano is back in high school, in Takano's bed, and believes he's in a dream. He and Takano form a close relationship before he's taken back to the future, to find himself in the current Takano's bed. And Takano is angry, because twenty years earlier, after they'd slept together, Amano seemingly forgot everything about it. Also appears in http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/dorobou_to_hatsukoi/

Shiwoo returns home one day to find an injured man in strange clothing asleep outside of his apartment. The man can't speak Korean but seems astonished to see him and kisses him. After a few days and a brief crash-course in modern Korean, Shiwoo learns that the man's name is Jun, that he comes from another time, and that Shiwoo is the spitting image of Jun's husband. I would've liked to have seen a bit more development with regards to the idea of parallel universes. Was Shiwoo actually Myung's reincarnation or his double in another universe? Was the birthmark a coincidence? How did Jun arrive here? Why did Jun arrive with his memories? Does any of that matter? Maybe not. This story was ultimately about Jun accepting the loss of his spouse and moving on with life - and the same was true for Shiwoo as well. I liked the parallel with his missing brother and the hope that, like Jun and Myung, perhaps he is alive somewhere. The translator's comments throughout made me laugh, especially the dig about Onodera. I laughed out loud and had to save it.

A doomed love story. Quite sad but at least they were able to make a memory, and maybe that visit wasn't restricted to a single time.
