Again, very short. Not bad but short. :) I didn't even mind that the one brother prodded the other's ex-wife's new boyfriend. LOL Go Kyou!

Koi ni Oboreru Houkago

Complete | kabutomaru chouko | 2006 released

First story is teacher/student (live next to each other) and end up together. (ch 1-3) Second is uncle/nephew. (Ch 4) Third is stepbrothers who own "convenience" agency. This was... weird. And what brought down the rating. I couldn't tell if the younger brother was actually sleeping with the women. If so, it pissed me off that he was okay to go do that, but not his brother to do the same. It wasn't clear and that annoyed me. On reread I want to add victim blaming to that bullshit. Stick to the first two stories, which are good.

First two were good. Teacher/student, which I almost got annoyed with. I get really tired of the high and mighty "not while you're a student" because frankly, if you're really in love, I have trouble believing it's that fucking easy. I get it, it's dangerous and the kids' studies are important, but 1) you're a teacher. Teach him. and 2) If you're careful, it can be done. Ugh. But, the teacher really showed a struggle for this and that made a *huge* difference to me. Second story is step-brothers. Student from 1st story's best friend. Been in love for a while, so was step-brother and they eventually got it going. HEA Third story, with co-workers, just nope. I hate that kind of pissed-off-constantly person. He had a good reason to feel that way, but there was no resolution to his inferiority complex. On top of that, it seemed like the guy who said he admired him... didn't really, except for thinking he was cute? Yeah. Not really. Fourth story: barbershop, which was... weird? Epilogue with teacher/student with adorable jealousy from teacher.
