Yume no Kuni in My Darling
I liked the first two quite a bit. First (1-2) Is high school classmates who become lovers. Really enjoyed that one. (5/5) Second (3-5.5) is okay but not as good (3/5) with the PE teacher and the former student. I didn't like that the student got ignored and that was left unaddressed. Also while the teacher got better, it still seemed unresolved. Third--yakuza and host irritated me because he finally gets the guy to break down and accept him, then leaves him after all. :/ 3/5 (Total rounded down)

Boulange no Koibito
Tonde Hi Ni Iru Natsu No Neko
Wish I hadn't waited so long to read this. So much fun and great stories. 1st story is author (spider spirit, no spider form!) and reporter (twin-tailed cat). BDSM and a great story. 2nd story is the snake and three-tailed fox (gov't employee) who tames him. :) 3rd is the bar "master" and his black cat. :)
Turning Point (yaoi)
Seinen Hakkaten
Oh this was wonderful! So sweet and good. I loved these two! It hit me a little when the older one basically ran away (briefly, not for long) but it's understandable. I'm really really happy with how it worked out, though! Definite reread!!
Yakedo to Tsumeato
Spinoff to せいねん はっかてん With the nephew and his boyfriend. Okay, so, I understand there's a third volume. If it's about the author and editor from this story, then that's cool. That will change my review for this one. I wasn't very happy with where this one left off. I like the story, but 1) pissed off. Really. 2) Koga never once thought he might, MAYBE, have been in the wrong. The super-moralistic stuff realllllly irritates me and it by itself brought down the rating by a star. Also, Koga said something about wanting to change but never did anything *to* change. Not cool. If the next volume shows some growth, then I'll be happy to update the rating here. After enjoying the first story so much, this is a disappointment.
