27-ji Ni Koi Wo Sasayaite
Some funny, a LOT seemed like not quite real endings? Good, but not necessarily a reread.
binetsu shukan
Not sure if it's the translation or the original writing, but some of it seemed to be a bit... choppy. I liked the story, overall. First 5 chapters are one couple (businessmen and coworkers), the sixth is a different couple (childhood friends). Some long-term unrequited love there too. Overall, despite the choppiness, it's good.
Aibou No Jouken
O.M.G. Ring exchange at the end! *dies happy* Baseball player (Daisuke) and his boyfriend (Yuzuru) in HS separate because D's mother asked Y to leave D because "two guys" would cause problems for D if he went pro. Meet again years later and they're both still in love. D is divorcing so they end up together.
Hitorijime Theory
Series of shorts of college friends, one with the assistant professor and his friend, then one with businessmen (the one who's always taking care of the other). Very enjoyable.

Tadaima Renai Kenshuuchuu!
Not TOO bad. I liked the ones with the brothers, but the first two were kind of annoying. Sorry, but forbidding office romances doesn't suddenly mean the employees are going to be more productive. *eyeroll* That annoyed me so much I had trouble enjoying it. The second, with the director and childhood friend just didn't sit well. Sorry, don't just decide to bully without an explanation. *sigh* *eyeroll* The three with the three brothers was much better (and what brought it up to 4/5). Typical yaoi version of bdsm, but not bad. Dunno if it's a reread, but it's not bad. :)
Unsuccessful Romance
Not bad. I didn't like the ambiguous ending, though the "who said it was a game" made me think it's likely they reciprocate feelings. Still, I didn't like the subordinate's attitude much (and, well, the boss is actually something of an ass too, so...). Probably not a reread.
Noru ka Soru ka
It was good. I'm not sure if it was one I'll reread a lot, but it's good for a reread. I really liked to see Houjou's parents accepting of them. That was really good. And I was glad to see Minami finally accept Houjou's parents' reaction. I really thought he wasn't going to. The moving in thing bugged me though. I mean it seemed like he was just looking for excuses not to. HR isn't going to say a single word about their address and that they're sharing and no one else needs to know unless they say something. I feel like that could have been brought up. So, Houjou came up with a great solution--a neighboring apartment--and Minami STILL freaked out. I don't see why best friends WOULDN'T live near each other (even if they're not lovers). That didn't make a lot of sense and I would have liked to see that worked out in the end. It seemed like Minami accepted it (don't forget to bring over the soba) but it still seems like he's resisting ridiculously. Overall, good story, but I still think there was room for improvement.
