Ch.1-2 - Hiyodori is an orphan who was raised in a brothel, and even though he's an adult now, he's been sheltered by the workers and is hopelessly innocent. Enter the handsome sea captain Shyougetsu, a friend of the owner who first found Hiyodori, who says he'll step up to teach Hiyodori about what it means to be an adult (sexually), leading Hiyodori to fall in love. It's short and sweet if you're into the very young, feminine type of uke, but they really did depict Hiyodori as just too childlike for my comfort. Trigger warning: feels like statutory rape. Ch.3-5 - Jan is a vampire who was caught by the part werewolf priest, Asu, and though he hates being fed blood packs instead of fresh blood, he's come to enjoy the physical aspects of their relationship. But when the father figure who raised them both (separately?) and formerly was Jan's lover returns, they have to prove their relationship. Weird stuff, not my cup of tea. Trigger warning: pedophilia.

Ch.1-3 - Nicholas is a young noble who has always been taken care of by his butler, Eim. But when Eim crosses the line then tries to run away, Nicholas has to figure out what he feels in time to chase after Eim. Then, when Eim is happily pursuing his new dream as a playwright, Nicholas is left trying to figure out what place he still has in Eim's life. This couple was fine but didn't particularly grab me. Trigger warning: noncon Ch.4 - Liin is an up and coming knight in training, but when he hears rumors that his mentor, Professor Klein, gives students "punishments" of a sexual nature, he takes it upon himself to warn Klein to knock it off, causing him to become Klein's next victim. Trigger warning: rape. Ch.5 - Mitsuki is a student at a school where Kagashima is planting a garden (I think. Honestly, I had a bit of a hard time parsing this one,) and he goes to watch Kagashima every day while thinking about how he wishes that he were one of the flowers that Kagashima loves so ardently and possessively. So when he finally sees Kagashima kiss another man, Mitsuki decides to throw everything away to get one moment with Kagashima, but that's what Kagashima wanted all along. Or something. No trigger warnings.

Inusaki is just a self-proclaimed detective who's really working as more of a fix-it who happens to have the ability to talk to birds. One day, he ends up talking to a cool crow he nicknames Kuro, and before he knows it, he's fallen for a crow! When the crow rejects him, his landlady' son, Mitsuru, ends up checking on him, and soon his feelings shift to the cute high schooler Mitsuru who he's sure has a girlfriend already. But Mitsuru has a secret of his own. Cute. No trigger warnings.

Ran is a struggling college student who enjoys her job at a cafe that her favorite author, Mikami, frequents. But when her family falls into bigger financial troubles, her friend convinces her to try a job as a sugar baby while promising she won't have to do anything she's not comfortable with. But when Mikami sees her get roofied on her first date, he intervenes and then offers to become her new sugar daddy instead, to protect her. Trigger warning: drug(roofie/aphrodisiac).

The 9-year-old young master is very interested in his student Tanaka who came from Japan, and one day when he sees Tanaka with his hair down, that interest turns to love. But it's hard to be a 9-year-old in love, especially when no one notices your feelings. Very cute. No trigger warnings.

Ayato Izumi(sub) is a gay CEO who deals with his need by meeting with strangers to "play" at night since he knows he can't get attached since he'll need to marry and have an heir one day. His new secretary, Yuma Kosaka(dom), is young and highly competent and totally Ayato's type, so when Yuma finds out about Ayato's plays and tells him it's dangerous and he should stop, Ayato says he will only if Yuma will be his partner, thinking it will scare him off. Except Yuma goes for it, and it's actually great! So great, that Ayato is starting to worry he won't be able to break things off one day like he knows he'll have to. Cute story. Trigger warning: noncon.

Shioto is a high school student under so much pressure he's started cheating, but his teacher, Mr. Takara, has noticed. Mr. Takara wants to help him turn it around, partially because he has a little crush on Shioto, but things spiral out of control when he finds Shioto sleeping in the nurse's office and can't help but touch him. He decides to suck Shioto off and let him take a picture for blackmail, thinking that will make Shioto feel safer(?), but after that Shioto can't get his teacher out of his head and his grades are suffering for it. Honestly a terrible plot, but the smut was decent so I didn't hate it. Trigger warnings: Noncon, statutory rape(?)
