Tama is an overworked hotel worker who blows off steam by volunteering at a cat cafe. Shindo is a novelist who recently lost his cat of the same name, so when he comes to the cat cafe to adopt a cat, he decides Tama(human) is the one for him. Tama is reluctantly dragged into this relationship but finds it surprisingly comfortable to be around Shindo and let himself be spoiled. But when Shindo's feelings go beyond what an owner feels for their pet, how will they both handle it? An interesting if bizarre relationship, and Tama is very cute. No trigger warnings.

Maya is in love with Kengo, but Kengo is having none of it! The older cafe owner saved university student Maya from some shady dudes and it was love at first sight for Maya, but Kengo's not looking to settle down and Maya's love seems troublesome. But after they sleep together with a strict one night stand understanding, Kengo starts to wonder if he made the right choice. Some of the dialogue was just slightly off enough that I had no idea what they meant. Still, I liked the realistic seeming struggles they both went through, and it's fun to see a big, tough bottom. No trigger warnings.

High schooler Sumito starts a written exchange in the coffee shop journal with someone who loves flowers. He assumes it must be a pretty girl, but when they meet it's actually a huge man named Kokuma. But Kokuma is just happy to have a friend, and maybe more. Cute little romance, 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).

Hana is an omega who doesn't go into heat and lives a normal life working as a barista at Starnyaks while obsessing over his favorite customer, the famous flower arranger Renjaku. But when Hana unexpectedly goes into heat, Renjaku ends up sleeping with him, despite saying Hana "stinks," and he would never pair with an omega. But this one night is the start of a connection, and Hana is getting to see Renjaku more and more, until his younger brother suddenly arrives and announces that Hana belongs to him, forcing both Hana and Renjaku to face their past traumas. Renjaku is a bit of an asshole and the brother is creepy and gross, but I actually like this one a lot. I think Hana is very cute and the main couple's relationship has really interesting growth. ️Trigger warnings: incest themes, voyuerism (involving a minor).

Miyoshi's boss Usaka is known as a demon at work, so Miyoshi is shocked to find him working at a cross dressing bunny club. Miyoshi is shocked by how cute Usaka is, so he decides to use the knowledge to blackmail his boss into getting physical. Would have been a lot cuter without the blackmail, but Usaka is adorable and I like his character design. Trigger warnings: blackmail, noncon.

Hayato and Mamiya No trigger warnings
