Nagatora is a host for the money, but the women stress him out! So when his longtime hairdresser, Reina, offers to help him destress with drinks, he goes all out lets himself get taken in by Reina’s maneater side. But even though Reina’s not the type for commitment and Nagatora isn’t gay, they both find that they keep coming back. So what is this, exactly? Some fun character development for both and really pretty art, so it makes for a good read. Trigger warning: drunk sex.

When Mamoru was in 6th grade, his longtime best friend Kana confessed to him, and Mamoru panicked and broke his heart with cruel words, only to have Kana move away the next day leaving him regretting it ever since. Now in high school, Mamoru has moved to the city to live in a dorm for the first time hoping to meet Kana, and to his great fortune, his roommate turns out to be Kana. Kana falls right back into the rhythm of taking care of Mamoru, and everything is great between them until Kana kisses Mamoru during their first night together and refuses to acknowledge it or listen to Mamoru's apology.

A sweet story with realistic emotions. Trigger warning: homophobia.

In a world where basilisks and cockatrices secretly live among humans, an innocent cockatrice named Sora is sent to a school full of basilisks on a secret mission to get close to the student council president, Rin, but he immediately forgets his mission and falls in love with Rin's delinquent brother, Kai, instead. It was a bit chaotic and wacky, but I liked what I read of it. Still, I only read through chapter 5 because it felt like a good stopping point. Trigger warnings: violence, abduction.

Tsuwabuki is a lion dog, illegitimate son to the head of the wolf family, and he's always been treated badly by his family.

Tsuwabuki believes he's not worthy to be Shuro's bride, but it turns out Tsuwabuki was who Shuro wanted all along. I wasn't totally satisfied with the ending, but it was still a decent read. Trigger warnings: child abuse, attempted murder.

But when Seiichi won't cross the line with him even when they're spending the night together in a hotel, some secrets are going to have to come out. Super cute and fun. No trigger warnings

But Akito assumes that love extends to lust and just immediately sleeps with Toma, so they also become friends with benefits while Toma is helping him. Interesting characters, I like it so far. Trigger warning: dubcon.
