In high school, Katsumi harshly rejected his best friend Maki’s confession. Now, ten years later they reunite and Maki finds that Katsumi’s regrets from that time have caused him to seek out violent sex as a way of punishing himself. Maki can’t help but intervene and tries to help Katsumi forgive himself. I love the aspect of the one who was rejected not having trauma, but gently seeking to heal his friend. Though it’s sad, it’s still a sweet and gentle love. Side story about a city boy who moves to the country and the neighbor boy who takes care of him finding love.

Gael is a knight who is determined to become a paladin, but to do so, he has to offer a pure and undefiled body to God. Meanwhile, Elcielas is an elf who has been sent on a quest to save the king, and with his escorts dead and no working knowledge of human society, he needs some help, so when Gael saves him, he recruits Gael to help save the kingdom. Elcielas is so cute and funny, and his love for Gael is so wholesome. This is my favorite fantasy yaoi, highly recommend. Trigger warnings: violence.

Ch.1-3 - In this sequel to The Pure Knight's Shining Journey, Gael and Elcielas have saved the kingdom and are headed home, but although Elcielas is making his feelings quite clear, Gael isn't sure how he feels. No trigger warnings. Ch.4-6 - Side character Verna Bo comes to the elf forest on an errand from Gael and meets Fiyor, a blind elf whom the spirits love who instantly captivates him. Though Fiyor tries to maintain his distance due to the loss of his friend who left for the human world long ago, it gradually becomes clear that he and Verna are bound by something. Trigger warnings: mention of statutory rape/child grooming.

Sei and Uito have been best friends since preschool, and now they're boyfriends and madly in love. This slice of life story shows some of their steamy moments between exams, going on a graduation trip, and eventually graduating and going to college. They are one of my favorite couples of all time and so sweet and fluffy, I highly recommend. Ch.6 features the side couple Niko and Yoruhiro, the owner of a bar where Sei and Uito are working and his jealous lover who can't stand another couple who thinks they love each other more. NOTE: the extra in chapter 6.5 has the little sister sneak a peek at her brother having sex, which a lot of people really don't like. I get it, but the rest of the story is so cute that I really suggest if that bothers you, just skip that chapter, don't miss out on the rest. Trigger warning: voyuerism

Very cute and worth the read. Trigger warning: sleep kiss.

But the more the three of them hang out, the harder it gets for Sanjou to read Tsubame's blog as he realizes his own feelings. Interesting and well-developed characters.
