Haebeom is just a sushi restaurant owner who happens to look like a gangster, but after one of his few regulars, Sang-Ah, steps in to help with a rowdy customer, the two get to know each other better and Sang-Ah invites Haebeom to his show at the aquarium where Haebeom learns that Sang-Ah is a mermaid (which this world just has). But after the show Haebeom finds what seems to be another worker forcing himself on Sang-Ah and chases him off, only to learn that Sang-Ah needs to take in human saliva once a day to transform his tail into legs. Haebeom offers to give Sang-Ah the daily kiss, and the two quickly get closer, but just when they finally go all the way, Sang-Ah pulls away without telling Haebeom why. I love Sang-Ah's visuals so much, they make the whole story for me. Trigger warnings: noncon, kidnapping.

Jun-kun gets called out by the older, working man Fumitaka after putting on a BDSM show at his workplace. Supposed "Super-M" Fumitaka asks Jun to be his queen, and Jun reluctantly agrees, but it's not so straightforward as Jun has an unhealthy relationship between himself and sex, and Fumitaka has his own sadistic side that he keeps hidden from Jun. Further complications arise when Jun's brother and the source of his trauma appears, causing him to confront his past. Trigger warnings: S&M, bondage, incest (not blood related), non-con.

Tamao is a prostitute in post-war Japan, but one day while totally smashed, he thinks he sees his dead lover returned to him! When he wakes up, he later finds it was actually his lover's younger brother Gorou, who has come to find him and declare his love. Though Tamao is hesitant, Gorou takes him up on the challenge to "make me fall in love with you," and starts coming to Tamao's part of town every day until he's won over. Tamao is beautiful and believable, and his story is heartbreaking. Trigger warnings: sex work, rape, violence/gore.

Ch.1-4, 6 - If the Shoe Fits: Yota is a shoe store manager who loves shoes so much, he's envisioned his perfect pair of legs to wear them. Imagine his surprise when those perfect legs actually exist, and they belong to his male part-timer, Chika. He loses his cool and makes a move on Chika, and Chika is all for going forward, but Yota worries he likes Chika's legs but not Chika himself. Trigger warning: power dynamic, noncon bondage. Ch.5 - First Love Again - Yuma's first love, Ritsuka, moved overseas, but now he's back in Yuma's class, and Yuma fell in love at first sight yet again! Yuma can't keep his fantasies under control, and when Ritsuka gets groped in front of him on a train, it really pushes him over the edge. Trigger warnings: noncon (train groper).
