Masami works at a club where subs can get release, and he looks down on them for wanting to be stepped on and controlled. But when transfer student Yusei warns him that he needs to take medicine to suppress his own sub pheromones, Masami refuses to accept it, even when his body can't help but obey Yusei's commands. The story of a sub with trauma about his nature coming to terms with it. Trigger warning: dubcon.

Kikuma(S) is a delinquent, but it turns out the reason why is his unfulfilled sub nature.

The beginning of their relationship is questionable, but it's very cute by the end. Trigger warnings: noncon, S&M, strangulation.

Saika Ayato has the psychic ability to hear other people's thoughts, including those of the delinquent student Yamada Ishin, who is really just a big puppy with a crush on Saika. Saika originally started talking to Yamada just because Yamada was so desperate for friends, but when Saika's brother gets involved trying to pull them apart, it forces Saika to decide how much this relationship means to him. Very cute, good pacing. No trigger warnings.

Satori Shin has no idea why he's suddenly gained the ability to read minds when he touches another person, but he finds it hilarious when his ability shows him the true thoughts of his classmate Asaba Yoshiki who always picks fights with him but secretly likes him a lot. But when he realizes how serious Asaba's feelings are, he feels bad and decides the only thing to do is tell the truth! But once that's all out in the open, how will they handle Satori's changing abilities? A decent mind-reading story. No trigger warnings.

He thinks he may have found the one when he realizes he can't read the thoughts of the handsome soccer club president, so he goes to watch everyday and ends up sitting beside the very loud-thinking Mori who goes to watch the club manager for her boobs. But when Hayashida gets turned down terribly by the club president, will the straightforward Mori be the one to turn things around? A cute, fast read. Trigger warning: homophobia, forced outing.

Only problem is, he almost never hears Aoyama's thoughts, until one day he finds out Aoyama has never had his first kiss. In attempting to use this against him, Haruta ends up getting roped into teaching Aoyama about kissing, and then much more. No trigger warnings.

Ch.1-2, 6.5 - 5 Seconds - Hayato has special eyes that have been passed down in his family. For him, this means that when he meets eyes with someone for five seconds he can copy their "sensuality," so he uses his friends to help him jerk off. The one person he won't use is his childhood friend, Tsukasa, who he's tried to avoid since he realized his ability, but Tsukasa is too sharp not to notice, and when Hayato accidentally copies some eyes he shouldn't have and goes into heat, only Tsukasa can help him. A kind of random and unexpected setup, but I liked the characters well enough. Trigger warning: dubcon(heat). Ch.3 - The Way to Nurture Love - Keiichirou is a normal working man who got dragged to a gay bar and told to pick his type, so he randomly pointed to a worker, but when they turned around he saw it was actually his long lost twin brother, Yuuichirou. Yuu seems to be living life as a woman now, and Kei isn't sure he approves, but he can't help but worry, so he invites Yuu to live with him. But the longer they live together, the more the feelings from their past that forced Yuu to leave seem to reemerge. I liked it, but it is an incest story, so don't read if that's not your thing. Note: I don't think Yuu identifies as a woman, so if you're looking for trans characters, he won't really fit the bill. Trigger warnings: incest, transphobia(?). Ch.4 - Too - An unnamed protagonist (Nameless-kun) lives an ordinary college life, except for the fact that he has a stalker following him every day, buying and wearing all the same clothes as him, and putting not-so-secret cameras in his apartment, which is especially weird since he's a nobody and his stalker, Kudou, is quite popular. Nameless-kun doesn't see it as causing any harm though, so he lets it go until one day Kudou seems to stop dressing like him, causing Nameless-kun to wonder if his affections have changed, and that's when he realizes just how much he's been watching Kudou in turn. I'm not really into stalker romances, but this one was fine for what it was. Trigger warning: stalking. Ch.5 - Itai no, Itai no - Rei spends every day at high school breaking up fights between his childhood friends, Takuma, and Shinobu, who are at each other's throats over everything but insist on spending time together because of Rei. But Rei knows that secretly, the two are in a physical relationship fueled by their shared masochism. Rei has trauma to do with pain that has caused him to develop a masochistic streak too, so he wants in on this. Not my thing. Trigger warnings: masochism, suicide, voyuerism, violence, violent sex. Ch.6 - Mushuusei no Ohisama - Aki and Asahi were friends in high school when Asahi said he'd become the best actor ever and Aki promised to be the one to shoot it on film. Now, years later, Asahi seems to have given up on his dream and only works in the porn industry, but Aki is still determined to capture the best of him. But when they fight, Aki decides to rape Asahi on camera to show him all the faces he hasn't seen yet. Or something. I wasn't really paying attention because I don't like rape stories. Trigger warnings: sex work, rape.
