Toma is an adult man who helps his grandpa with his work as landlord of a complex, and lately that has meant waking up his tenant, Kaoru, who never gets up in the morning without Toma's help. Kaoru eventually suggests a physical relationship to Toma, but Toma isn't interested in something so shallow as "fuck buddies" after having his heart broken in the past. Pretty good, but the ex just didn't make any sense as a character so he kind of took me out of the story. Trigger warnings: dubcon, homophobia, lying/manipulation, cheating.

After a terrible breakup with her boyfriend, college student Akane gets into a fight with a guy in her guild in an online game, only to run into him at an event shortly after. The guy, Yamada, is a high schooler, a famous FPS player, and a casual member of her guild who seems uninterested in everything and is often misunderstood due to his poor word choice. But the two become friends! A slice of life about Akane dealing with her breakup, making friends, and falling in love. It was really cute, but I felt like it had pretty much come together by ep. 44 and stoped reading. Trigger warning: cheating.

Jiro is a beauty school student who one day finds young rich boy Tooru apparently drowning and shouting Jiro's name! Turns out, Tooru's dog is also named Jiro, and the two become friends with Tooru quickly falling for Jiro, though Jiro has never thought of a homosexual relationship before. No trigger warnings

But when Yoshio calls him a good boy for helping out, Subaru abruptly falls head over heels, and now he's determined to make a relationship happen with Yoshio. Honestly not my favorite couple as it feels borderline abusive, but I do like seeing older men in yaoi. Trigger warning: domestic violence(comical)

Very cute, classic tsundere. No trigger warnings. Ch.3 - Sweet Trip Homestay Happenings - Akihisa has severe social anxiety, so his family sends him on a study abroad to Australia to get over it. There he meets Lucas, the son of his host family, who speaks some Japanese but only seems to tease him. But when he pushes Lucas away and gets into trouble, Lucas is still there to save the day, so maybe Lucas cares, after all? Cute enough, but didn't stick out to me. No trigger warnings.
