(Ch.1-2) Subaru is a lower ranking ninja who hasn't been cleared for missions, but it's finally time, and he's been given the mission to seduce a target, with his training coming directly from the boss Yuuzuki. But as he and the boss train in the art of love, Subaru realizes that he doesn't want to do these things with any other man. The second chapter has them trying cosplay sex. Trigger warning: feels like statutory rape. (Ch.3-4) Asagi and Hiiragi are ninja partners on a mission, but while Asagi is loyal to the mission, Hiiragi insists he's loyal to Asagi. When Hiiragi is injured during the mission, Asagi realizes his real feelings run deeper, and the two cross the line. No trigger warnings (Ch.5-6) Futaba was hiking in the snow and slipped, and next thing he knows, he woke up in bed naked with a "snow man." The snow spirit Miyuki saved Futaba's life by sleeping with him, transforming him into a snow spirit that can no longer feel cold, and at first Futaba is troubled by both the fact that Miyuki slept with him and his new life, but he starts to think it might not be so bad to stay beside Miyuki. The next chapter shows their "long distance" relationship struggles during the summer months. Trigger warning: rape/somnophilia (not shown).

Benimaru is a ninja who was about to die when young lord Shinosuke gave him a reason to go on, so now he stalks Shinosuke to repay him. When Shinosuke finds out about Benimaru he's very accepting, but soon Benimaru thinks he has to return to his village to protect Shinosuke, and he asks for one night together to remember him by. When Benimaru turns out to stay the next day, it leaves Shinosuke thinking about what he wants their relationship to be from there. I love Shinosuke's extremely supportive dad. Trigger warnings: stalking, drug(aphrodisiac).

Kaoru has terrible luck with men, but when he meets his boss's younger brother Shinobu, he's sure he's met the one. Meanwhile, Shinobu is a ninja enthusiast in Japan to work at an amusement park themed after his favorite ninja anime, but he loses his job for saving a kid somewhat dangerously and ends up working at his sister's security agency as a bodyguard instead. Kaoru is a bit strange in how he shows his affection, but as they spend more time together, it starts to grow on Shinobu, and when Kaoru winds up in trouble, Shinobu is determined to find out what he's hiding and save him. Cute story. Trigger warnings: stalking, attempted suicide, extortion.

Kagemaru is a ninja who was sent to kill the castle lord, Enji, but after meeting him he switched sides and fell in love. Enji's retainers aren't sure of Kagemaru's loyalty, but Enji himself is more than sure - in fact, he wants Kagemaru to be more than just a bodyguard. Smutty story with a fun historical setting. Trigger warning: dubcon.

Ayame lives in a ninja village but sucks at being a ninja, and her one solace is watching her secret love, the future village chief, Shoma. But when she hears he's getting married, she decides she needs to step it up and move on with her life, so she asks to learn seduction techniques so she can work as a ninja. To her surprise, Shoma herself is her teacher on the night of, and the next day, he asks her to marry him! Ayame is under the impression Shoma loved someone else so he was forced to marry her, but really he's been in love with Ayame for a long time. Had some cute moments, but honestly, Shoma is a red flag. I lost interest and stopped reading around chapter 30.
