Shiina(omega) is a bellboy who's always dreamed of becoming a concierge after one helped him when he was crying as a child. But omegas aren't allowed to work in this hotel, so he takes advantage of his mild symptoms to pass himself off as a beta, until he meets Toujou(alpha), the very man he admires, and goes into heat! Toujou admires Shina's dedication, so he promises to hide his gender and help him with the new symptoms of his heats, but as the two grow closer, Shina realizes that Toujou may be putting his own career in jeopardy for him. These two are adorable, if a bit cliche. It's a fun omegaverse read. Trigger warnings: light dubcon (just regular heat stuff), discrimination.

Taizo is buried in debt and thinks it'd be better to just end it all, when rich young man Kiyoto picks him up off the street and buys his debts. In return, he demands sex, though he also gets Taizo a job. Despite the significant age difference and the strange circumstances, Taizo finds himself falling for this kid struggling with his own family problems. Trigger warning: dubcon, sex work.

(Ch.1-2) Soga has his hands full tutoring a class of remedial students, especially since pretty boy Keita confesses to him every day. But when he gets fed up and takes it out on Keita, he realizes just how serious Keita was being. Trigger warnings: statutory rape, molestation, sexual harassment. (Ch.3-4) Four years ago, teacher Agi broke up with Kaiya, student at his cram school, at graduation, after which Kaiya ran away from home and disappeared from his life. Now Kaiya is back just as suddenly asking for a place to stay, and Agi can't help but want to be close to him, even though he knows it's for the best they stay broken up. No real trigger warnings, except for Kaiya's insane jealousy towards a baby.

High school teacher Haruchika lives with his former student Kiyomasa, who had a troubled upbringing that led Haruchika to offer his home if Kiyomasa was ever in need. Kiyomasa turned up years later, and they've been living together ever since. But when Haruchika's current troubled student, Asako, gets help from Kiyomasa and starts following him around, it interrupts their happy life and makes Haruchika wonder what he's really bringing to the table in this relationship. I liked that Asako was an interesting side character not just used for jealousy. No trigger warnings.

Ch.1-3, 5.5 - Hungry Rabbit and the Lovesick Wolf - Jinnou is a businessman with a scary face who has always dreamed of petting a rabbit, but they run away whenever he gets close. It's his lucky day when he finds the perfect sweet rabbit on the street and her rabbit-like caretaker, Kou lets him pet the rabbit in return for food. Turns out Kou is a starving student working at a rabbit cafe, and Jinnou is in love. Very sweet and cute, no trigger warnings. Ch.4-5 - Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing and Faithful Dog - Aisuke is living with his childhood friend Tatsurou, a huge sadist who has started sleeping with him. But although Aisuke enjoys it, what even is their relationship? Part two has Tatsurou's point of view, which I found considerably funnier. Trigger warnings: sadism, noncon.

Kanata always feels the pressure of being a big brother to his brother Keita, so he lets off steam by working in a "little brother" style sex shop where men spoil him. But when Keita finds out, it prompts the two to finally talk to each other and realize they've both been unfairly judging the other all along, reconciling. Only now that they're closer than ever, Keita has realized his feelings for his brother go deeper than normal familial relationships. Trigger warnings: sex work, attempted rape, incest.

Hideo and Tomohisa have been dating for several years now, and after doing long-distance while Tomohisa was in medical school, they're finally living together and life seems perfect. But when Hideo's family becomes increasingly pushy about him getting married, he comes out to them suddenly then gets told he's only pitying Tomohisa and begins to doubt his feelings. While they're still dealing with this, Tomohisa is offered a position in Germany, further pulling the two apart, despite their desires to be together. Honestly, this one is pretty good, but I had a hard time wrapping my head around the central conflict they were having. Also the last chapter, 8.1, is a little abrupt and upsetting for some. Trigger warning: homophobia.

Yata (nickname Hachi) let his younger childhood friend Rin put a collar on him as a game when they were young, but at that moment he awakened as a sub and his body accepted Rin as his pair. He moved away and has spent the rest of his life taking medicine and proving to himself he doesn't need to rely on anybody to survive, but now Rin is coming back into his life as a student of his at university. No trigger warnings.

Kouhei Igarashi is a terrible boss, the kind who abuses his power and talks down to his workers. Wataru Momose is his perfect subordinate who always has a scary look on his face. It turns out, that's because Momose is in love with Igarashi and gets too nervous when he talks to him, and he's also unflappably optimistic, so he takes all of Igarashi's criticisms as compliments and loves him for it. Igarashi is a truly unlikable main character, though to be fair, it is Momose who takes advantage of him while drunk. Trigger warnings: drunk sex, power imbalance.
