Arata Hasumi is a shy boy making his college debut thanks to encouragement from his online friend, Yukino-chan. Arata is really excited to meet the sweet and kind girl he's befriended, only to find out "she" is actually the upperclassman Hiroki Yukino, a very cool and smooth boy. Still, Hiroki is kind to Arata and invites him into the outdoors club, but as the two get closer, Arata realizes that his feelings for "Yukino-chan" the girl have only gotten stronger since meeting Hiroki the man. But when he tries to get closer, the kind and friendly Hiroki suddenly draws a very clear line between them. Trigger warning: mention of cheating.

Haiga Yuuki is a university student who just joined the music club where he first saw Kanae Ryou, an extremely charasmatic headliner for the biggest band on campus, the Cigars. Haiga wants to get closer to Kanae, but rarely sees him on campus. But when he's given money by friends in the club jokingly for the purpose of going to a gay sex shop, Haiga decides to go through with it to explore his own sexuality, and runs into Kanae working at the shop he chose by chance. He ends up frequenting the shop so he can see Kanae and spending all his time earning money to fund it, while Kanae says Haiga's not his type. But when they go to a camp for their club, the two finally get the chance to get closer and decide what they feel for each other. I like Kanae's character design, and the relationship is well-done. Trigger warning: sex work.

Ch.1-2 - The Pure Merman - The merman Sango has it rough working as a human to help provide for his siblings, especially since mermaids can never lie, or they'll turn into foam. After being demoted again, Sango ends up working for the president Minami, who quickly learns that Sango is a mermaid and can't lie and becomes enamored of his honest way of life. Cute and comedic. Trigger warning: cheating. Ch.3 - Hercules? Hercules! - Hercules is a Hercules beetle who just wants to comfort and help Keita, the human who cares for him and his other bugs so well that it keeps interfering with his relationship. The bug god gives Hercules the chance, transforming him into a human and tasking him with teaching Keita how to be considerate of others. Should he succeed, he can stay a human with Keita, but if he fails, it's back to bug life for him. An odd premise, but Hercules is very cute and sweet. No trigger warnings. Ch.4-5 - The White Snake and the Prince - The white snake Shiro has been kicked out of the forest by other animals who don't like his strange coloring. He's sad, but that's when he runs into Ohji, a human who tells him he was searching for the beautiful white snake to keep him from being captured by humans who want to put him in a shrine. But Shiro is so happy to have found his "prince," he takes human form and offers to be the god of the shrine! Also very cute. Trigger warning: kidnapping. Ch.6 - Busted! The Ombudsman Club - Hazuki, the sudent council president, is trying to disband the ombudsman club, which is really a ghost fighting club led by his childhood friend Mei. Hazuki says it's because they just mess around and no one knows what they do, but really, he's worried Mei is putting himself in harm's way fighting ghosts. But when Hazuki follows to see what the club does, he ends up getting in harm's way, himself. Trigger warning: mention of murder, mention of suicide. Ch.7 -Shall We Study? - Nozomi has been accepted to a prestigious cram school, so he goes to check it out. But while being guided by Kurogawa, he finds every classroom to be some kind of boy love fantasy between the teachers and students and gets totally freaked out. He finally says he'd only stay if Kurogawa could be his teacher, but to his surprise, Kurogawa says that could be arranged. This one is weird and felt like it was missing some supernatural element that never got explained. Trigger warning: power dynamic (teacher/student), noncon. Ch.8 - Found Love With You - Shino is a student who just can't remember things he doesn't care about and Yamato is his best friend. The only problem is, Shino is feeling awkward ever since he kissed Yamato and told him he forgot about it the next day, while Yamato seems to suddenly hate him! No trigger warnings.

Ch.1 - The Circle - Tachikawa's biggest rival in the fighting club is Furuda, who refuses to join!

Ch.2 - The Box - After Andou's longtime love(Tachikawa, above) ended in heartbreak, he feels like moping around, but he doesn't have any time for it since now the very tall student Higa is following him everywhere and trying to date him. Andou says he's not interested, but Higa says that Andou is the type to be loved more than love others, so he should just let Higa love him. Trigger warnings: rape, bondage. Ch.3-6 - Blood Hope - Hisae is an ordinary middle-aged man who accidentally summoned the demon Hakuo one day.
