(Ch.1-3) A beta deliveryman stumbled upon an omega client in heat, leading to a relationship between them. Cute and short, it's a fun beta/omega romance. No trigger warnings. (Ch.4-6) A loan shark with a sixth sense and his partner who likes him but has a secret. This one is both a little gross and confusing. I would not read again. Trigger warnings: Dubcon, gangrape, hypnosis.

High-schooler Nanao has been raised all his life to be a sacrifice to the local god, Daja, as per his family's agreement. But when the time comes, Daja is not interested, despite Nanao's every effort, claiming that, among other things, Nanao won't taste good since his soul has no greed/desires. Nanao won't leave though, so they end up living together while Nanao tries to convince Daja to eat him, and Daja tries to get Nanao to leave him alone. I like Daja a lot as he's visually quite different from most semes, and Nanao is very funny. Trigger warning: spiked drink (aphrodisiac).

Sei is a sheltered child who is treated as a living god due to his inherited ability to turn into a white snake, but he's tired of being stuck in his house and sneaks out as a snake where he's picked up by snake-lover Murasaki. Once Murasaki finds out Sei is a snake he wants to study and learn more about him, while Sei desperately wants a friend, so Murasaki helps Sei get permission to go outside from his overbearing family and has him spend the night and accompany him to college. But when another student starts to get close to Sei as well, both of them reevaluate their relationship as friends. Sei is very cute and sweet, and I like how much his family loves him. No trigger warnings.

Chiaki is lonely after the grandfather who raised him died. Fortunately, that's when Benio the oni and Yue the snake spirit both arrive announcing it's time for him to fulfill his promise to marry each of them. The two begin fighting over him, and although Chiaki is surprised, he ends up enjoying the new lively atmosphere so much, he can't begin to choose between them. This one is more smut than story. ️Trigger warning: noncon, attempted rape.

MC has to have sex to keep the serpent goddess from taking her over.

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.

Taesun was raised by his grandfather, who taught him not to mourn death as it's a natural part of life, but as an adult, when his grandfather falls ill, Taesun wants to do everything in his power to save him. He's working for the money to keep his grandpa in the hospital when he ends up on a mountain and saves a cold snake. The snake, Geumryang, follows him home and reveals himself as the god of the mountain and says fate bought them together and he wants Taesung to bear his child, offering to grant a wish in return. Taseung wants to save his grandfather under his own power, but he ends up agreeing to Geumryang's terms, and the two begin their relationship. Trigger warning: noncon (somnophilia, aphrodisiac)

Ch.1 - More than a Play Bite - When Takumi was a child, he was rescued when he fell in the river by a wolf beastman who lives nearby called Professor. Now in university, Takumi finds himself wanting more from their relationship, but Professor still treats him like a child. When Takumi finds out that beastmen play bite their lovers, he becomes determined to overcome the gentle care Professor shows for him and get him to mark him. But Professor is scared to hurt the little boy he watched grow up. This one isn't my favorite, but it's fine if you're into age gap stuff. No trigger warnings. Ch.2 - Catch the Goddess by the Tail - Shunsuke is a leopard beastman in the track club as his university who has a cocky underclassman, Aihachi, who always says the goddess of victory is on his side. Before a big race, Aihachi always calls Shunsuke over to cook for him and they end up sleeping together, and Shunsuke isn't sure why he goes along with it, except that he loves to see Aihachi run. But when Aihachi gets even bigger wins, Shunsuke starts to feel that Aihachi doesn't need him anymore, not realizing that Shunsuke has been his goddess of victory all along. The story is fine, but mostly I really like this one for Shunsuke, who does a great job of being nonchalant but also completely not in touch of his feelings. No trigger warnings. Ch.3-4 - The Sweetest Bite in the World - Mikuni is a snake beastman who was always made fun of until his recent molt, which has made him not only beautiful but unresistible due to his pheromones. With hordes chasing after him every day, the only one Mikuni really wants to notice him is Nachi, a half-lion beastman who protected him when they were children, but Nachi seems unaffected. Mikuni is desperate to get Nachi's attention, even going so far as to bite him with aphrodisiac venom, not knowing that Nachi has only been looking at him all along. Trigger warning: aphrodisiac, attempted rape. Ch.4.5 - More Than a Play Bite Extra - This extra is very cute, and includes all the previous couples going to consult with Dr. Mikami, a snake beastman, and his human assistant. It's fun to see the couples again and get a deeper look into how their relationships progressed, but honestly, Mikami and his assistant are my favorite couple in the entire volume. I love them and wish there was more. No trigger warnings.
