Minamikawa can read minds, and though she's used to tuning out all the negative thoughts, she has no defense against the constant love her seat neighbor, Takamori, radiates at her all school day long. A cute slice of life about an embarrassed mind reader and her quiet fan. No trigger warnings.

Haebeom is just a sushi restaurant owner who happens to look like a gangster, but after one of his few regulars, Sang-Ah, steps in to help with a rowdy customer, the two get to know each other better and Sang-Ah invites Haebeom to his show at the aquarium where Haebeom learns that Sang-Ah is a mermaid (which this world just has). But after the show Haebeom finds what seems to be another worker forcing himself on Sang-Ah and chases him off, only to learn that Sang-Ah needs to take in human saliva once a day to transform his tail into legs. Haebeom offers to give Sang-Ah the daily kiss, and the two quickly get closer, but just when they finally go all the way, Sang-Ah pulls away without telling Haebeom why. I love Sang-Ah's visuals so much, they make the whole story for me. Trigger warnings: noncon, kidnapping.

Tomoya loves cute and fluffy things, so when he sees first-year student Aki sneeze and briefly show dog ears on his head, he knows they have to be friends. He finds out Aki is part wolf and agrees to help him hide his ears and the two become close. But just when Tomoya takes the first step past friendship, Aki loses the ability to hide his ears at all! Cute and sweet school love story. No trigger warnings

After being kicked out by her cheating husband and cruel mother-in-law, Adeline heads back to her home village to learn that her parents have died and the village needs to offer a sacrifice to the dragon god. With nowhere else to go, Adeline offers herself, expecting to die. To her surprise, the dragon god comes for her and says they will be married if they can live together this whole month without ever once lying to each other. Trigger warnings: cheating, murder.

Chigusa is a salaryman who notices what seems to be an abandoned kitten on his way home, so he picks it up and washes it off to find it doesn't quite look like a kitten. Then, the next day, the kitten transforms into a human and he learns that the kitten, which he calls Kedama, is actually the ghost of an abandoned cat who wants to pay him back. The two begin living together and, despite Kedama's efforts often causing more trouble, Chigusa is happy. But Kedama's energy is waning, and his time might be nearly up...The main couple is fine but don't especially stand out to me. Trigger warning: animal abandonment.

Yoona is an ordinary job seeker who was summoned by the king of hell to be his new secretary. Although he chose her based mostly on her looks, she's perfect meticulous and demanding and ends up being perfect at the job. The only hiccup is that on her first night there, the demon hot springs essentially made her drunk and horny, and now she and her boss have a situationship going on. Trigger warning: drunk sex

Maika is from an onmyoji family, and on her 18th birthday, she summons the shikigami Homura to protect her, only to learn that she's supposed to sleep with him to provide her energy. Maika doesn't want to do that without love, leading to some conflict between the two. But when she finally does realize she loves him, things get even more complicated as it turns out she already has a fiance she didn't know about AND love between a human and a shikigami is taboo. Not sure exactly when this came out, but it feels very early 2000s, and the whole story moves very quickly. Trigger warning: manipulation.

After getting kicked out by her abusive husband and mother-in-law for being unable to bear children, Ume returns to her home village to learn her parents have died, and it's time for the yearly ritual to send a sacrifice to the mountain god. With nothing going for her, she offers to go in place of the girl they were going to send and meets Shoma, a wolf god with a muzzle who doesn't speak but writes things for her. He tells her that they'll have a trial marriage, and if they go one month without lying to each other, they will be wed. I like the FL, and the story is fine with decent smut, though I'm not really sure what the main conflict is yet. Trigger warnings: abuse, attempted murder.

Ryuka and Velk (a beastman) live together in Ryuka's small village ever since he found Velk wounded a year ago and took him in. Velk asked Ryuka to be his mate back then, and the two have been sleeping together ever since, but Ryuka hesitates to give Velk his heart, even so. But when it looks like Velk might lose Ryuka after all, will Ryuka have any regrets? Trigger warnings: death of family members.

Hakua is sent to take down a man-eating tiger but instead gets kidnapped himself by Youko, the descendant of tigers who married humans who can take on a human shape. Youko insists that Hakua bear him a child, and even when he learns Hakua is male, he rapes him. But after that the two live together for a while and Youko begins to understand human feelings more as Hakua comes to forgive him. But Hakua can't stay away from human society forever. Will Youko be able to give him up now that he's finally found someone who accepts him? Kind of choppy and obviously a bad start for a romance, but I liked the depiction of Youko's character growth. Trigger warning: rape, mention of cannibalism(man-tiger eating humans). Trigger warning: rape.
