Shin is a winged messenger meant to serve the gods of the surrounding mountains, but he's constantly getting into fights due to his small wings. The main god then assigns him to a minor god on the most distant mountain, Mountain #32, and Shin meets the kind fluffball he will serve, who he names Baku. He and Baku get closer as he learns that Baku can transform into a human and that he eats the polluting miasma that would taint or kill others, but Shin can't help but feel he's forgetting something, while Baku worries that he's not worthy to be Shin's god after all. Very cute, although I felt like the explanation for Shin's missing memories was a bit forced. Trigger warning: bullying.

Alphonse is a dragonoid with a strong sense of justice that got him transferred into the Special Prevention Office Against Vermin, where his new partner, Dante, is an unabashed slut with super hearing. The two make a great team, but as they start to get close enough to start a relationship, figures from Dante's complicated past reemerge threatening a dire confrontation. A really good action BL in which I love the characters and the story is interesting. I would read slice of life about these two all day long, so I highly recommend it. Trigger warnings: noncon (aphrodisiac effect), child abuse, racism, violence.

Kairi is an ordinary school boy until one day he comes home to find a demon in his room who announces that Kairi belongs to him due to a contract made in a previous life and pounces on him. Now Kairi has a jealous, high-maintenance (male) demon as his wife, and while it's not all bad, he can't help but worry that Raj is in love with his past life, not him. This one has interesting characters and a good setup but it fumbles a bit at the last moment to rush into a happy ending without really resolving the interesting conflicts that it had built up. Still a solid read with a sexy demon though. Trigger warning: statutory rape (probably).

Anzu is a normal office worker with one special ability, which is that she can read minds. Toma is her stone-faced coworker whose thoughts are absolutely brimming with love and lust for her. Anzu is flattered, but she's had bad experiences in the past, so she's a little hesitant to put herself out there. But given the chance, will she go for it? Honestly, the fl is cute but fairly boring and the mind reading is just a plot device. But I like Toma as ml. Trigger warning: drunk intimacy, sombophilia (in a relationship).

Hayashida is a psychic just trying to get by in life and find the one person whose thoughts he can't read to fall in love with. He thinks he may have found the one when he realizes he can't read the thoughts of the handsome soccer club president, so he goes to watch everyday and ends up sitting beside the very loud-thinking Mori who goes to watch the club manager for her boobs. But when Hayashida gets turned down terribly by the club president, will the straightforward Mori be the one to turn things around? A cute, fast read. Trigger warning: homophobia, forced outing.

Ch.1-4.1 - The lazy Demon King Val just can't be bothered to do anything, and his faithful servant Rudy hates it because he wants to get the respect he deserves. In in effort to stir up Val's desires, Rudy suggests he bring in a nightly attendant, but Val says he can't be bothered to find someone and suggests Rudy do it, which pushes Rudy over the edge and he tops Val. But the next day, Rudy has run away and Val has no idea why and no desire to do all the things Val did to keep the kingdom running, so he's off to track Rudy down. These two are cute enough and I really like the character design for the demon king. No trigger warnings. Ch.4.2 - Aoi and Takuma are fashion students in university who worked together last year for the annual fashion show, and that's why Aoi knows how impossible Takuma's designs are to work with. He's desperate not to go through that again, but Takuma has already fallen for Aoi and is determined to win him over and be his partner in everything. Short and sweet. No trigger warnings.

Ch.1-2 Demon Whisper - The priest Father Marlowe picked up a teenager with horns who insisted he wasn't a demon named Raoul. Now the two live together, but Raoul is starting to have painful fits at night and Marlowe has no idea how to help. When the two finally sleep together and Raoul perks up, they both have to face the facts that Raoul is an incubus. This leaves Marlowe unsure about his own feelings, and meanwhile, Raoul's brother is here to take him back to the demon realm. Trigger warnings: groping, statutory rape. Ch.3 Muda Na Koto Shinashyo - Hagino is a young student teacher in charge of his first class, but on his way to the school, a stranger confesses his love for Hagino, and Hagino punches him. Turns out that stranger was Sawatari, a student in his class, and now he's pursuing Hagino relentlessly, much to Hagino's displeasure. Trigger warnings: statutory rape, dubcon. Ch.4 Before Winter Comes - Tomono and Yuba were friends in high school until Yuba confessed his love for Tomono shortly before graduation and told him to think about it. Now in college, Tomono still feels weird interacting with Yuba and his barely been replying to his messages. He still hasn't responded to the last message that asked Tomono to visit before the winter came, but winter is here, and suddenly Yuba's phone isn't connecting. When Tomono realizes that he may have lost his chance by dragging his feet, that gives him the push he needs. No trigger warnings. Ch.5 Demon Secret - Spin off of the first story featuring Raoul's brother, Baldur, and an incubus he's involved with Zahan who disappeared without a word for a century but turned up claiming he did it to get a rare artifact so he could propose to Baldur. But is that really the reason? I think this one is very cute and funny. Trigger warning: cheating.

Waragaki is an exhausted office worker, and Kugii is his subordinate who is always brushing things off his shoulder for some reason. But when Waragaki ends up at Kugii's house to get out of the rain and wakes up snuggled together and half-naked the next morning, he finds out that Kugii comes from a family of exorcists and Waragaki is haunted. The two grow closer together as Kugii tries to help him exorcise the ghost, but when Waragaki drunkenly comes onto Kugii, he fears he's ruined everything between them. This story is really good and I love the characters and art, but I feel like it fumbled at the last second by trying too hard for a happy ending. Still very good. Trigger warnings: noncon (light), cheating.

Hachi is proud of his grandpa who worked at New World Zoo, a zoo for otherworldly creatures, and eager to follow in his footsteps, but when he gets there on his first day, his strict trainer Takuma tells him he's not cut out for it. He gets attacked by a mandrake, a mermaid, adopts an angel, and eventually comes to learn Takuma's background and the surprising connection between them. A lot of smut, some good actual story. I like Takuma as the seme a lot. Trigger warning: rape, noncon, mild incest themes.

Kanata and Kuro are childhood friends bound by a strange village tradition in which the firstborn of their respective families are symbolically married once per year, and this is their first time. While Kanata doesn't mind this situation as long as it's with Kuro, Kuro doesn't believe in the tradition and Kanata worries Kuro doesn't like him as much as he likes Kuro. Also includes the story of (I think?) their parents, and a follow-up where a an outsider from the village tries to win over Kanata. No trigger warnings.
