In a world of insect humans, Tsubasa is a gossamer-winged butterfly who is considered low class but managed to get into a high class high school by relying on the encouraging words he heard from a tarantula student, Sumiya, in a TV interview. But when he meets Sumiya, not only does Sumiya tell him he can't stand butterflies, the second time they meet he rapes him. Sumiya is not at all how Tsubasa imagined him based on the interview, but he had a surprisingly gentle side that leaves Tsubasa wanting to know more. The seme is trash so far, but the side characters are very good. No updates in a long time though. Trigger warning: bullying, rape.

Toushiro(omega) was sent to serve the foreign beastman Alex while he visits Japan, but when Alex realizes Toushiro is an omega, he becomes deeply invested in the unfair situation that Toushiro and other omegas face. He treats Toushiro humanely and gently cares for him through his heat cycles, but unfortunately it turns out that the alpha instinct has been suppressed in his species, and when it begins to come out, it can cause him to lose his control and revert into a beast. Realizing this, Alex and Toushiro both recognize they should go their separate ways, but it's difficult to let go. Trigger warnings: mention of rape, attempted rape, discrimination, mention of suicide.

Natsuki is in love with the older cafe owner he met through his father, Samejima, so he started working at the cafe and hangs around Samejima all the time. The only problem is, Samejima is a total slut, but Natsuki still can't give up. When Samejima finally gives Natsuki a chance, intending to cut things off right after, he finds they fit together really well and he can't give up, so when Natsuki starts to pull away, Samejima can't let go. Ch.5 also features a oneshot about a werewolf beastman who was helped by a human professor and wants to repay him. Trigger warning: attempted rape.

Ch.1 - Wild, Wild Wildlife - Every year the lynxmen who can't get any from the women in their tribe vent their frustrations on the nearby goatman tribe. But even though the gentle goatman Takegiri knows he should hate getting raped like this, he can't help but imagine what it would be like if he could be with the lynxman Kurohae alone. Trigger warning: gangrape. Ch.2 - Vive la Vivre - The story of a shop filled with android boys that men can choose to sleep with, and the boys offer all their life energy to the android in charge. But why does the new customer Yuuji seem to remember the adroid Kento from his past? I honestly do not know, this story was very confusing and dark. Trigger warning: gangrape, murder. Ch.3 - Steel-Grey Down - Mine foreman Olson has his hands full with the visiting nobleman, Theofias, who owns the mine. Unlike other nobles, he insists on getting down and doing the work with them, but it turns out it's because of his extreme muscle fetish, and Olson is exactly his type. But when the mine becomes a key point in an upcoming war, Olson is forced to choose between his men and this strange nobleman. This could have been a good story if given more time. Trigger warning: attempted murder. Ch.4 - Corpse Survival - When the moment came that Kandori's superior, Sumeragi, was infected with the zombie virus, Kandori didn't hesitate to cut off his head. They were able to reattach it and bring him back as an immortal being, though he'll need to constantly take medicine to keep from zombifying. Kandori feels guilty that Sumeragi has lost his humanity, and when they're trapped in a similar situation, he can't bring himself to go through with it again. Trigger warning: Lying/coercion. Ch.5 - The Pink Badass - Tsukimura is a high school student looking for the ideal man to be his idol, and he finds him in the new student teacher, Mayama. But when Mayama brings him back to his house and Tsukimura finds out he really likes cute things, he feels betrayed and lashes out. So Mayama rapes him. Trigger warnings: rape, statutory rape. Ch.6 - Takamaru Charm - On his twentieth birthday, Takamaru awakes to his family bloodline of intense charm, only he quickly finds it only works on men when he ends up with three men chasing him down, asking to be his lover. But if this is going to happen, Takamaru is going to take charge. Could have been interesting with more space and if they developed his relationship with his rival/friend more. Trigger warning: noncon, threesome. Ch.6.5 - An extra that crosses Viva la Vivre and Corpse Survival, since apparently they're in the same universe.

Yoru is a male prostitute formerly known as a famous dancer, until it came out he wasn't a "hybrid" person, as advertised. Now he's frequently requested for his good looks, until one day "hybrid" Amran buys him outright and takes him to his house. Although Yoru frequently rejects Amran and tries to get away, Amran patiently wears him down, sleeping with him often despite Yoru's protests. But why is Amran so insistent that Yoru is the one for him. The characters are very beautiful, but I didn't like Amran as a character for leaving Yoru in the dark. Trigger warnings: sex work, rape, bestiality.

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.

But when it's revealed that Kuro was the black cat he saw in the first place all along, how is Kawamura going to take it? Includes a side story about fellow cat person, Sheena. Trigger warning: feels like statutory rape.

Although Beni immediately recognizes Kouran as his mate, Kouran fails to realize and instead sees himself as a page striving to pay back Beni as his benefactor. Meanwhile, Beni is frustrated that not only does Kouran not realize Beni's his mate, he also doesn't recognize Beni from a forgotten past they share. Trigger warning: discrimination.

But when the dragon, Ignat, found Rita with a broken leg, Ignat took him in but said he had no need of a bride and Rita could only stay into it healed.

(Ch.1-3, 5.5) Part-time Pets - In a world where animal-human hybrids serve as "pets" to humans, the Kemomimi Corporation rents out pets to those in need. The first is the story of a failing business that rents a bunny who can do anything to help turn things around. The second is the story of an author who lost his cat so he rents a former wildcat to help inspire his work. And the last is the story of a sickly young boy who always wanted a dog but instead gets a highly capable and stern dog-tutor but he comes to like him anyway. My favorite is the bunny ("I specialize in hopping," is the best line of all time). Trigger warning: power imbalance. (Ch.4-5) Koimiko: Love Shrine - Enishi is the koimiko of his family shrine who has inherited the power to create true love for anyone who sleeps with him. Unfortunately for his family, he has no interest in love or sleeping with strangers, at least, until he falls for his teacher Suzumori and realizes how heart-wrenching love can be. But Suzumori can't return Enishi's feelings because of a relationship he had with a former student five years ago, before the student's parents found out and things ended. Enishi offers to sleep with Suzumori to help his love come true, but little did he know that Suzumori's love is already dead, so helping him find love will mean going straight to the afterlife! Not really my cup of tea with this one. Trigger warning: statutory rape.
