In high school, Katsumi harshly rejected his best friend Maki’s confession. Now, ten years later they reunite and Maki finds that Katsumi’s regrets from that time have caused him to seek out violent sex as a way of punishing himself. Maki can’t help but intervene and tries to help Katsumi forgive himself. I love the aspect of the one who was rejected not having trauma, but gently seeking to heal his friend. Though it’s sad, it’s still a sweet and gentle love. Side story about a city boy who moves to the country and the neighbor boy who takes care of him finding love.

After being rejected, high school student Yuuji is crying in the park when elementary school student is touched and declares he'll take care of him so he'll never cry again and steals Yuuji's first kiss. Despite his youth, Atsushi is serious about Yuuji and wins him over, so Yuuji waits for his little prince to grow up. Also contains the oneshot of high school student Kiyoharu and his older lover Yuki who feels insecure about their relationship and worries a high school girl will steal his love away.

(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.

Ch.1-5 - An omega girl gets raped by an alpha as a young girl and thinks she's in love (as does the story, but I think that's BS). As an older woman and oiran (Japanese prostitute), she finally meets him again. Trigger warnings: rape, sex trafficking. Ch.6-9 - A tough girl omega and wimpy boy alpha are childhood friends who separate after her first heat and are finally reunited as adults. No trigger warnings. Ch.10-11 - In an animal omegaverse world, alphas are expected to have many wives so they can bear a lot of children, and a goat beta girl can't admit she loves her cat alpha childhood friend because she wants him all to herself. No trigger warnings, except secondhand embarrassment.

A selection of ghost stories, the first three chapters about a cat ghost and the last two about a cherry tree spirit. They’re a little strange, but honestly, the cat ghost made me cry, so don’t knock it.

Two stories of boring guys and their hot boyfriends and one story about a cat ear world slightly connected with our world. Trigger warning: bullying.

Ch.1-3 - Kawasaki is overworked at the office, so on a whim, he books a maid escort service only to find it's a man who arrives. But after giving Nao a shot, he's hooked and starts to want even more. Trigger warning: sex work. Ch.4-6 - Italian chef Atsushi is shocked when his young temp worker, Eita, confesses to him, and though he tries to reject him, Eita is just too persistent! But even though Atsushi starts to return Eita's feelings, how can he accept Eita's love if it risks ruining his future? I like this second couple a lot, and I like that Atsushi's worries are legitimate and not your typical "but he could be normal and have a family!" stuff you often see in mangas. No trigger warnings.

Ch.1-3, 7 - Kouhei is a serious and work-obsessed businessman, and his coworkers are sick of it, so they play a prank by taking him to an S&M club having him get tied up. But when the bartender, Hijiri, ties him up, Kouhei feels something ignite inside him, and soon sex with Hijiri is his new obsession, no matter how much he wants it to stop. But as Kouhei grapples with guilt and shame over paying for kinky sex, Hijiri wants something else out of this relationship, entirely. Interesting dynamic, from their personalities to the way their kinks play into it. Trigger warnings: bullying, S&M, bondage, sex work. Ch.4-6 - Yuji is known for his cool and expressionless persona as an actor, but really he's just very shy, and when he gets his photos taken by an older guy who's exactly his type, he can barely keep it together. For the first time, he wants to pursue love instead of letting it go. The uke is really cute although I don't care for the seme. No trigger warnings.

Ch.1-4 - Konatsu is an independent omega who ends up reuniting with her childhood friend, Prime Minister Konatsu. Though she feels their statuses are too different for them to be together, he's certain they're meant to be. Trigger warnings: sex work, discrimination. Ch.5-9 - Kayama is a "betafied" omega who releases almost no pheromones, but when two alphas see her in heat, they decide to attack her anyway.

Trigger warnings: discrimination, attempted rape. Ch.9-11 - Rune lives in a dystopian future where alphas and omegas are raised completely separately and partners and family size are decided by AI, but one day she wanders into the alpha side of the school on accident. She's saved by alpha Horo and falls in love at first sight, but there's almost no chance they'll ever meet again, until by chance they're paired together on the day of their graduation. Trigger warning: sexual harassment.
