(Ch.1) A butler buys his spoiled young master, Leonard, a human toy to play with, and after raping him multiple times, the two realize they can help each other's loneliness and actually form a relationship. Also maybe the butler lusts after one or both of them. Not my thing, wouldn't read again. Trigger warning: rape (Ch.2) After a giant, one-winged bird falls from heaven, an island of virgin boys are rounded up and tasked with making it a new wing, and one of the boys constantly rapes his friend. When his friend decides not to take it anymore, the boy finally admits he's in love. Again, not my thing, though the setting was at least interesting and brought up further questions. Trigger warning: rape. (Ch.3) A man contracted with a devil and desires a cute magician. He eventually rapes the magician so that the devil can't possibly give him what he wishes, which is presumably the magician's love. Their relationship was the best out of the three, but still overall, would not read again. Trigger warning: rape.

Isa is a high school teacher troubled by a confession from his student Homura who also happens to be the younger brother of his one and only ex-girlfriend, who he dated until he realized he was gay. He's sure Homura knows and is just trying to tease him, but it turns out Homura's repeated invitations to "play" with him are just the only way he knows how to ask for Isa's affection. Not my favorite couple, but it's fine for what it is. Also includes a oneshot of Yuuji and Manabe, childhood friends who were reunited as a ramen deliveryboy and a policeman, but Yuuji worries that his pure-hearted friend will be disappointed when he realizes he's not the hero Manabe thought he was anymore. Trigger warning: dubcon, statutory rape(?)

Multiple stories about anthropomorphized bugs, mostly centered on Shiori, a spider who no longer eats other bugs, and his friends. Ch.01.1-01.3, 01.7-2.2 - Shiori (spider) finds two male Japanese honeybees (Honey and Bee) have unexpectedly moved into his house (web) after being chased out by the stronger female bees. He takes them in, recalling when he previously took in a butterfly with a torn wing, Midori, and fell in love, as well as two ladybugs, leading him to stop eating other insects, before Shiori was taken away by another spider. But when Shiori hears Midori may still be alive, he and all his friends are determined to bring Midori home. Cute story. Trigger warning: forced confinement. Ch.01.4-01.6 - Akira has a mild sun allergy, so he hates staying inside every summer. But this year a cicada, Natsume, who has heard his voice while hibernating below the ground until now has emerged, and he wants to use his brief time on earth to mate with Akira. Akira isn't sold, but will Natsume win him over. Trigger warning: death. Ch.2.3 - The story of Arou, the spider who stole Midori, and how he became so mistrustful of other bugs, as well as his subordinate Shirogane who loves him, but Arou refuses to believe it. Trigger warning: betrayal, violence.

Ch.1-4 - What's Reflected in Your Eyes - Akazawa's workplace is totally full of burly men, except the young and fresh-faced Uzui who he finds easy on the eyes. But when a woman is finally hired in the workplace and Akazawa seems to shift his attention to her, Uzui reacts and lets him know he's been after Akazawa for much longer than he could have known. The following chapters continue their relationship. No trigger warnings. Ch.5 - Kissing on the Virgin Road - Kazu and Yoh have been a couple for years, ever since Kazu begged the matron, Lulu, of a cross-dressing host club(and/or brothel) to give him her number one "girl," Youko (Yoh's drag name) and they ran away together. Now Lulu's come back to check up on them and has reminded Yoh of an old dream he had to be a bride, so Kazu is determined to make his dream wedding happen. Very cute. Trigger warning: possible sex work. Ch.6 - The Rules of Distortion - Hiro confessed his love to his friend Sakou many years ago in high school, and it didn't go well, so he put it behind him, until Sakou showed up broke on his restaurant's doorstep and offered to trade sex for a meal. Now they're basically sex friends who are meeting every week, but Hiro is struggling not to get in too deep, not knowing how Sakou feels. No trigger warnings.

Ch.1-1.5 - Neko no Yomeiri - Sachs is a tigerman living on a mountain who happens across a cat in a trap that looks like a good meal. The cat introduces himself as Wilhelm and begs not to be eaten, as he is a sacrifice for the god living in the castle. Since Sachs has recently taken up living in the abandoned castle, he decides to impersonate the god and says Wilhelm is his sacrifice, intending to fatten him up and eat him. But he almost immediately gets too attached to go through with it. I think they're very cute, especially in their bonus chapter. No sex. Trigger warning: lying/manipulation Ch.2 - Intoxication Honey - Claudio is an introverted cat nobleman who hates dogs until he has a chance meeting with dog beastman Kainz one night on a balcony and gets swept off his feet.

But what will happen when police come looking for Dieter as a jewel thief after Edgar already found a gem in Dieter's things? No trigger warnings.

The story of Yuki and Yoshi, a newly married couple who are trying to get used to each other, and Yuki isn't sure if she can keep up with Yoshi's sex drive. No trigger warnings.

Ch.1-3 - Komaki and Tasuku are a perfectly happy married couple who met as if by fate! The only problem is, they both have secrets they're desperately hiding. Tasuku doesn't want Komaki to find out he used to be a host, and Komaki doesn't want Tasuku to realize she was actually his stalker for many years prior to their first real "meeting." So how will he react when the truth inevitably comes out? A quick comedy romance that's a fun read. Trigger warning: stalking. Ch.4 - The story of Tasuku's former coworker, the host Kitsubei and his longtime girlfriend, Yui. Kitsubei starts to think he wants to really invest in this relationship and get married, but he can't help but worry that Yui doesn't even seem to care he meets with other women! No trigger warnings (I think, I didn't read it that closely). Ch.5 - After Izuma got drunk with her boss Takamine and woke up in his bed, she worried something had happened, but he coldly told her he was "almost a virgin," meaning he hadn't had sex in a long time. Izuma is worried her boss now thinks she's loose, but meanwhile, he's getting transferred and her chances to clear up this misunderstanding may be slipping away. No trigger warnings.

Ch.1, 4.5-4.7 - Mauri and Dragon - In a village devoid of women after they were all taken by a cruel lord, the young boy Mauri is offered to the wandering dragon god when he demands an offering. The dragon is at first displeased, but comes to like spending time with Mauri so much that when he sees the men of the village try to make Mauri "comfort" them like he did in the past, the dragon won't stand for it. Starts a little dark, but ends with a very cute and sweet family. Trigger warnings: mention of kidnapping, attempted rape. Ch.2 - The Rain God - Matsuri has always been able to see strange things, including the seemingly powerful being Shiromine who he's known and admired since he was a child. Matsuri has what he thinks is a one-sided crush on Shiromine, but when he lashes out at Shiromine for treating him like a child and Shiromine causes it to rain for days on end, he realizes that Shiromine cares for him more than he lets on. I like their relationship and how it's developed over time. Trigger warning: touching/kissing a minor. Ch.3a-3b - Hunter of Everlasting Spring - The god of spring (bird) has taken notice of the hunter Jiin who comes to the mountain every year and listens to his song, but this year the god of spring suddenly took human form because of his feelings for Jiin. When he was kidnapped and made to sing on command for greedy humans, Jiin was the one to save him, but now that they're together, the god still doesn't know how to express his feelings to Jiin. Trigger warning: kidnapping, slavery. Ch.4 - The Wandering One - After a young boy's family is killed, he's left alone and gets taken in by a man, Kitsune, and the very large horse he has with him, Orphée. The boy learns the two are lovers and the horse is a god, and when the group they're with is attacked again, including Kitsune, he and Orphée team up to take the men down. But the young boy isn't quite what he seems. Trigger warning: murder, attempted kidnapping. Vol.2 Ch.1-2 - Itsuka and Black Dragon - As war rages across the country, Itsuka leads a group of bandits who steal to get by while chasing after the black dragon who supposedly brings calamity, but who is also Itsuka's lover.

Vol.2 Ch.3 - Lonely Tanta - Tanta is a feathered dog creature left alone after his mother's death. When he tries to pluck his feathers and catch a fish so he can enter a pack of dogs, a stranger helps him catch a fish, but his offering is rejected by the pack. However it turns out the stranger was a wondering god who took a liking to Tanta, so perhaps neither has to be alone anymore. This one has made me cry. I also like that it's the one story with love between a god and a nonhuman. Trigger warning: attempted murder (between animals).

Ch.1 - Marine Blue Marriage - The pirate captain Wolff had his ship taken and was pushed into the sea where he was rescued by the octopus-like god, Poseidon, who proclaimed Wolff his bride. At first, Wolff wants to take advantage of Poseidon's affection to exact revenge, but how will he react when he finds out his enemies are long gone? Trigger warnings: depression, tentacles. Ch.4 - The Dragon's Rain - When Ryu was a child, his village begged the dragon god for rain, and he agreed in exchange for Ryu as an offering when he grew. The village hated to send their cheif's son, but Ryu secretly had always adored the dragon and spent the next three years training his body to be to the dragon god's liking. Now that they've reunited, will the dragon god accept him? Trigger warning: shotacon (looks only), mention of cannibalism, drowning. Ch.7 - Rakuen Paradise - A young boy who was all alone found solace in his companionship with a strange monster who may kill people, and he sells his body to support them both. Trigger warnings: sex work, tentacles. Ch.8 - The Cowardly Demon's Love Sickness - The ogre Benimaru had his first love with a human man many years ago, but their races and genders kept them apart, and his beloved soon died. Now, living in the present era where supernatural creatures are accepted, Benimaru is working at a cafe where he's agressively courted by the young man Tatsumi, but Benimaru can't bring himself to open his heart to another human, knowing they'll be separated again soon. However, Tatsumi refuses to give up, and when Benimaru thinks he may have lost him, he realizes how he felt for Tatsumi all along. By far my favorite couple in this list, I especially love Tatsumi's face right after Benimaru finally confesses, as well as his backstory. Trigger warning: bestiality.

A Japanese mountain god (later called Water Lily) finds an injured man on his mountain treating a deer's injury and begrudgingly takes him back to his shrine and heals him. The man, Kyouya, agrees to tell Water Lily about the city in return, and ends up getting physically intimate with Water Lily, only to steal one of his horns right after the act, rendering him powerless. Water Lily has no choice but to go to the city with Kyouya, but he finds that Kyouya takes good care of him and is so kind, that he doesn't mind that Kyouya took his horn, until he learns Kyouya only did it to give him to the emperor. I think Water Lily is an interesting character, and given that he's not human, the way he perceives Kyouya is fascinating too. Trigger warnings: kidnapping, noncon.
