When Takase finds out, he's understandly angered, but Yoshino takes his chance to declare his love and that he would do anything. Takase still hates Yoshino, but why can't he stop thinking about him? A very unrealistic and unhealthy relationship portrayed in a comedy. Trigger warnings: stalking, bullying, noncon.

Kishi gets plastered after losing his best friend to marriage only to wake up to the cute young bartender, Nao taking care of him. Nao makes Kishi realize he was actually in love with his friend and offers "hug therapy," to make him feel better. But when this becomes a regular thing between them, Kishi starts to wonder if his "always alone" lifestyle is really enough.

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.

Office worker Kaga ran to the police station and confessed to murder one night, only to realize it was all a dream. The policeman on duty, Seto, is more than understanding and suggests that Kaga can come talk to him whenever he has nightmares from now on. As they spend more time together, Seto is happy to have a new friend, but Kaga isn't sure he can be a good friend since he's gay and already head over heels for Seto. Very cute, no trigger warnings.

Office worker Maoka is so expressionless, people say he's like a robot, but the one bright spot of his day is visiting his favorite cafe and talking to the owner, Botan. When Maoka gets a love potion as a gift, he impulsively gives it to Botan thinking he will spoil him even more gently, but Botan goes totally wild. After that, Maoka feels he has to take responsibility by sleeping with Botan whenever he gets the urge until he can find the woman who gave him the potion and learn how to get it out of Botan's system. Includes a sequel where they are an established couple. Honestly, I have my issues with Botan as a seme, but the story of how they first met on the cafe's opening day told from each perspective really stands out from this one. Trigger warning: Dubcon, lying/manipulation, drug(roofie), implied rape.

Yuki Nishino had his heart shattered by his best friend, Naoya Date, in high school, so when he sees Date wander into a gay bar, Yuki thinks this is his chance for revenge, though it doesn't quite go how he hoped. Date doesn't recognize Yuki at first, but when he does he's shocked by the huge change in his once innocent friend and he can't remember when Yuki says it was his fault. Kind of a cliche story with some dumb messages (don't let stalkers go free because they genuinely love you), but it's fine to read for the smut. Trigger warnings: stalking, homophobia.

I really enjoy what we have of this one, and I wish it would update again. Trigger warning: dubcon (drunk).
