Mano Taiyou found a black kitten dying in the snow and rushed it to the vet without thinking. Now he has a new kitten to take care of, Yuki, even though he has no experience as a pet owner and is uncomfortable with cats and dogs. Worse yet, Yuki was poisoned by a cat food trap, so he won't eat any normal food due to his trauma. Taiyou is determined to take care of his picky kitten, even if it means learning to cook home cooked meals for cats. Very cute and fluffy slice of life.

School life about a listless boy

A slice of life about Mayoi, a beautiful, tall woman called the school's "prince," and Ozumi, her shorter boyfriend who always finds himself on the receiving end of her princely mannerisms. But Mayoi's love for Ozumi has an overly possessive side that started when they were children, and Ozumi is finally starting to notice. Trigger warning: bullying

Jekyll and Hyde are twins who began changing places when they were kids after the stoic Jekyll became jealous of the outgoing Hyde. Now at school, they met the first person who could ever tell them apart, John, and the three became friends. Unfortunately, shortly after that one of the twins died, and though the gravestone said Jekyll was buried, John isn't certain which twin was left behind. This story was heart wrenching but very well written. The conclusion wasn't entirely satisfying to me, but I still highly recommend. Trigger warning: dealing with death.

Kanade is a popular office worker with a secret hobby--after work, he likes to dress up as a pretty girl. Meanwhile, his coworker Aki is known as a cold and unapproachable woman, but in her private life she dresses like an ambiguously gendered punk. The two meet in their off-work personas and hit it off, striking up a friendship, but when Kanade realizes Aki is actually his coworker, he realizes that this will mean the end of their budding friendship. Cute and interesting reversal of norms and expectations. No trigger warning.

Minamikawa can read minds, and though she's used to tuning out all the negative thoughts, she has no defense against the constant love her seat neighbor, Takamori, radiates at her all school day long. A cute slice of life about an embarrassed mind reader and her quiet fan. No trigger warnings.

Akihiro Kashima is the captain of the Sawatari branch of the mafia, and he's head over heels in love for the boss who picked him up off the street when he was a kid, but he knows the boss can never find out so he tries to hide it (and does terribly, but the boss is too carefree to notice). Starts out slice of life, but eventually they do get into the plot of an old enemy who targeted Akihiro to get to the boss in the past returning to do so again, only to force the boss to realize his own feelings. I like this couple, but the actual story stuff ended up feeling unresolved by the end. Trigger warnings: kidnapping, violence.

When they met as children, Haru was a crybaby and Yuki was the cool friend who took care of him. Now they're adults and they're in love, and Yuki loves how cool Haru has become. A cute slice of life about a sugary sweet couple as they consider the future of their relationship. No trigger warnings.
