Takayuki isn't good at expressing his love. That's why he stole his former classmate Kiyotake's girlfriend in high school and told him he didn't even want her, then went to a different university hoping to cut ties. But when they run into each other again by chance, Kiyotake starts to get closer, causing Takayuki to make terrible decisions to run from him. Trigger warning: violence.

Akiha is plagued by the fox spirit that haunts his family and has currently inhabited him. It makes ears and a tail pop out and causes him all kinds of trouble by taking over his body to get blackout drunk or dig up the yard, and whatnot. It's gotten worse lately, so he decides to move in with some relatives who own a temple while attending college, and that's where he meets Yukuri, a second son of the temple who is beloved by all animals. At first, it's annoying to have the fox get all over Yukuri in Akiha's body, but when Yukuri asks the fox to behave during the day and it actually works, Akiha starts to think they may have a solution. But as he spends more time with Yukuri, Akiha can't help but worry Yukuri is only with him out of pity for his situation with the fox, making it difficult to trust his affection. I like Akiha and the fox spirit a lot, both are very cute, and Yukuri is a good seme. Trigger warning: possible attempted rape?

University student Makise can see ghosts. Fellow student in his research lab, Toono, can erase ghosts. So it seems like a perfect fit for the two of them to work together.

Some parts were really disturbing, but overall I thought it was good, and I liked the happy ending. Trigger warnings: horror, child abuse/neglect, partner abuse, forced confinement, gore, attempted murder.

Asahi has sworn off alphas after his ex, Masuomi, left him for his fated pair, but when he gets drunk on his birthday, he mistakes a stranger for Masuomi, and they sleep together. The next day he learns the stranger is actually Akiomi, Masuomi's twin brother, who wants Asahi to fake date him to keep the annoying girls from clinging to him. Akiomi helps Asahi overcome his trauma from his breakup with Masuomi, and just when Asahi thinks he can open his heart to Akiomi, the two of them run into Masuomi alongside his fated pair, who it turns out is Akiomi's fated pair, too. The breakup between Asahi and Masuomi is gut-wrenching, and I think they needed to show Masuomi's side more as well as put more blame on him. The rest is cute. ️Trigger warnings: dubcon(heat), cheating.
