"Riichi, a cold and composed bodyguard, leads the security team protecting a conglomerate's son. One day, he's tasked with mentoring Tachibana, a talented but mysterious recruit. To Riichi's surprise, Tachibana reveals he's out of money and homeless, forcing Riichi to guide him both professionally and personally. Thus begin Riichi's chaotic days of handling the unpredictable Tachibana."

"Kawashima is a 3rd year highschool student who's always had a shitty life. He has a violent personality so people constantly misjudge him and his actions. One day he meets Sayama, a 1st year who's good at everything but has zero ambitions in life. Thanks to his easygoing personality, he becomes the only person who's ever tried to understand Kawashima. These two will have a huge impact on each other's lives." 5 stars for the 2nd story (kind of ignoring the first one). I really love how genuine it feels. (^^)

"At university, Izumi keeps getting mistaken for another glasses-wearing student with the same name, who seems to take on anyone's requests. Curious and exasperated, Izumi starts tailing his namesake to avoid confusion. What begins as a practical endeavor slowly blossoms into a quiet, heartfelt twilight romance."

Window cleaner. "Hakuhou Tamaki, the young president of a top Japanese company, has no interest in love or family due to his father's tumultuous marriages. However, his life shifts when he locks eyes with Yashiro Jin, a window cleaner, through the glass. A chance encounter sparks an unexpected connection that turns Tamaki’s world upside down."

"Ito, serious and reserved, meets the playful Nishi during a game of "White Line" on their walk home from school. Their connection grows, and one impulsive kiss from Ito changes everything. From high school to college and into adulthood, their love endures despite life’s shifts. This poignant story follows two men bound by unwavering feelings as they navigate ever-changing realities." A more realistic take on MxM relationships. Definitely an emotional read.

Absolutely GORGEOUS art style and really heartfelt, angsty but sweet. Explores queer one-sided-love pain very well.

A more interesting story compared to my other reads, character-wise. The art is so pretty! Looking forward to more chapters.
