Highway Yo ga Aketa Nara
Story 1: It's about two childhood friends; the girl is 4 years older than the guy, who have been in love with her for years. She has a boyfriend (he's a dick and was apparently just using her for sex). The ML confessed when the FL still had a boyfriend, saying that he doesn't care and will never give up on her. She realizes in the end that she loves him as well and has been brushing his feelings off due to his age (she's in university and he is in high school). They end up together. Story 2: It's about a high school couple with a MASSIVE height gap of 40 cm. They struggle with how others percieve them as a couple, mistaking them for siblings or even father and daughter. And, those who know that they're the same age make fun of the two of them. They eventually just stop caring what others think and just care what they feel for each other. Story 3: It's about a high school girl and an older guy (young adult). He's a bus driver. She has had feelings for him for a while and is saved by him on the bus when her ex tries to touch her (he got his hand between her legs and was going to finger her), throwing him off the bus and telling him that the girl obviously didn't want it (she screamed 'no'). This only made her love the driver more. He eventually fell for her as well and they ended up together. Story 4: It's about a younger girl who works in a convenience store and a much taller, older truck driver whom she loves. She manages to convince him to drive her to Akita in Japan, telling him how it's a dream of hers to travel all over Japan. They get together on the trip after she confesses her feelings for him and seduces him. In the end, he asks her if she wants to go to a destination I don't remember the name of, and she says 'yes', obviously. They agree in the end to continue driving places together, traveling Japan with each other. 5/5. I loved all the 4 stories. Will re-read! The stories weren't especially short either, which I liked.
