Love Awakening x Syndrome
Adapted from: Katakoi × Alliance - This is the story of Akito's friend Sano. Virgin uni student who wants to get a girlfriend (19) x An Associate professor he asks for love advice > "Please!! Teach me your love techniques!!" - haha we all know how that will turn out xD Anyway, I loved Sano from the very beginning, since the main story, and I was so looking forward to read his story! I loved it indeed! It was the kind of funny beginning and situation|dynamic that I like, so I really enjoyed reading it!
Koi To Wana
Collection of three stories: • Ch. 1-3, Extra: Koi To Wana - School Life, High School, Classmates, Train, Traditional House, Scar, The seme's family is yakuza but he says that it got dissolved (anyway it's just regarding the seme's background, but it's not a yakuza story!) - I really liked the beginning, but then not so much the rest. Even the sex scenes weren't that good: we saw the uke having sex with the student who he was in a physical relationship with (so he will protect him from potential bullies), and then when he finally does it for the first time with someone he loves, so the seme, we didn't get to see it! Then when they did it again, there wasn't a proper sex scene even once. So yeah, let's say that it failed a bit my expectations, but I still liked it. 3 stars. • Ch. 4: Love Blood - High-school Student, Countryside, Smoking, The seme has LGBT parenthood // Too short and so fast-paced, but I liked it! 3 stars. • Ch. 5: Us, Blooming - Shounen Ai, Cute and Fluffy, 3 stars, Sequel: Mankai Darling
Urisen Boy to Koisuru Onzoushi
Male Prostitute, Natsuo (20) x Innocent High-school Student, Kichiro (17) > Now I want a story for Kichiro's friend Shinji and Natsuo's boss, Josaka! As soon as I saw the boss (an ex male prostitute himself), I thought I so wanted a story for him. Then, when he was about to take Natsuo to the Karaoke place, where Shinji also brought Kichiro, I got ahead and immediately started thinking that they'd meet there and that that would be a nice beginning...they look good together, so please sensei give me a story for them!
Seishun Sanka!
The art style was not much to my liking, but the story was surprisingly good! Apart from the prestigious, boarding all-boys school setting, which is one of my weaknesses in BL, I liked how the story developed! At first, I was worried about the uke's intentions in suggesting to become the seme's lover out of the blue, and, as we see later in ch. 5, they weren't genuine indeed at the beginning, but all is well that ends well! (Well, the seme also went along with the flow at first, without giving it much thought, when his crush was actually a girl, but he fell in love with the uke right after, so I was mostly worried for the uke). Thankfully it was a healthy and cute relationship in the end, and their budding first love was so endearing and it felt like something precious to protect! So, while it's not one of my fave, I really enjoyed reading this sweet story! > Btw, it would be nice if there was a story for Hoshirou's roommate ohoh
Majutsushi-tachi no Yasoukyoku
Unique story, I like it when I find something different to read! Too bad that it was not fully developed though! There was a good world building at first but then it was so rushed! The setting and the plot were interesting, but there are things left without a closure, about the brother, who after being brought to jail escaped, and Sagiri says he will search for him, then about Sagiri's family as well. And, in any case, there was so much to be still explored, also at the academy, the school and dorm life, for example...it's a pity because it had the potential to be a better story! At least about their relationship it's completed, although rushed as well, but regarding the plot and the whole background, one would expect a second volume! So, in that respect, it felt like a draft of what could have been! Anyway, it's still cute to read!

Innocent Maze
Surprisingly, it was put together nicely! I wouldn't call it a favourite of mine, but I really enjoyed reading it! It's a fun, cute and simple story from which you wouldn't expect much at first, but it was actually good!
