Backstage de Aimashou
A stoic style stage actor and the gentle model turned actor. A sweet story set in the world of actors and fans, these two become a strong pair. As always with this mangaka, the art was great too.
Ore to Kacho no Shujukankei
20yo Maki-kun has been an office worker for 2 years. His section chief (34yo) bosses him around terribly and for all that Maki lives to complain about his boss, he thrives under the abuse. Seems that section manager has recognised that Maki is an extreme M (although Maki would blushingly deny the extreme part). Maki is about to find out some surprises about his boss. Like how dominant a neko can be with the right M seme. The second story was a gentler tale, though still full of sexy scenes. Ordinary office worker Tanaka has fallen for the beautiful part time waitress at his favourite cafe, Kanade-san. Gathering his courage he confesses and stunningly is accepted by the high school student. But the pretty Kanade-san has a secret, one that can’t be hidden. Will it matter if Kanade-wan is more than she seems? This story had some cute role play scenes for this playful couple.
Hajimete ha Mechakucha Hageshii
A group of short stories and oneshots. The main one with the office workers was the best, it had the most connection between the characters. Ch 3 the incest story didn’t even manage to portray a close bond between the brothers and with one of them excessively promiscuous their ultimate connection just lacked any real emotion. The haemorrhoid one was funny though. Gotta say, I would rather confess my feelings than ask my friend to apply haemorrhoid cream
Yasashikushitanara Nokosazu Tabete
Two interrelated stories. In the first there are the host Leo, and chef Jin. An ex gang member, Jin knows what it’s like to need a hand up sometimes, so when he finds Leo homeless in the rain one night, he takes him home. As a thanks, Leo happily performs sexual favours on the bewildered Jin. A cute story, though personally I found Leo not the most likeable character, however the older Jin was a sweetie. The second story was very good. Cafe worker, Kaname had a huge unrequited love for their much older boss. There’s more to the quiet cafe owner than meets the eye, but this pair know a lot of each other’s secrets.
Konokoi wa Unmeijanai
Designer Tsukamoto and ex delinquent turned printing master Seto are the MCs in this enjoyable manga set around a printing house. It’s a gay x straight guy story with a nice twist in that Seto is totally ok with the gay scene and is in no way judgemental. I like the sparks that fly between two creative MCs and the friends and ex’s that fill the story are all entertaining in their own ways.
Trap of Desire
Based on Mary Calmes, “All Kinds of Tied Down” novel, the first in the Marshals series. Deputy US Marshal Miro Jones has a reputation for being calm and collected under fire. These traits serve him well with his hotshot partner, Ian Doyle, the kind of guy who can start a fight in an empty room. In the past three years of their life-and-death job, they've gone from strangers to professional coworkers to devoted teammates and best friends. Miro’s cultivated blind faith in the man who has his back… faith and something more. As a marshal and a soldier, Ian’s expected to lead. But the power and control that brings Ian success and fulfillment in the field isn't working anywhere else. Ian’s always resisted all kinds of tied down, but having no home—and no one to come home to—is slowly eating him up inside. Over time, Ian has grudgingly accepted that going anywhere without his partner simply doesn't work. Now Miro just has to convince him that getting tangled up in heartstrings isn't being tied down at all.
Onegai Sonnnani Kamanaide
A hot and sexy biting fetish story between the popular Igarashi and the plain faced Yanagi. There is dangerous obsession, possessiveness and a uke who can stand up for what he needs. And ofc, love between 2 perfect for each other guys. I really loved it all.
Hana Furu Futari
Successful office worker Minakami initially shrugs off new employee Kakuta as dull. But it doesn’t take long for the man’s positive attitude to catch his eye. But Minakami is a man tormented by the actions of his past and when he realises that Kakuta knows who he was, he felt driven to torment his kouhai and bind him to him. However, Kakuta is not the easy pushover his blushing face and sensitive responses would lead you to believe. Quite the opposite. Can Minakami man up and fix the mistakes of his past in order to pave the way for a loving future? Or will he ruin his chance at happiness with someone who genuinely cares?
Futsuu ni Koi Shite
Delightfully fluffy and warm, this story tells of a pair of opposites who unexpectedly fall for each other. Tall yet remarkably ordinary, Fukawa was a temporary staff member who was used to being taken for granted and overlooked. When he was approached by his office senior, the aloof and professional Subada Rinji, to work full time in his new business venture, Fukawa was astonished yet delighted to accept. Working closely with his new boss, Fukawa quickly became aware of the extraordinary effect that Rinji had on those around him. And as circumstances bought them closer together he found himself falling for his unnervingly direct boss. But did that make him just another who made Rinji uncomfortable?
