Piercing Hole
Sex, piercings, pain. This was remarkably original and disturbingly enjoyable.

Some disturbing scenes are in this story, but they are in the typical Harada style of life not always being light and full of decent, non twisted people. As horrible as it was, the retribution scene seemed to trigger a reset for the self centred seme. There was definitely a feeling that something had to give (and I know this mangaka isn’t one to shy from confronting scenes), but that still left me feeling sorry for an otherwise rather unlikeable man.

I love these guys. It was beyond great to see them happy together and moving forward as a solid couple.

This was a special story that wrung tears from me despite my best efforts to not cry. There was comfort though, in the amazing connection between the MCs and their relationship, making this a standout story in every way.
Tomarigi (Torch)
So cute and sweet with a touch of violence (no weak seme’s for a Harada). Great oneshot.
Suki Na Hito Hodo
Not the most likeable characters but interesting stories. A little too much focus on the rapist cross dresser in the first story for my liking, and the second was rape with a minor. The twist gave it some redemption but it was still not my kind of preference to read. Interesting to see sounding play but it was forced so it was overall a disappointment.
Hikizuru Oto
It’s a twisted story of manipulation and obsession that makes up a relationship between 2 childhood friends. Any love between these guys has no chance to flourish amidst the toxic foundation of guilt, lies and deceit. This is a well done psychological story but I find it a bit sad that they will never be able to have a happy loving relationship together.
