Ousama ni Kiss!
A beautiful story with the most likeable MCs, especially the seme. It was heartwarming and full of love and humour and the close ties of family and friends. With all that, the Santa chapter tugged at my heart and had my tears flowing. Loved the epilogue too, it was all simply wonderful.
Kakugo wo Kimete
Two really good stories. I loved Tetsu in the first story as the adorably cute uke you don’t want to cross. Senou wasn’t the most likeable guy as a partner, but it was fun to see how he was no match for the deceptively naive Tetsu and how he changed for the better when he showed a willingness to put himself second and protect the boy he was falling for. I found their dynamic loads of fun simply because of how scary Tetsu could be. The second story was more enjoyable insofar as both characters were likeable from the start and their sensei x student story was surprisingly hot. Loved the dad too. He’s another who is more than meets the eye.
Hizamazu Ai ni Kogareru
Cute set of stories. I liked the first one best, in part because it had a few chapters so the characters developed better, and in part because I have a soft spot for childhood friends to lovers stories.
Sore wa Tabetewa Ikemasen
A nice bunch of short stories. My one critique would be that at times the mangaka leaped forward in the stories a bit too much, like there was assumed knowledge but they hadn’t shared it. The older brother x werewolf was like that and sadly it was difficult to like. The cowardly vamp was cute and I liked the sensei x student. All worth a read though.
