Body Talk Paradox
3 school friends approaching 30 all start to find someone who loves them. The mechanic and his bosses son was cute, though it would have been better if we could see more mutual loving happening. The tattooist and his landlord was my favourite, there was a lot of love between that pair. The slightly sadistic salaryman and his intern were cute but they felt a long way from being a real couple even at the end of the book. My other favourite was the two tattooists story. So cute, loved their look and style and their romance was adorable.
Smell Fetish
Popular Shirogane is a high school boy who suffers from extreme sensitivity to odours. When he discovered that the prickly Tokuro had a soothing aroma, he latched on to him and inserted himself in his life. However, Tokuro was gay and misunderstood Shirogane’s motives. This feisty pair battled their way through misunderstandings, the constant intrusion of a younger sibling, and the quest to be on top (both seme). Tbh, despite the title being about a smell fetish, the main plot driver between these MCs was the battle of “insertion”. It was chaos but it was an enjoyable read.
Anti-Platonic
Two cute stories: Anti-Platonic: Gregarious playboy Ryoya is a bit of a man whore. Bisexual, he has had his fair share of casual partners, but his current male fuck buddy is causing his heart to flutter. The emotionless Io is Ryoya’s roommate and person of interest. He enjoys the scent of Ryoya and the sex but is he interested in more? A Totally Lovesick Demon: Fox demon Shiranui avoids humans. Since his last sojourn into the human world ended in betrayal he has stayed alone in his forest, forbidden to enter by humans. 18yo Rintarou entered the forbidden forest in search of food for his sick mother. The vibrantly energetic young man was initially terrified when he encountered the demon, but it didn’t take long for his soft heart to open towards the lonely Shiranui. But what happens when a demon exorcist is called to banish Shiranui?
