Ai ni Yuku
It’s a sweet story of a friendship rekindled between a young man and the protective house spirit who is bound to forest areas.
Jigoku no Sata mo Yokume Shidai
This was a really cute delinquent story set in the all boys dorm of Hadoma High School. Problem child Yohei Goshi is a source of constant trouble for his teachers; cutting class, staying out all night, and not doing his tasks. In contrast, the new junior captain of the judo team and dorm leader, Itsuki Ashiba is trusted by everyone at school. It’s a clash of wills that leads to a closer relationship than expected. I really liked this pair. Savvy jocks and clueless delinquents; check! Sexy clashes; check! Read again?; check!
Hidamari Starlight
Very sweet relationship between 2 step siblings whose world revolves around each other. It’s a trope but the little spins in their dynamic made it special. Both guys were kind hearted, gentle, and treasured the other. The new guy on the side was not there to cause trouble or make this a triangle. It really was just a sweet story about accepting a new dimension in a strong, healthy relationship.
Ijiwaru Shinai de
A very sweet workplace romance between the rather awkward 23yo Katou and his aloof senpai, 29yo Serizawa. When Katou’s confession was initially met with rejection his tears caught the interest of Serizawa’s inner bully and the two began a relationship of teasing and increasing attraction. I loved that the awkward Katou was sexually intense and the way that Serizawa’s dominance in the bedroom fell before that youthful intense passion.
Warui ko demo ii?
Sequel to I Want To Be Naughty, this one had a little more angst as the airheaded delinquent, Towa fumbles with defining his relationship with the student council President. We see the mix of bullying cruelty and protectiveness of Mikado and the clueless innocence of Towa. All the original friends and Towa’s brothers are there as well as a new seductive potential uke. I liked the hints of interest between a few characters that seem to be setting up to be later explored.
Warui Koto Bakkashite Gomennasai

Manazashi No Hayagane
Two student teachers find love. The first with his former sensei who encouraged him to be true to himself. The second with a prickly tempered man who found himself bewildered by the sunny spirited and social young sensei. I probably liked the second couple more, but both stories were sweet reads.
Idol-kun wa Koi wo Shiranai
The very cute music idol Hinato attends a part time school as his more authentic self. A little awkward and a lot naive, Hinata is a shy, scruffy looking guy who really wants to be friends with fellow student, the serious and hardworking, Yamada. However, Hinata having seen a glimpse of his older brothers more risqué behaviour with his best friend, Hinata begins to wonder if being best buds with Yamada means that kind of behaviour is expected of him too. And if so, why is it so appealing? This is a really cute little story, although you have to wonder how anyone in the entertainment industry could remain so innocent? Well, not forever ;)
Seishun Hensachi
It’s a cute story if a bit weird at times (the untouchable flower bit ). When the beautiful yet lonely Hiyori- sensei receives his first confession it was from his student, Uzuki. Flustered, he thanks the intense adolescent and tells Uzuki to see him in 5 years when he is an adult. Fast forward those years and the still lonely Hiyori makes a prayer in a small temple to meet his destined love. Only it turns out that the one he meets is Uzuki, who is the math teacher at the school Hiyori just transferred. And not only does Uzuki sensei still remember Hiyori, but every time Hiyori sets eyes on him or even think about him but he gets an uncontrollable and obvious erection. And it seems that Uzuki sensei is only too happy to take advantage.
