I'm Now Homeless, So I Let an Aggressive Host Take Me in as His Pet
Trigger Warning: Dubious consent, rape, stalking Yuzu Hayami is an ordinary, overworked college student with a part time job. That is until he gets rescued by Shun Nashimoto, 23yo popular Host, bisexual and the guy to save Yuzu. That’s because Yuzu has traveled 5 years into the future only to be lost without a home, ID, money or even any idea as to what’s happening. Despite the story having lots of dubious consent and rape/ attempted rape, most of the interactions between the MCs was consensual (though sometimes the uke just got swept along). The story was interesting though perhaps a little fast paced.
Zero Kyori
A spiritual time travel romance story plus bonus stories of other couples in the Paranormal Club. Shinonome Neo travels back to his 15yo self, determined to avoid the salty caramel kisses of Maki Yuuki, President of the Paranormal Club who will (in the future) invite Neo to his wedding with a woman. Going back will change the future but not in the way Neo expects. These stories are cute with little to no angst.
The Timekeeper's Final Summer
A sweet little story about second chances to get things right. Too short, but still sweet.
Yoshiwara Hana Oboro
This story was interesting with a schoolgirl travelling back in time to the Edo period where she finds herself in a geisha house after being mistaken for a prostitute. I would have liked to see a bit more romantic development between Hana and the ML because he seemed smitten with his childhood friend through most of the story. I agree with other comments that the ending was fast. We didn’t even get a love declaration and no satisfying explanation as to why Hana became transparent and then solidified without the pin (not including the time she had to keep some special people alive). I liked that the FL was no pushover and that there was a happy ending.
Soryanaize Darling
College student Maiko Ninomiya (age 20) is about to have her life turn on its head when she becomes involved with the handsome novelist and professor, Yukiya Nagase. It turns out that he is the gently smiling visitor in her erotic dreams, only are his smiles for her? I thought the story was cute and it was really interesting with the time jumps and the pivotal events that happened on and after Maiko’s accident saving a dog. The FL was feisty but also vulnerable and even insecure at times. I liked the ending, it was not something I would have predicted in the beginning and it was sweet.
Heptagon
An apathetic 24yo woman travels back to her 14yo self and discovers the reason she becomes so disconnected in the future. Some real tearjerker moments unfold in this story but overall it’s a special tale of rediscovery and embracing your true self.
Watashi no Karada ga Kowarechau Ecchi na Mirai no Danna-sama
Time travel body swap has Sakurako falling under the knowing touch of the sexually dominant Souma. He plays her body like a virtuoso on a violin and the innocent Sakurako is powerless to resist the hedonistic pleasure he brings. Pretty soon Sakurako falls for her lover but can she stay in this time in another woman’s body? Lots of sexy smut with some light bondage and punishment play, public sex, dubious consent and imaginative role play. Entertaining read.
Boukun Tyrano-san
A silly spot of fun that brought a T-Rex into the body of a teen girl in the style of The Philadelphia Experiment.
Re: Marina
This story was really wonderful. Rinosuke was 16 and about to quit school after the death of his wastrel of a father. That was until his naked wife from the future tumbled into his life. Now, Rinosuke has to adjust to being loved by a warm hearted woman, all while his life changes from its expected path into beautiful chaos. Marina was so genuinely caring and sweet, she made the best FL simply with her honesty in her feelings. I liked the ending, things all started to click in place and make sense. Very much a recommended read.
