Kare Wa Tsumetai Furi O Shite
The girls' eyes legitimately took up half of their faces, so that was a bit hard to get over. Other than that, the stories weren't anything special: typical whiny heroine, typical "resist, resist, resist, then give in" male leads, the works. Interestingly enough, it also felt like the quality of the stories decreased towards the later chapters (or was it just me?), especially with the last chapter. It's like the author just gave up on having sensible plot development.

What separates a good short story from a bad one when dealing with 30 pages or less is being able to generate an emotional reaction from the readers. This story didn't have that at all, and the times when it did try to show an emotional shift in the characters, the story was bogged down by the odd pacing and inconsistent dialogue. Also, I don't get the obsession with the whole "first boyfriend" thing. Did he say that when he confessed or something? It seemed like everyone's focus was on that but it didn't make any sense for the girls to claim that was the only reason he was dating her. I mean, he was at least a year older than her; you're telling me there were no girls in his grade who never dated before?

Despite the shallow nature of these stories, it was still quite an enjoyable read.

This really needed some work, whether it be with the pacing,art, or the translation, particularly during the kissing scene at the end. Since it's only 2x pages long, we don't really have time to learn the characters' names/personalities all that well so throwing in some ambiguous text bubbles make it hard to follow the text properly. Tbh, I thought the Satomi was the son's name, then the seme's name, and only now realize it was the uke's name. Why? For one, I don't think the son ever had a name. Also, we see a kiss between the two where someone says "Satomi" without sufficient context or even good placing to show who exactly was saying it. It's so bad that I can't tell if the summary is inaccurate or not.

Very psychological but still interesting. I disliked some of the stories, liked others, and felt nothing for others but, in the end, I'm still happy that I took the time to read this.
