Not bad. It was entertaining, at least.

Oddly enough, I didn't care for it. It was good and the characters were interesting, but I just didn't feel satisfied when I was done. I was really excited thinking how interesting it would be if the MC really got involved with some drug organization. But then the whole drug subplot kind of got dropped to the wayside to make it just another romance yaoi.

First chapter was so good! Second one was a bit of a letdown- it should have been split into at least 2 chapters.

Hmm...it was alright? Some of the stories were funny (the two delinquents one was downright hilarious) but the rest were rather dull. Not much in the way of emotion, either. Just short stories to make you giggle to yourself a bit and move on.

Super funny! Really wish this continued.

How can I describe this? It has a different feel from other yaoi, but I couldn't stop reading. Somehow, even with all of their strangeness and flaws, the characters were so endearing. Maybe because they seemed as real and random as real people? And I really enjoyed the dialogue, especially in the first story. Somehow, the lulls in conversation spoke volumes.

The first one was...alright, I guess? It was so predictable I knew where it was going by the 4th or 5th page, but I quite liked the MC (who didn't think of him badly just because he seemed nerdy) so I wouldn't have minded a few more chapters. The second story was kinda dumb. Nothing enjoyable about it; the characters didn't have any depth and the "romance" seemed to come out of nowhere. The girl was dramatic- not in terms of relationships, but just in how she overreacted to every single thing that happened.

Female boss attracted to her subordinate and finds out he feels the same way when they get stuck in the office on Christmas Eve. Not a bad story. In fact, this makes me more interested in the female superior, male subordinate situation.

Edit: I originally described this author's one shots as mediocre, but I was wrong somewhat. They're mediocre when you binge read 20 at once because you're overloading your brain with so many characters and plots that you'd need some thing stellar to make an impact that can last past the next couple stories. Her series are much more memorable since you have time to learn to love the characters. But her one shots aren't bad athing all. They're rather cute, in fact. Certainly can't say they're super memorable, but they give all I want from a one shot- a bite-sized plot that's a snapshot of real life high school love (fancified of course), not too much drama, characters you want to cheer for, and a romance that makes you grin. Overall, just adorable
