Ugh the best the best!! So adorable!!!

It was a nice read. Somehow, the school scenes made me feel a bit melancholy (just a bit and just the last chapter), but the other stories were fairly interesting as well.

The first story was weird, but I quite enjoyed it. The uke was a pretty bad guy, but the story from his pov was somewhat captivating. The art was weird, though- the seme kept blushing all the time and the way the author drew it was a bit off putting. The extras weren't bad either, but I would have preferred if the first extra was longer and the second was shorter as I didn't find it all that interesting.

Entertaining and funny.

This author has a talent for painting things bittersweet, so that even when the characters are happy, you feel their anxiety over how the future will turn out. I particularly like how she shows their envy of women and rejection of themselves due to their sexuality. Tres bien!

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.

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.

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
