Very natural relationship progression. Lots of fluff. Uke stressed about his feelings for his boss, meanwhile his boss is blatantly flirting with him from the start, lol. Second couple was unnecessary. The "Can I Kiss You" bonus was gay but the rest were cute. Their dog is SO CUTE!!!! [Vol 2 Ch 3]

Heartbreaking story. Poor bastard older salaryman meets younger boy pretending to be a rent boy for money. What starts as a scam turns to something more, but by then it's already too late.

One day, Saegusa uses a common point of interest to approach Arochi, and the two start to become closer. But once they become friends, Arochi, who seemed cold and aloof, is actually really oblivious and cute"! ✰ Student x Student ✰ Blonde x Brunette ✰ Scary looking ML, bored looking MC ⤷ Super cute, I love the progression of interest in this one.

Boy who works at bath house and is obsessed with muscles falls for rando customer...weird. Didn't like (also 19 and 27 LMFAO HELP). But Volume 2 was good. Usually I don't like 2nd volumes being about an argument, but in this case we like Takeo ☻ MC/ML are super cute together, nice smoochie scenes.

Konno is a guy shrouded in rumour: with some saying he's dark and intimidating but others claiming he's a photography enthusiast and an unexpectedly nice guy. Jealousy, envy, and an odd sort of mutual regard colors the interactions between these two young men: one who conceals his feelings behind a cheerful facade and the other whose simple-minded, pure-hearted demeanor makes his friend's previously avoidant existence rife with internal conflict" ✰ Student x Student ✰ Friends to Lovers ✰ Musician x Photographer ⤷ suchhhh good characters with a relationship that develops so wholesomely and organically. i love this one sm. great story
