"A collection of oneshots with a unique twist to some typical BL tropes." ✰ Anthology, One Shots ⤷ i like psychological stories but it was kind of boring after the first story, plus the translation is a little confusing.

"Locked out of his home one day, Mizusawa runs across Takatsu, his homeroom teacher, drunk on a bench. In a stupor, Takatsu confesses he has been watching Mizusawa for three years and kisses him. Mizusawa had no interest in 37-year-old Takatsu…until that day. With a smirk on his face, Mizusawa begins teasing Takatsu about the incident, much to Takatsu’s horror. But, when Takatsu starts attending marriage interviews, Mizusawa realizes he wants his homeroom teacher." ✰ Student x Teacher | Writer x Deliveryman ⤷ Contains student x teacher story, then one shot about writer x deliveryman. love when the younger love interest is all calm, cool, collected and bullies the flustered older one lol.

"Though his childhood friend got a girlfriend and all he could do is masturbate, unable to hold back they end up..." ✰ Student x Student ✰ Awkward, Stuttering Uke ⤷ I mean, not really a story just smut. I thought the art was kind of ugly, and the characters were kind of annoying and corny and over the top. Bro got a stutter and Hinata head ass helped him get over it. Good for them.

"It’s Christmas Eve, and Doyoung’s made a reservation at a luxurious hotel in the hopes of spending a romantic day with his crush, Hyunjin. But nothing seems to be going according to plan. They lose cell service, miss their reservation, and drive through a terrible rainstorm only to arrive at a haunted-looking hotel. When Doyoung asks for a refund, the imposing concierge insists he must participate in a game—a game that quickly turns Christmas into a nightmare." ✰ Dark Haired Seme x Light Haired Uke ✰ Uke split into multiple personalities ⤷ OMGGGG THIS WAS SO CUTE I LEGIT LOVE IT BUT CAN WE GET A SPIN OFF W RED AND ORANGE PLEASE GOD!!!! BUT YEAH this was such a good story, well written, obsessed tbh. High 4.8

"Wakou, a senior student, is in love with his childhood friend, Takeo. However, he's given up on that love and just wants to be his best friend. But one day, Takeo suddenly says "I might be able to have a boyfriend"?!" ✰ Childhood Friends ✰ School Life ✰ Student x Student ⤷ spin off of [cupid ni rakurai]. i liked takeo then but i just didn’t feel much of anything ab this story. i hate “suddenly i’m maybe bi, oh my best friend since childhood likes me? okay i’ll date him” like I DONT BELIEVE YOU!!!! who finds out their childhood friend is secretly in love w them and then switches up immediately. that’s why i don’t do friends to lovers unless it’s mutual from the BEGINNING!

"Towa and Yamato are twins with very different personalities. Yamato is loud, outgoing, and regularly gets into fights, and Towa is quiet, studious, and always suffering the after effects of Yamato's actions as he's always being mistaken for his brother. On his way home from school one day, Towa suddenly meets Mitsuru, a mysterious, young delinquent whilst being beaten up by the school gang who mistakes him for Yamato. But Mitsuru can tell them apart..." ✰ Delinquent x Quiet Twin ✰ Favorite Mangaka ✰ TW: Child Neglect, Absent Mother ⤷ i love this mangaka so fucking much. the translations kind of confused me at first but i got the gist. i love the way they draw their characters, so beautiful. and great storytelling. always a good read

As his feelings come to a head, he finally confesses to Hayato... who confesses right back!" ✰ Student x Student ✰ Extroverted Seme x Shy Uke ⤷ shy uke crushes on popular seme, not realizing seme has had a crush on uke for years. the uke's design is cute, seme is whatever. it's fine, nothing to write home about

"Kikuchi is a laid-back, thickheaded, yet softhearted high school boy. He regularly hangs out with his close friend, Seto, at either of their houses after school. One day, after Kikuchi got aroused by porn, Seto suggests helping the other get off. Kikuchi gets hooked on Seto's—who's gay and is apparently used to these things—blowjob and offers to return the favor to show his gratitude (?). When Kikuchi thinks that Seto is hitting it off with a female classmate, he feels a pain in his chest for some reason...?" ✰ Student x Student ✰ Straight x Gay ⤷ i don't really remember this too well; it's fine. nothing special

"Shards of memory with a brilliant radiance. As the seasons turn, two boys' hearts are changing. Winter brings them close to each other, little by little. " ✰ Quiet, Studious Uke x Extroverted, Guitarist Seme ⤷ [9.0] IM CRYING IN THE CLUB HELPPPPPPP. Omg it's been so long since I've read these guys that was so nostalgic. I never actually read the sequel so this was a good time a reread. So good, such a classic, have always loved the unique art style. great intro shounen ai. just a nice feel good read. makes u feel warm. just don't like the pedo teachers lmao wtf. we've def seen a lot worse in BL but still - GET OUT OF HERE STOP HITTING ON UR STUDENTS

"Deto and delinquent Zono are merely opponents. But then Deto discovered Zono's weakness. If his neck is touched, Zono will let out erotic sounds.

Deto rushed in to rescue Zono. And why was Zono wearing fancy, cute-looking clothes?" ✰ Student x Student ✰ Time Skip in Epilogue ✰ TW: Abuse, Homophobia ⤷ sadly very mid. insta love and just unrealistic story/pacing whatever. love the art as usual tho
