Yul (Yurugi) creates an AI that he gives out (to test and further develop through learning and conversation) to a retired developer, Manaka sensei. Story follows both slowly falling in love with sensei in different ways. Yurugi is so fortunate to be so little concerned with the jealousy and ill wishes of others, as to not even notice his classmates ganging up on him. But he is luckier still for being surrounded by such capable and kind people like Manaka sensei, Seiki senpai and his professor. I am really glad they managed to protect DD, I was actually on the edge of my seat about that. This is so unique, as far as stories go, and their relationship is so wholesome and grounded. My heart breaks for Manaka sensei who had his work stolen in the past, though. Wish there could have been some repercussions. 5

Magnolia is a forest fiend who loves the altogether too human Emille and loses him over and over and over. You see, fiends live forever, and humans, not so much. Emille is reborn a hundred times and Magnolia loves and watches him grow old and burries him for centuries. So incredibly sad and beautiful. My poor heart. So unique, love the time skips, the suspense, the storytelling. Superb. 5* Yui is a disillusioned young guy who can't stand the sight of his pretty face that seems to be all he is valued for. Until he meets Nishino, who could care less about Yui's face I loved Nishino's personality. The no-nonsense completely sincere and just frankly self assured manner he excudes, ahhh. "I no longer think the luna moth's wings are prettier than you". My. Heart. 5* Shin is an astronaut carrying out a mission on a distant planet, testing it for habitability. His every day ends with reporting his mission to his colleague and friend Rukiya, who is dirtside on Earth and everynight is spent with the AI Rukiya built who can transform to look just like him. When his mission ends and he sets a course for Earth, though, things take an unexpected turn. So heartbreaking, good Lord. How could they have been so close yet so far? Never leave things unsaid. An unbelievably unique yaoi plot. Incredible. Definitely nothing "pandering to teenage girls" about this at all 5*
