Hot as all heck Edit: First story about a single father artist who picks up another artist (gay) who was thrown away Second story about a chiropractor and his patient

Kurisu is an excellent father

The stories were all right. I love reading about families, though everyone being gay is a bit weird, yeah? The ending isn't really decisive, the open endedness gives me anxiety. Also, Hokuto being underage gives me the blechs. Even though he's nearly 18

So much potential, man! Edit: 1: Really enjoyed it, Yuuto is such a great character. Despite being so young, he offered so much support and love to the people he cared about. Both Oda and Kazushi san are really nice and just genuine people. I'm so glad Oda's unrequited love was finally answered (and that his first time was so great, he deserved it). And Kazushi san was really wonderful about apologising for taking so long, it really was such a feel good story 5* 5: Aida was cute and all, and I'm totally rooting for his happiness, but Takuya is so sweet (that kiss on the nose) and just, adorable. Not my cuppa tea, but, Hell, I envy Aida 4.5

Bit of a power imbalance, in my opinion. Shuu is far too wrapped around Shizuka's pinkie. But, it was still a loving relationship. On a side note, cousins is always a bit of a squick, yeah? Botan was really precious, though

Shii has brass balls. You win his heart, dude. You can do it. Tamaki has lived through the kind of shit that reallly messes you up later on. Slow acting poison? Something like that. Anyway, the story is so slow paced and uncertain but I don't hate it. Eager to read a happy ending 4.5

This is starting to feel kinda off, ngl

He's a bit mean, but I am not going to pretend after all these years that I am not into that. The beginning was a bit ridiculous but it evens out. Tetsuaki is arrogant but he knows what he wants and he's ready to go to any lengths to help his loved ones. I dig that. Shouta is just too diligent and loving (especially towards Fuuta) for anyone to dislike him.

1: Ao the college student teaching kindergarteners and Kurose, a parent he has fallen for (who might be dating Ao's twin). It was okay? Story was simple and scenes were hot, but I couldn't really get into it? Maybe because Ao felt really ditzy and Kurose seems like the stereotypical rich seme who falls madly in love with you, but has a mean streak. I usually like that second trope, but maybe because this is so short? Maybe that lends to it feeling shallow. 4.4 3: Story about Shirase, who's been divorced 3 times and Midori, who always gets dumped. They finally meet the person who would put up with the depth of their feelings and in Shirase's case, his crazy stamina. Again, way too short. The story couldn't be properly hashed out. This would have been a 5* story with enough space. 4.2 5: Story about Aki, Shirase's kid and his childhood friend Akane, whom he turned down in kindergarten. Akane continues to harbour his first love well into high school. This would be so, so good if the had even just 5 chapters. It's such a shame, seriously. I enjoyed the plot. I liked how Aki snapped him up, asserting his feelings forcefully and I loved Akane's innocent reluctance. 4.6 Overall: 4.4

Unrequited childhood love comes into fruition many years, a child and a divorce later. I feel like they wasted too much time? Both of them are likable characters and I'm glad they're together now, but I hate that they wasted so many years. At least Kouhei got Hina out of it. Hina is really such a lovely kid. I do think that if Kouhei hadn't strummed up the courage they'd still be stagnating 4.5
