Chou yo Hana yo (WATANABE Asia)
Story-wise it was ok but leave it to Watanabe Asia to bring all the SMUT. She is the smut queen. Read it just for the smut.
Kawaii Akuma
Sensei no Kudokikata
"There's no way you can run away from me-- I MUST HAVE YOU!" said the super-egotistic ex-host Hisakawa as he carried a bouquet of roses, to the beautiful yet uptight sensei, Shindo Misaki!! Under the masterful fingers of his pursuer, Misaki was assaulted by a powerful lust, which rendered him defenseless to Hisakawa's advances. Though in truth, it was Misaki's unconscious wanton responses that captured Hisakawa's heart! Hisakawa decides to pursue Misaki by becoming a clerk at Misaki's school. At a party, Misaki suggests they become sex buddies which upset Hisakawa. Hisakawa decides to resign and leave the school. With some prompting from Kaiho (p.e. teacher), Misaki looks for Hisakawa at his host club. He nearly gets raped when Hisakawa comes to the rescue. Hisakawa still decides Misaki is not ready and leaves. Kaiho and the school nurse Sera-sensei support Misaki and Hisakawa's love and the two lovers get together for some steamy sex. A slow-paced love story but not one I'd re-read.
Akuma To Keiyaku (haru)
Interesting story. Famous actor, Masato Kojima, inadvertently becomes attracted to newbie wannabe actor, Ryousuke. Due to a car scratch accident, Ryousuke becomes indebted to Kojima, but to make matters worse, he is indebted again for being saved by Kojima when he discovers his company is corrupt. Kojima comes off as a cold-hearted, possessive seme who has difficulty expressing his feelings appropriately. He enjoys bullying Ryousuke but also looks out after him and his career. Ryousuke is a shining light compared to Kojima which makes the two somewhat compatible. Ryousuke sees the good in people, tries his best, and isn't afraid to show emotion. Basically - a genki person. It's interesting that Ryousuke acknowledged he was raped which is rare in yaoi, and that it's somehow resolved because Ryousuke accepts everything about Kojima. Reread? Hmm...maybe down the road.
