Beast & Feast
Totally hot cop x yakuza. I've reread multiple times and love it.

3 Ban Sen no Campanella
Oh this is a special one. I was afraid it would turn into a love triangle with the high school student, but it was much much better than that. The main character's introspection, and the subtle romance developing with his boss... Definitely one I'll enjoy even more upon rereading.
Sensei, Mou Dame Desu
Shishio falling in love with Satoru was so cute!! I wish the story had more of Satoru being a little clingy, but overall it was very good. And very hot.
Ore To Joushi No Kakushikoto
Wow...this was surprisingly thoughtful. I'm reminded of Doushitemo Furitakunai. Even the dubious consent/assault was handled with more care than I typically expect. I really really love how desperately Misaki is to be accepted and loved, while also believing himself incapable and unworthy of receiving it. The dialogue of the last argument was so perfect and gut-wrenching, I could practically hear it. Not to mention the fact that despite having a ONS, Misaki and Junichirou's relationship develops so naturally out of the time they spend just hanging out. Definitely an unexpected new favorite.
Link and Ring
This had all the important things in a lowkey and realistic scenario, no huge drama or conflict needed! Only complaint is being short.
Itoshii Hito (SAKU Minori)
This was so SO heartwarming. The genuine feeling of Homare struggling to feel accepted and the way he and Junpei fit together organically, it feels so natural. Admittedly the mother passing away was contrived, but it was as tastefully done as it could've been.
Omaede Dame Nara Moudameda
Well that was super cute! With a side of artistry and metaphor, didn't expect that. The way Iku and Mito are together was refreshingly nuanced.
Hinadori wa Shiokaze ni Madoromu
The one ExR uses for their recruitment page! I reread it at least once.
