Good stories. Most of the chaptersare about the main couple Kanae × Shina, there is also a 2-part story about a writer & a man he befriended after finding him injured & treating him at his house.
several one-shot and multi-chapter stories. the shina x kanae one was alright, but the others were kind of a mess- the writing seems to move weirdly through time and space, and the characters don't have much development, or contradict themselves easily. decent art.
Very cute stories. Older man falls in love with a cafe waiter. A writer takes care of a guy who has an abusive boyfriend. An older gentleman likes to take care of younger guys and falls in love with one.
1-3 & 7) The Scent of Temptation Shina works part-time at a café as well as a flower shop. Most days a Kanae, a salaryman and the brother of the flower shop owner, comes to have his coffee at the shop. One day a man is with him, and Shina realizes from watching their interaction that Kanae must be gay, which comes as quite a shock.
4) When I Grow Up When Tokiwa-san met Hiroto, he took to him because he looked so much like his dead lover. They become friends, but is that all Hiroto is to him, a substitute? And what role does Satoru, Hiroto's "friend with benefits," play in all of this?
