A hot, sexy romp with boob fetish and loads of nipple play. This story works well in the realms of fantasy because there is dub con and no prep which some may find jarring, but it’s packed with intensity and fetish and the move to a relationship so it’s really quite appealing overall.

This was a surprising gem of a story. Iori is a sweet 18 year old country guy moving to Tokyo to attend college. He finds a room available for free of he cooks and cleans and moves in with company president Roku. Iori has some rapid adjustments to make, but the perpetually cheerful boy is no pushover and soon he and Roku become closer as they understand each other. Their interactions are so sweet. Iori is impossible to resist and his genuine and giving nature brings out the best in his roommate

I am officially head over heels in love with this story and these characters. Subaru, the shounen loving Ikeman of senior high, lives his days emulating the male romantic leads in the mangas he loves. Newly transferred student Jinnai knew Subaru in middle school and remembers him for the bullied manga addict that he was. But these two have a friendship to rekindle, and if Subaru is feeling more racing heart beats with Jinnai than the girls of the school then that’s ok...isn’t it?

A truly beautiful little collection of stories:
Chapter 1, 2, 5.5: The Daydreamer Falls In Love
-Yuma: College student, popular, straight. Overlooks Souta’s phone and observed BL. Intrigued and eventually befriends the quieter megane boy and the two become very close with similar interests. Values Souta for the way he feels in his company.
-Souta: College student, gay but not open, enjoys BL manga, vivid imagination, romantic. You can tell this sweet guy is crushing hard on his new friend.

I absolutely adored this story. Soushi-san is a 30 yo metal head who has difficulty speaking. He saved his new neighbour, Kento from freezing to death one night and from that time the two shared meals and formed a solid friendship. But Kento has a secret and hidden feelings for his beautiful neighbour that changes everything. This slowly unfolding story is beautifully drawn and full of “the feels” that make an excellent manga.

Really great story with some powerful themes. I am loving that Chiwoo ended up with Kyujin because that beautiful man put Chiwoo first and above his own selfish desires. Jihyun and Chiwoo have all those school years together but Jihyuns’ love was selfish. He isolated his friend, hurt anyone who got close to him, stole any girl interested in him. I have read stories where some of these behaviours have been part of a couples story, but what made them stand out was that the obsessive partner always

Such a sweet look at Chiwoo and Kyujin 5 years down the track. They both look to be at a good place in their lives and that last encounter with Jihyun was fantastic to see how completely Chiwoo had let go of Jihyun and moved on. Also super satisfying to see they are still hot for each other and making plans to strengthen their ties. Loved it all.

The parallel universe version I know was written for all those who had a thing for the rapist Jihyun (coz hey, he loves Chiwoo so much..SMH).

Beautiful story. This was wholesome and sweet and very considerate of those with dysfluent speech. I loved that there were no “but I am straight” moments or confusion about coming together. Instead it was a natural and even effortless extension of their deepening connection. A re read/ recommended read.

Hmm, ok. I can understand the hype around this story now. I wasn’t sure at first if I would like it but as Jiwoon’s backstory was revealed and he showed signs of caring, I really connected with the characters. Really, really such a great story.

For a smut filled story there were lots of loving and sweet moments between the characters. I love a story that has can incorporate the caring side of a BDSM relationship because it’s a big part of what makes it special. You know that safe words will be respected and the sub is safe to be free to indulge in his kink when in the hands of a dom like Evan.
