really top drawer!

holy shit- the sex isn't really the point, but damn is it hott. transfer student becomes friend with a delinquent who wants transfer guy to be his 'master.' not into s&m, so not sure how accurate their portrayal is, but i liked them trying to figure things out together and both of them, especially the MC, becoming more comfortable in their own skin. nice art.

first four are pretty brutal; interconnected stories about yakuza and a cop and the yakuza boss/handler. the timeline is kind of screwy, moving backwards and forwards, and i got lost the first time i read it, so pay attention to names and events. the last two stories are pretty interesting- desiring someone so much you have a semi-physical visitation from them. great art, great storytelling.

a kind but somewhat insecure guy who just wants to be in love and cherished by his lover. i'm not normally in the 'love solves everything' camp, but the chemistry between the mains makes them feel like they belong together and will treasure one another, and that both are willing to grow and compromise to get there. oneshot about an exec who buys a rent boy for a month. this one is a little darker than it seems, but turns out ok. great art.

Sequel to 'young bad education.' Perfect. Depicts the 'meat' of a relationship in all its warm, anxious, silly, and sexy moments.

Shy janitor with a stutter admires a salaryman at his company, and they begin a relationship. Really tries to convey both perspectives fairly and they come to a place of mutual respect, understanding, and growth, with a few bumps along the way. realistic and well-written. nice art, too.

President's son takes over family welding business without being acquainted with the industry and clashes with the company's second in command while learning the ropes. The story itself is interesting, features some non-standard points and character growth, and the scenes and art are excellent. I wish I had a man like maki-san. Well done.

Kind of predictable and the Amish way of life is a bit harsher than depicted, but I really liked the mains and the story had a lot of heart and unexpected character development. Great art, too, and the scenes were loving and hot.

I probably shouldnt have enjoyed it as much as I did because it features a lot of unhealthy, unrealistic tropes. However, the bad boy fantasy, warm atmosphere, beautiful art, and steamy sex totally sucked me in and as soon as I finished it, I wanted to reread. So, well done despite the cliches.

Sweet and kinda silly story about a clumsy new farmer and a restaurant chef who likes weird vegetables and the farmer. he's a tad forceful with the farmer, otherwise it's cute, gentle, funny, and the art is nice.

Wholesome and gentle. Really liked the characters even though we don't get a lot of backstory for them. Bonding over a simple pleasure and living life, what else could you want? Nice art, sexy scenes.
