1-2) Koko kara Dousuru? (What Do We Do from Here?) - 7/10
Asanuma, president of the go club, has a friendly rivalry with Shiraki, vice president of the go club at another school. How will Asanuma react when he learns that Shiraki already has his eyes set on the future?
I love the pacing, but it's quite bland. Plain and simple.

3) Kore mo Dousuru? (What Do We Do with This Too?) - 10/10
An extra for the previous story. How will Asanuma handle the obstacle in their relationship called "bad fashion"?
A perfect extra dealing with Shiraki's mom's bad fashion style -especially with how invasive it is.

4) Zutto Matteita (I've Always Been Waiting) - 6.5/10
Convenience store clerk x Customer. Riku, a convenience store clerk, has a habit of biting his nails, leaving his nails all-rugged. Takatou, a regular customer, notices this, and starts a unique interaction between a clerk and a customer.
The characters were well fleshed out for a one shot, although the love between them weren't quite as fleshed out. Could I just say I hate the senpai?

5) Utsukushii Hibi wo (Beautiful Days) - 5/10
Chiaki, after turning 18, learns that he is to serve as the Inugami's (Touga) wife. What will happen to the two of them?
Perhaps a lot. But nothing much happens in the story. The plot seems to be a pilot chapter, given that it was hinted that Chiaki had already met Touga when he was young although it was never actually revealed what happened. Plus, the story ends with Chiaki still uncertain with his feelings, while Touga is willing to wait.
This type of plot is overused, although the execution of the story (the pace and everything) makes up for it.

6) Subarashii Sekai (Splendid World) - 6/10
In a world where glasses are no longer solely for eyesight correction, are the glasses really worth it?
It has a bit of philosophy given the theme of the story, which is a huge plus for me. Plus, the plot is perfect for a one shot.
On the other hand, I dislike how it was addressed in the story that it's weird to suddenly ask out someone you've just met, yet it still ended with a kiss. Seems contradictory imo.

1-2) Pet Shimasu! (I'm the pet!) - 3/10
A story about a boy (Morioka Shizuru) whose dad left him and his mom, leaving a huge debt behind. Because of the enormous debt his father left, his mom can no longer pay for the house bills, ergo, having unpaid rent to the apartment owner. His mom, sick of hearing mean words from the owner, asks him to be the one to go over and notify the owner of the delayed payment. As the title suggests, Shizuru then becomes a temporary "pet" of the owner, acting as a replacement for the owner's dead dog, Catherine.
The first chapter showed how Shizuru became attached to the owner, and the second chapter ended with their feelings connected.
Aside from the fact that this type of plot is overused, it also failed to build up the romance. It's like in one page, Shizuru's pissed off at how he's supposed to act, then the next page, he suddenly wants to stay as a dog longer to be with the owner.
Shounen ai, although there's an extra after ch.2 showing a bit of yaoi.

3) Love Drive - 5/10
A story about co-workers, one (Saeki) of which is from Tokyo, and is mean to the MC (Ogawa). Due to some unforeseen circumstances at work, and non-existent driving skills, Saeki requests Ogawa to accompany him. The day ends and a misunderstanding arises.
The misunderstanding brought secondhand embarrassment, although just to the right amount. Saeki's previous behavior towards Ogawa wasn't brought into light though.

4) Manager is a Dangerous Job - 5/10
Nakatani is the manager of Kamijyou Hikaru, the current top idol with non-ideal lifestyle (drinking, smoking and women). Nakatani is forced to keep his eyes on Hikaru so as to protect the idol's reputation. Hijinks ensue.
Again, another overused plot. *spoilers?* I like how Hikaru stopped midway because he knew it wasn't consensual, and settled for skinship (although that's still sexual harassment of some sort).

5) It's a Secret for Onii-chan - 4/10
Masaka Kore side-story (I haven't read it yet /*will update this after*/)
A story about co-part timers in a convenience store.
*spoilers?* The newly hired guy is similar to the other guy's big bro, and the other guy takes interest in him. It's one-shot story and there really isn't much development except for them getting together and the clarification that he does not have a brocon.

6) My Lover as My Bodyguard - 3/10
Rich kid takes pity on poor kid. Rich kid makes poor kid his "slave" (not really XD just someone that tends to his every whim).
Overused plot and flat characters. I find it funny that their names are Aoi and Shouta though (✿´ ꒳ ` )

7) This is Surely Love - 6/10
Masaka Kore extra (I haven't read it yet /*will update this after*/)
*spoilers?* Uke leaves his boxers at seme's house to have a reason to go over (and have sex). That's just it. But it is cute, and does show an ounce of how the uke loves the seme and how the seme reciprocates it.
Dat ass tho.

I love how there was no drama about the love triangle (or square or pentagon), and that Yui already had a clear cut decision right from the start. He seems to be too open to just let Kai just kiss him (and compare Kai to a dog, hahaha)

I want more slice of life thoooooooooo

I want more!!! >n<

Cute. I think it would've been more anticliche if haruka's the uke since he's the aggressive one, hehe

I hate the seme's personality, and how it's not addressed in the story. The uke is too forgiving imo :<

apparently read way before:
"dropped in the middle of ch3 sexual harassment and rape ughh 0"

"why did i continue reading after a few days? lol. anyway, okay naman sana ung intent ng author (like requited love feels nice ganern) but ung execution is shit. afterwards is cringe. stupid seme who only knows sx ughhh" // from ch5

It felt rushed and cut short, would've liked it better if it was longer. Still, cute read.

apparently read way before: "Not enough depth of the feeling But after all its good" yeah... too fast. too rushed. and di maganda tapos (bitin/random end) 4/5 And I like how Iida being a big eater is a running gag throughout the chapters, especially the "Cafeteria Granny Award" part... //bm is cut off"

AAAHHHHHH, it hurts T^T can't they be stepbrothers and lovers at the same time? AAAAHHHHH
