i will explain the first story in details 1. tsuzuki hasn't seen his older brother, hajime, his only blood relative, in about 10 years. living this family-free lifestyle, he falls into some "bad" acquaintances (i found them very good friends, but i don't aprove the way they are/were living) firstly i will talk a bit about hajime: he left home when he was 24 years old, it is said later that he was in prison, because of some misunderstanding and took the blame (he stayed in prison about 10 years, just my guess, because it is said on manga that tsuzuki hasn't seen hajime about 10 years, same time when he left home) oh right, later is said that he became yakuza it's important to say that their father left several debts before dying, and hajime used these methods to pay his debts tsuzuki works helping a friend who runs a few call girls, and it caused trouble to his brother, who is yakuza hajime show up and tried to warn tsuzuki to stop working with that kind of thing, but he didn't listen to him and continues tsuzuki and his friends were caught by hajime and some yakuza, but only tsuzuki tried to resist and was severely injured. tsuzuki had to stay in hospital for 3 months because he broke his arms and legs, and hajime was the one who was in charge to help him recover hajime explained everything to tsuzuki and he started to understand everything they hasn't see each other for 10 years, so they were mm... distant? but with all these weeks they spent together, with so much physical contact, they were getting closer, just like how they used to be (and a bit more fufu) incest stories aren't my favorite, but some of them are good, like this one so bad that it is only a oneshot... 2. some old mans that can't find a job later one of them decided to follow his dream and they formed a team 3. a couple saw some woman being dumped and she thought one of them was making fun of her, so she cursed his lover but later their love broke the curse 4. did not like so i won't explain 5. a writer who can write just when his heart is broken

eichan has a trauma and gin helps him overcome

"About a young man whose life revolves around the love hotel his late father left behind, the sense of pride he takes in its purpose and the censure he picks up from others. Throw into this mix a gay romance whose premise is based upon an impulsive lie he told to protect a younger brother whom he believed to be in peril from someone he believed to be a predator, and you have an excellent, thoroughly believable story with sympathetic characters who are doing the best with the fate they were dealt." unique and enjoyable, definitely one of my favorites!

1. ryuu, an ex host, and yuuto, a college student yuuto is insecure about their relationship as he thinks that ryuu is only take this as a joke and isn't serious, but ryuu confeses that he is madly in love with him and is crazy about him 2. aoi, a quiet guy, gets insecure when tamaki's past customer hugs him and provokes him although he doesn't have any ulterior motive, but tamaki tells him that he is the only one and trust him kinda boring

"A young man works for a mycologist in the forests of Japan, studying fungi and mushrooms. Slowly, as the scientist opens his eyes to this new world and its astonishing beauty, the young man comes to love him. A schoolboy has an astonishing gift of inner sight which reveals a secret side of life when people go to sleep. A young man strikes up a friendship with a fox spirit. Aoi Aki's artwork is superb. The stories move at a gentle and realistic pace. The relationships are natural and unforced."

hojo-san is a bartender who is hit by man a lot and fall in love with one of the customers, haibara, who is a friend of the owner of the bar. haibara confesses to hojo-san but he did not believe him and declare that will make haibara fall for him and this last just go with the flow don't like that kind of uke neither seme, but the story had some enjoyable sides and i'm glad hojo-san get to know his father's true feelings

"Shoutarou, an emotionally frail middle-aged writer who was abandoned by his wife, now lives with his editor, Masami, who was engaged to be married to Shoutarou's daughter. His daughter ran away on the night before the wedding, and now, Shoutarou feels he must help Masami cope with the feelings of abandonment, all of which have been re-activated in his own emotional experience. A surprising twist challenges his assumptions that he is unloveable."

"Sakurai and Youichi meet by chance and don't seem to like each other but that is because they are similar in many ways. They both tend to keep to themselves. However, Sakurai appears to be friendly while Youichi is kinda of standoffish and neither knows how to express themselves. Sakurai wonders why his girlfriend's always leave and why all his plants die. He realizes that maybe he just wasn't that interested in them to begin with but when he meets Youichi he finds himself constantly going to his house. Sakurai doesn't understand what is going on because he has never been in love which is why he didn't understand the changes going on in him. Youichi has been pampered and shelter by his dad's friends so he is just as clueless but others around him immediately recognize that he has changed. They keep saying Sakurai is Youichi's friend or telling Sakurai that Youichi likes him which Sakurai finds hard to believe since they both think that the other doesn't like them. It was interesting and cute watching these two grow closer until they could finally admit the truth to one another. This story was refreshing because Sakurai and Youichi didn't fall in love at first sight or to fast it was a gradual progress. Both confessed to not liking the other because of the way they talk and acted but there was still something just under the surface. With Sakurai Youichi was finally able to change and express himself. Also, Youichi was able to discover his true self out of the shadow of his father and Sakurai finally has someone to care about." It's an adorable and interesting slow-pace yaoi and even though it's long and slow, i would read it again.
