Sangen Tonari No Tooi Hito
"Mitsuya was always chasing after his brother and his brother's friend, Noboru. In time, his feelings for Noboru turned to love and he forced a kiss on him, which was violently rejected. Shocked, Mitsuya shut his heart off from the world until 10 years later, a fateful reunion provokes shattering self-realizations. This story has a maturity and realism that elevates it beyond standard yaoi. The main character is a jerk, but surprisingly sympathetic."

"Iga and Yuu are working on a landscape project. Iga was gonna be the heir of his dad's company but his dad told him the heir was his little brother. A confused Iga moves on another project and there meets Yuu, a guy who loves photography and works at his dad's flower shop. Actually his dad is his uncle, Yuu's parents died when he was a child and his uncle adopts him, his uncle is in a gay relationship and that shocks Iga a little, but with the time he's gonna realize he has feelings for Yuu as well as Yuu has feelings for him and they give it a chance."
Tsumasaki Ni Kourozu
"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."
Sorenari ni Shinken nandesu
"A father is stressed beyond his capacity to cope while trying to raise his preschool-aged daughter while working in a Japanese restaurant. He is saved by a hopeless flirt and serially unfaithful gay customer who is attracted to him, but he is straight and very suspicious of such a flighty man. The relationship takes time to develop and is full of realistic emotional responses." one of my favs
Konya wa Take-out nite
"A gorgeous collection of stories by Minezuki Akira: (1) The first story isn't as engaging as the other two. In it, a fast-food manager falls in love at first sight with a proficiency expert sent by the parent company to monitor his shop. (2) A ghost or demon who feeds off of human warmth falls in love with a medicine seller who travels on his mountain during a snowstorm. (3) A sculpture student falls in love with his mentor, an artistic genius who sculpts by touch. The art is so beautiful."
Kocchi Muite Waratte
"Asano is gobsmacked when Kakei, a taciturn coworker, suddenly ups and confesses. Asano can't imagine what Kakei sees in him, and so far, it seems that Kakei is wondering the same thing, which makes this a surprisingly funny story."
Wonderful Days?
"It's strange to call a story realistic, when it's about a drop-dead gorgeous male model (Ray) who happens to be straight, and his best friend from school (Shingo), who's so smitten he blurts out that he's gay the minute they introduce themselves to each other. In every other respect, Shingo is completely discreet, keeping even his crush on Ray so quiet, Ray is unlikely to learn of his feelings. What does it take to change a stalemate? As usual, Tenzen Momoko outdoes herself for believable characters, an interesting story and some really funny moments."
Renai Moratorium
"To avoid being cornered by some fangirls, Kisaragi Rei, a popular AV actor, forces a kiss on Sasaki Manabu, a stranger who turns out to have a connection to Rei's past. As an apology to Manabu for using him like that, Rei first hands him an AV, and then, when he realizes who he was, tries for a better apology. Manabu has a different idea, though. As usual, Mio Junta's drawings are so beautiful and the story is cute as can be."
