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.
Pet Shimasu!
