Student (seme) x office worker (uke) My rating: 8/10 STEPBROTHERS, PAST TRAUMA, ROOMMATES Toujou Aki lives with his younger step-brother Saku, an university student. While Aki hates women because of his past trauma, Saku sleeps around and rarely comes home. But Aki has a secret: He's in love with his little brother! He tries to hide his feelings, but what happens when Saku catches him in his bed after Aki saw him going away with two women? And why does Saku behave so strangely around him?

Student (seme) x exchange student (uke) My rating: 8,5/10 I really liked it. It's pretty heavy actually dealing with trauma and abuse, but it has a happy ending. I like the uke and the seme, they're both strong in their own way. TRAUMA, ENGLAND, SCHOOL LIFE When the uke goes to England as an exchange student to escape the school he was raped in in Japan, he meets a boy who's labelled as a deliquent one shouldn't associate with. But is that really true?

My rating: 7,3/10 It's good that they actually communicate. He's a bit of a jerk bc of his rather extreme childhood trauma and she's so kind as to marry him even though he said he didn't love her. The artist struggled a bit drawing women's faces. PREGNANCY, PLAYBOY, TRAUMA One year after her husband's death, the company's playboy, the vice president, gets interested in the president's secretary. But when he finally proposes to her, he says that they could never have children.

My rating: 7,8/10 I liked how strong and caring the FL was. The set-up itself was quite cliché, but it was a nice read nevertheless. Again, some grave trauma got thrown into the mix, but the story was rather cute. CONTRACTUAL MARRIAGE, CHILDREN A rich businessman asks a poor mother to be his wife for 3 months so he can take over his grandfather's company. In exchange, he helps her keep her daughter and pays her a hefty sum.

My rating: 7,5/10 It was alright. The ML's face looked a bit like a plank, but the art was ok otherwise. I liked that the FL didn't forget all about her trauma right away with their first kiss, it was more realistic. Her ex is abusive scum, he got what he deserved. MARRIAGE, WILL, TRAUMA Before he died, the FL's father made arrangements with a wealthy businessman in order to save his company and get her a husband. Now she has to marry the former playboy, but she isn't ready for love due to her past trauma.

My rating: 7,4/10 It was an interesting idea. You get the ML's pov and I liked watching him struggle to resist her. The grandpa is just cute. FAKE MISTRESS, TERMINAL DISEASE In order to distract his family from his worsening disease, an old billionaire brings a young woman he befriended when he went to London to get treatment back to Greece and they pretent that she's his mistress. But then his son falls for her.

My rating: 6/10 It's not bad, it's just really corny and sometimes gave me these fairytale vibes. As always, it's pretty unrealistic. The FL seems ready to die out of love making me feel uncomfortable u get the feeling that the author just loves drama. DOCTOR, BLIND, POISON When she hears that the famous surgeon she once worked for as a nurse is searching for an assistant and lives in a secluded house on an island, the FL applies and pretends to be an older woman to get in. She does it out of guilt as she unknowingly gave him the eye drops another nurse poisoned making him blind.

My rating: 6/10 These stories are so fucked up and cruel that it made me feel sick. There isn't really romance here but u get obsession and mental illness. The art is really good highlighting how horrendous this all is. ONESHOTS, HORROR 1 A twisted romance with an attempted murder 2 A former blind girl realises she has a stalker 3 A father rapes his daughter and clones her 4 A taxi driver and a scary pregnant woman 5 A girl falls for a boy with a wound fetish

My rating: 5/10 The story is interesting, the characters are likable and the art is pretty. The uke overcoming his fear of the seme's smell happens a bit too quickly but it's still beautiful. Everything's fine until the author goes and tries to justify the gang rape! What the hell, why isn't that bastard in jail?! TRAUMA, SMELL PHOBIA The uke got betrayed by his ex and gang raped in the past. Since then he's been getting sick from men's scents and always wears a mask. One day, he runs into a man who smells likes his ex but acts totally different. Maybe that's his chance to move on.
