A boy fell in love with a priest who saved him as a child, so now that the priest has come back, he's ready to follow him anywhere. A really cute shounen ai with a decent adventure story as they seek out yokai.

Wizard Dia is sent to break the captive demon Bahamut and make him his kin, which he does using carnal pleasure. Only much to Bahamut's dismay, it turns out Dia is a slut with plenty of demon kin to go around. Bahamut overcomes his intital disappointment and tries his best to support Dia as he does his best to keep peace between humans and demons. But the king Dia answers to has a different goal than peace in mind. Dia is beautiful and the story is silly but still touching at the end. I also really like the different types of demons, even if they don't get a lot of time. Trigger warnings: noncon, sex work(?), harem.

Prince Ike has gone to defeat the demon king, but to his dismay, not only does the demon king's servant easily overpower him, the demon king himself just keeps running away from a fight. But the longer Ike stays at the demon king's castle, the more he gets to know them and starts to really like the kind and good-natured demon king. A very cute and pure-hearted romance from these two. Trigger warning: mention of suicide.

Cavo is a monster living deep in the forest who terrifies everyone who lays eyes on him, so when he saves middle-aged traveler Liam and Liam doesn't flee, he's amazed. He finds himself very attached to Liam, the only person to ever show him any kindness, even though Liam is a slut who's constantly coming onto him, which makes the pure-hearted Cavo nervous and uncomfortable. But Liam isn't quite your average human, and with strange men chasing after him, his secrets may be forced to come to light. I absolutely love this story. It has beautiful art, and the characters are very well-written, though the plot didn't quite come together how I hoped at the end. Trigger warnings: attempted rape, dubcon (sleeping), statutory rape, child grooming.

Yuuto is sick of his corporate slave job so he summons a demon named Morax with the wish to become happy. But now that Morax is here, Yuuto realizes that as long as he never admits to being satisfied, Morax can never claim the deal is finished, and life with Morax isn't too bad, although Yuuto does have to "feed" him with sex now and again. But when Yuuto's feelings start to get involved, will he and Morax be able to understand each other? I would have loved this one if it continued after the end and just had slice of life stuff with Yuuto and Morax living together in hell. It was fine though.

Kairi is an ordinary school boy until one day he comes home to find a demon in his room who announces that Kairi belongs to him due to a contract made in a previous life and pounces on him. Now Kairi has a jealous, high-maintenance (male) demon as his wife, and while it's not all bad, he can't help but worry that Raj is in love with his past life, not him. This one has interesting characters and a good setup but it fumbles a bit at the last moment to rush into a happy ending without really resolving the interesting conflicts that it had built up. Still a solid read with a sexy demon though. Trigger warning: statutory rape (probably).

Ch.1-4.1 - The lazy Demon King Val just can't be bothered to do anything, and his faithful servant Rudy hates it because he wants to get the respect he deserves. In in effort to stir up Val's desires, Rudy suggests he bring in a nightly attendant, but Val says he can't be bothered to find someone and suggests Rudy do it, which pushes Rudy over the edge and he tops Val. But the next day, Rudy has run away and Val has no idea why and no desire to do all the things Val did to keep the kingdom running, so he's off to track Rudy down. These two are cute enough and I really like the character design for the demon king. No trigger warnings. Ch.4.2 - Aoi and Takuma are fashion students in university who worked together last year for the annual fashion show, and that's why Aoi knows how impossible Takuma's designs are to work with. He's desperate not to go through that again, but Takuma has already fallen for Aoi and is determined to win him over and be his partner in everything. Short and sweet. No trigger warnings.

Ch.1-2 Demon Whisper - The priest Father Marlowe picked up a teenager with horns who insisted he wasn't a demon named Raoul. Now the two live together, but Raoul is starting to have painful fits at night and Marlowe has no idea how to help. When the two finally sleep together and Raoul perks up, they both have to face the facts that Raoul is an incubus. This leaves Marlowe unsure about his own feelings, and meanwhile, Raoul's brother is here to take him back to the demon realm. Trigger warnings: groping, statutory rape. Ch.3 Muda Na Koto Shinashyo - Hagino is a young student teacher in charge of his first class, but on his way to the school, a stranger confesses his love for Hagino, and Hagino punches him. Turns out that stranger was Sawatari, a student in his class, and now he's pursuing Hagino relentlessly, much to Hagino's displeasure. Trigger warnings: statutory rape, dubcon. Ch.4 Before Winter Comes - Tomono and Yuba were friends in high school until Yuba confessed his love for Tomono shortly before graduation and told him to think about it. Now in college, Tomono still feels weird interacting with Yuba and his barely been replying to his messages. He still hasn't responded to the last message that asked Tomono to visit before the winter came, but winter is here, and suddenly Yuba's phone isn't connecting. When Tomono realizes that he may have lost his chance by dragging his feet, that gives him the push he needs. No trigger warnings. Ch.5 Demon Secret - Spin off of the first story featuring Raoul's brother, Baldur, and an incubus he's involved with Zahan who disappeared without a word for a century but turned up claiming he did it to get a rare artifact so he could propose to Baldur. But is that really the reason? I think this one is very cute and funny. Trigger warning: cheating.

A red tiger hero once f***ed a blue demon into submission (though he was the bottom). Ten years later, the blue demon comes back to make the tiger his wife, but the tiger says he needs to learn to live in the human world and provide for him first. Trigger warnings: rape, violence, attempted rape.

Shion is a male prostitute who fell in love with the master who provided everything he needed for his trade, but when he suddenly sprouted two bumps on his head, his master never came to see him, and eventually he was taken in by the medicine maker, Noshi. While Shion is bitter toward the master he sees as abandoning him, Noshi knows that his master sent Shion here to take care of him, since his master was ill, yet every time Shion thinks of his master, the bumps seem to grow further into horns. Meanwhile, the two are in a physical relationship, and Noshi is beginning to want more and to free Shion from the hold that his master still has on his feelings. This was apparently based on Japanese folklore, and I like the premise, but the way the horns were drawn was a bit odd and inconsistent, and the ending felt unsatisfying. Still worth a read. Trigger warnings: sex work, human trafficking, child grooming.
