Akiha is plagued by the fox spirit that haunts his family and has currently inhabited him. It makes ears and a tail pop out and causes him all kinds of trouble by taking over his body to get blackout drunk or dig up the yard, and whatnot. It's gotten worse lately, so he decides to move in with some relatives who own a temple while attending college, and that's where he meets Yukuri, a second son of the temple who is beloved by all animals. At first, it's annoying to have the fox get all over Yukuri in Akiha's body, but when Yukuri asks the fox to behave during the day and it actually works, Akiha starts to think they may have a solution. But as he spends more time with Yukuri, Akiha can't help but worry Yukuri is only with him out of pity for his situation with the fox, making it difficult to trust his affection. I like Akiha and the fox spirit a lot, both are very cute, and Yukuri is a good seme. Trigger warning: possible attempted rape?

When Takeru goes to clean out his recently deceased grandfather's house, he gets a passionate greeting from a nine-tailed fox who was friends with his grandfather. It turns out that Takeru's grandfather promised the fox, Kazune, his heart before he died, and with Takeru's grandpa gone, the fox turns to getting energy from Takeru instead. But as their relationship progresses, Takeru begins to struggle with what his grandfather meant to Kazune while Kazune doubts they can really be together. I like the characters in this one, even the grandpa, though he doesn't get much screen time. Trigger warning: noncon.

Kouran is a red-furred fox who was abandoned by his white fox clan due to his fur color and nearly sold for his coat when he was saved and given a new name by Beni, king of the beastmen. Although Beni immediately recognizes Kouran as his mate, Kouran fails to realize and instead sees himself as a page striving to pay back Beni as his benefactor. Meanwhile, Beni is frustrated that not only does Kouran not realize Beni's his mate, he also doesn't recognize Beni from a forgotten past they share. Trigger warning: discrimination.

In a world of beastmen, Kuzunoha the fox attends a school divided into factions. He's fine with everyone except the wolves, who still participate in an old and violent tradition of pelt-reaping, which Kuzunoha fears more than anything. One day he goes into the forest not knowing a pelt-reaping is in progress and he ends up relying on a schoolmate, Shirou, whom he's only met once to get out of it. An interesting but bizarre setup, would like to see more. Trigger warning: threat of murder

Kanata and Kuro are childhood friends bound by a strange village tradition in which the firstborn of their respective families are symbolically married once per year, and this is their first time. While Kanata doesn't mind this situation as long as it's with Kuro, Kuro doesn't believe in the tradition and Kanata worries Kuro doesn't like him as much as he likes Kuro. Also includes the story of (I think?) their parents, and a follow-up where a an outsider from the village tries to win over Kanata. No trigger warnings.

Kiyo has just entered school for civil service in the capital when he gets lost in front of a huge mansion. The owner, Ozaki, notices Kiyo and says he knows his grandpa, then invites him to live in the mansion. As the two live together in the mansion, Kiyo learns that Ozaki is a fox spirit who claims to hate humans, but he's kind and Kiyo starts to develop feelings, even as he worries Ozaki only sees his grandfather in him. Cute story with good visuals. No trigger warnings.

Kokonoe is the last fox in the forest, and one day while patrolling his territory, he happens upon a young bird who fell out of his nest. While Kokonoe initially picks up the bird to eat later as "emergency rations," he eventually can't let go of the child and decides to raise him as his father, giving the child the name Yosuga. But when Yosuga the hawk grows up, he and Kokonoe both start to yearn for a deeper connection between them, despite the barriers of species and gender, and Kokonoe feels he's stealing from Yosuga what it means to be a hawk, so he must let him go. If you're squeamish about incest themes, do not read. Otherwise, I think it's a fairly touching and interesting story with beautiful art. Trigger warning: incest themes (adopted parent x child)

Akira Abe and Tamaki Homuraya are both teachers at a school, but one day on his way home, Akira sees Tamaki go with a man into a back ally, then grow a tail and ears. Akira drags Tamaki home and learns that he's a fox spirit who subsists off of semen, and he needs to feed, so Akira offers himself, only to find that when they kiss, Tamaki gains a seal on his tongue and becomes Akira's shikigami due to Akira's unknown onmyoji ancestry, making Tamaki the only man he can feed from. Both men know this relationship can't continue, but they also kinda like it? Trigger warning: noncon(hypnotism).

In an omegaverse/beastman world, Sachio Kurumizawa is an omega mouse, possibly the worst combination as he's prey to pretty much anyone. He works as a manga author to support himself while leaving the house as little as possible, but to make matters worse, his editor Ukano Shinobu is an alpha fox, the natural enemy of a mouse like him! When Sachio goes into heat due to a drug, Ukano offers to help him get over it faster by having sex, so the two begin a physical relationship, but Sachio finds it hard to trust anything the seemingly carefree fox says, especially when Ukano might just be trying to eat him, after all. Second volume follows their relationship after they start dating. Trigger warnings: drug(heat inducer), attempted rape, cannibalistic themes.
