Nagatora is a host for the money, but the women stress him out! So when his longtime hairdresser, Reina, offers to help him destress with drinks, he goes all out lets himself get taken in by Reina’s maneater side. But even though Reina’s not the type for commitment and Nagatora isn’t gay, they both find that they keep coming back. So what is this, exactly? Some fun character development for both and really pretty art, so it makes for a good read. Trigger warning: drunk sex.

Kanata is a shy, innocent university student who's anxiously fending off the advances of mafia boss Alex, or at least that's his cover. Really, he's the infamous assassin black swan, and he's been hired to kill Alex. When he finally gets his chance, Alex catches him off guard by saying he knew Kanata was after him but he's still in love, beginning their strange relationship and game of cat and mouse where Kanata could kill him at any time. Kanata is a truly interesting and complex character who I deeply feel for, and the artwork is beautiful. The author did very well. Trigger warnings: violence, murder, human trafficking, child abuse, statutory 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.

Shouta went to an S&M bar without much interest, but when he ran into rope artist Misaki, it was love at first sight. Although Misaki is used to sex being a more casual thing, he responds well to Shouta's impromptu confession, and the two begin dating. But even though they love each other and Shouta is eager to learn more about S&M to please his masochistic lover, Misaki has a difficult past that he's avoiding that begins to rear its ugly head. I liked their healthy relationship, although they do get into some harder S&M. Trigger warnings: Bondage, S&M, strangulation, gang rape, grooming, blackmail, violence.

Hana is a very pretty crossdresser, but their relationship wasn't as emotionally gripping as I hoped it would be. Trigger warnings: rape, sex work
