This anthology starts with a lab couple and then has a couple of high school stories. They stories are all rather cute, although the first one is the best, although the age gap problem felt forced. And I do like a manga that will at least consider the possibilities of switching! All the stories have good sex scenes as well.

The beginning of the first story in this group made it seem like it would be dubious consent, but changed suddenly. Then it became rather sweet (but still perverted, because the first story group involves lots of cosplay). Then there is a story about a tutor and high school kid, and a restaurateur and private detective - my favorite in the book, as the two were very sweet together. In between are short vignettes about the mangaka's snacks and an office worker and his suddenly very tiny boss. Unexpectedly a more...tender...bunch of stories than you might think from the sample read.

A slow-moving tender story without much smut in it. It seemed like the one character was still mostly in love with someone else at the end, so it feels a little unfinished. But hopeful, which I like.

This one was a little irritating. Its about a man from a rich family and his (sadistic) butler, who I guess loves him in a rather yandere way. But I take issue with part of the premise. A man in a rich family was so oppressed as a child he quit talking and his family left so he could live normally. As the last of the family, he needs to take over, and somehow that same oppressive atmosphere is okay?! I realize that's a stepping stone in the story, but it seemed off, particularly since the servants seemed to act the same way as when the main was a child.

Good anthology. First story has an unusually forthright seme, which made up for uke I thought was a little too disinterested. But a tender story, nonetheless. Second was a cat eats story, and third has two classmates. This one was harder to figure out because the two both changed their hairstyles! Not much sex until story four, a continuation of the first. But I like the first story best.

Fairly typical story. A man misunderstands an ad flyer, hoping to learn to cook. The person who 'delivers' also happens to be his coworker. After that it's mostly looking at the art while the two get squelchy with each other. Not much story, but some good art.

This is an anthology of unexpected ukes (mostly) with a bit of masochism in each story. The master doggy one is mildly good, but I really like the story with the guy who turns into a guinea pig. There is also a story about some very demanding actor training, a chemistry experiment to help get the guy, a wolfish lover, and a threesome.That said, I find the art in this really good, but the stories all feel a little weak - basically they just move the story along as quickly as possible to the sex.

Cute, short, and a little sexy. It's a good read, but I think for most it's a better rent than own story.

This is one of my all-time favorite authors. And this is a favorite story - to which I've never seen the end, so I can't wait for more volumes to come out!That being said, this particular story has always been more on the sweet side, rather than the sexy. But this author is a really good storyteller. Both the seme and uke are unique, with clear and individual characteristics that you may not see in other characters in yaoi manga.And while the story definitely has Cinderella tones, the main character is not one to sit around and wait for Prince Charming to rescue him. Ryota is definitely a strong and independent person in his own right, and that really helps keep this story unique.

Cute story about older/younger starting a relationship. The older is gay, the younger straight - but interested! Food and cats and lovins! Sweet story without the nonconsent problems some people don't like. The secondary couple are interesting, and help move the story along.
