2.5 stars. It was okay. It felt like there was drama, but no emotion to connect to, and no reason for some actions. This was definitely a rent, not a buy for me. *** Mild Spoilers*** He acts like a homophobe, and is mean to his brother's boyfriend, but the only reason is because his female childhood friend that he has a crush on is a fujoshi and keeps trying to turn him gay, which he expresses mild frustration over. Once he ends up realizing he likes a guy, he gets over it real fast. Again, the emotions expressed don't match the language or actions. The only character I felt a connection to was Ayumi(?), his other friend who has a crush on him, but also has to listen to his homophobia. The second book in the series is his story, so I'll probably read it.

They were all okay stories. Worth the $2 rent, not worth a buy.

This was a cute, silly story. I thought the art was pretty. It's fluffy, with a little drama from a mischievous wizard cousin. Chapters 1-5 are about the main couple, chapter 6 is about the cousin.

I'd actually give this 4 stars, but I'm adding an extra star to make up for the 1 star review, which I think is unwarranted. It's common to have multiple stories in a book with the description only matching one of them, though it should be tagged Yaoi Anthology. This is a collection of 5 or 6 smutty, surprisingly sweet stories. One or both parties usually have a secret crush, and it goes from there. Each story was a decent length with solid characters that I would have liked to see more of. It's all fluffy stuff, no drama or serious back stories. I rented then bought. It'll be an occasional reread for me.

2.5 stars. It was okay. The art was pretty good. I didn't connect to anybody except the little brother (he was adorable). I didn't really feel romance, and there was an odd flow. You barely get to see them as a couple. And if you're fine with a blah story if the smexy times are there, well this doesn't have that either. Short smut scenes with little detail. For all that this was book length, it appears there may be another volume. There were a couple of plot points left open (mild spoilers: the dad, the guy with the camera), but they aren't cliffhangers. It just feels unfinished. I'm glad I rented. If there is another volume, I won't pick it up.

4.5 stars. I thought this was a cute and funny straight/gay coworker to lover story. No angst, and very little drama. Just a light, fluffy, comedic story that I'll come back to from time to time. Worth the points IMO.

Adorable smut. That's really all there is to say. Lots of smexy times with an uke who can't get enough and a seme who thinks he's the cutest ever. The high school romance with flashbacks to how they started out is a story that's been told before, but it's done well here. All the stories are about the main couple, though two of the short stories are from different character's viewpoints, and the last one is a bit... well, taboo? Blurring some boundaries for sure. All in all, definitely worth the buy IMO.

A fun collection of stories. The main story jumps right in. No subtlety whatsoever. Just pure, smutty, lighthearted fun with basically no drama. It's also the longest. I loved it. Most of the stories are the same, but there was a dark back story for a character in the second story. It's not very detailed (I think it's covered in one to two pages) but TRIGGER WARNING for family and sexual assault. The stories are all good and happy, and the art is great. Everybody's cute and blushing. I do wish some of the one shots had been longer to better see the couples after they got together, but still worth the buy IMO.

A cute collection of pure and smutty love stories. Some are a couple chapters, others only one. Some stories have no smexy times, others that's basically all you get (nothing too graphic), but it's always clear there's love in every story. I kind of wish there were fewer one shots, so some stories could have had more chapters. I rented this. I'm debating whether to buy it. I probably will as I love cute stories. And animal ears.

I normally like this formula, but it kind of made me... sad? There were funny moments throughout, and it finally got cute in the last chapter, when you got to see from the tsundere's viewpoint. Overall, it felt bittersweet to me which is weird because the story itself isn't that sad. I don't know. I'm glad I only rented. Also, the art was kind of unusual. Proportions were off sometimes. An MC would be standing and his foot would be the same size as his head. There were some Ken Barbie anatomical moments, which is odd because there was the normal censor stuff during smexy times. Bodies were also strongly drawn so sometimes things like fingers looked skeletal. Not bad art, but it didn't flow like I'm used to.
