    Ouji no Kikan – Junko

    Story 1 (Chapter 1-2) Satake Kou attended the wedding of his sister unknowingly that he will be reunited there with his cousin, Fumihiro, who used to be a very dumb fat guy, then transformed into a charismatic prince! Kou became undeniably self-conscious about this while he is not aware of Fumihiro’s high regards towards him since they were little. And in their reunion, Fumihiro’s admiration has turned into something complex. How would Kou respond to Fumihiro’s feelings?

    Best story was the first story, the other two were more on the the dramatic side.

    Amadare no Koro – Momoko Suika

    Suguru and Yoshiichi were neighbors who were always together until the day Suguru decides to move away. When they entered junior high, as promised, Suguru came back. But he was unable to transition into their high school, so he is thinking of taking exams for other schools. Yoshiichi’s image of the Suguru who’s always by his side shatters a bit. He became upset, lonely and jealous. Even when his heart swells so much and all he can think of is him…On top of Amadare no Koro, we’ve included an epilogue of their story, titled “Engage Key Holder” and a side story of Suguru’s friend’s love story titled “Haru no Iki”.

    I feel like the artwork is messy and not easy on the eyes. The story is that familiar jr high school to high school (or high school to uni) separation anxiety between two people who are close.

    Koiike – Shisito Karari

    Omoigabuchi, a pond with a legend attached: “If two people go in together, they will be bound to each other for life.” The story of three couples who get dragged into this love pond.

    While it’s highly unlikely that school boys would care about love ponds, this is still a moderately good volume of interconnected stories.  The first couple was the most interesting one for me because it had the potential to be hilarious but the author chose to focus on the boring third pair.

    Yorimichi – Kazuki Rai

    Carefree Kenta fell in love at first sight with a girl he saw at the cultural festival who turned out to be a straight-laced boy named Makoto.  

    If you think it’s an anxious Kageyama and a taller Hinata, that’s because the author creates Haikyuu doujinshi. Cute and fluffy with realistic gay angst.
