    Entrance – Hayashi Rice

    At the entrance where he told me goodbye, I still wait where he left me behind.

    It’s that one-door-closes-another-one-opens kind of thing.

    Saiaku no Jinsei – Fuji Tobi

    Koisuru Sono Jijou wa Story of Miike and his boyfriend who has a nape fetish. Saiaku no Jinsei Kawashima is a 3rd year highschool student who’s always had a shitty life. He has a violent personality so people constantly misjudge him and his actions. One day he meets Sayama, a 1st year who’s good at everything but has zero ambitions in life. Thanks to his easygoing personality, he becomes the only person who’s ever tried to understand Kawashima. These two will have a huge impact on each other’s lives. Eden Story about gods who eat people.

    Nape fetish story was stupid. Main story was really sweet. I’m glad they found each other again.
