I Love You, Black Coffee – Yamashita Tomoko
It started from “Love”. A man who confessed his love to another man. A man and woman who enjoy talking about shared hobbies. A woman waiting to meet up with someone. At a certain café, three different groups coincidentally come together. Two of the part timers there also get involved, and small dramas ensue. Yamashita Tomoko’s worlds, created with her wit and ability to make touching stories, are now available in this treasure trove of her works. In addition to her title work, there are six unpublished stories and extras!
Yamashito Tomoko’s unique take on BL stories that are poignant, bittersweet and cute.
La Campanella: That gloomy, pessimistic tsundere we can’t help but fall in love with
Love’s Magic Word Is…: A gaming otaku who talks in gamer-speak kissed his friend the night before. Awkward conversation ensues the day after. I’m guessing more kisses tomorrow
Saturday, Boy, Phenomenon: Man was a victim of homophobia as a kid and now he claims he was abducted by aliens. Poor guy! I’m glad they meet again.
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice: not your typical BL story. Middle age man who claims to have magic befriends a teenage girl. Man pines for lost love and girl discovers her magic. More of this, please!
Cu, Clau, Come: A man gets off at watching the man he loves eat so he feeds him almost everyday. The going was good until that goddamn bombshell and then there were ninjas chopping onions.
Once Upon a Time in Tokyo: The love of his life was staring at him through the glass and he was just staring back! Do something!
Je T’aime, Cafe Noir: Nosy cafe employees eavesdrop on their customers and subtly intervenes on their conversation. Also involves love confessions that came out of nowhere. I like the setup.

Toxic – Miyamoto Kano
The last thing Arata expected was for his cousin that he’d almost forgotten about to show up on his doorstep. But it soon becomes apparent that Kazuto is not what he appears to be.
I know it says supernatural but that ghost thing seemed to just come out of the blue.

Osananajimi wa Boko no Hero! – Mizuki Tama
Haruzake Nao is a sweet boy who has started work at a flower shop. His cousin, Monjirou, is the intimidating Vice President of the Tadano Group. Since childhood Monjirou has protected Nao from all sorts of trouble.
While Monjirou may harbor secret intentions towards Nao, Nao himself may think of Monjirou as more than just a childhood friend. Monjirou is, after all, his hero!Ugh! Fucked up and cliched. There’s innocent and there’s weak and stupid. There’s protective and there’s creepy and obsessive. Guess which one’s what.
Monjirou and Nozawa was a better ship.

Switch – Naked Ape
Eto Kai may look like a squeaky clean kid, but the Greater Kanto Narcotics Control Division’s new investigator hides a violent alter ego and a dangerous past. With his stoic partner Hal Kurabayashi, Kai is assigned to track down and stop the distribution of Dragon Speed, a dangerous new drug. But Ryugen, the syndicate trafficking the drug, is almost impossible to infiltrate. Add street violence and a jurisdiction war with the Meguro Police, and poor Kai is in for some very long days at the office.
Riveting narcotics drama but with shounen ai so low-key it’s almost non-existent.
