    An enjoyable collection of stories on the theme of hidden self and secret feelings.

    Koisuru Barairo Tenchou – Mochimeko

    When he was a child, Isao was inspired by a florist named Aiko and fell in love with flowers. After saving his father’s company, Isao finally leaves his desk job to realize his lifelong dream of owning a flower shop, opening it in the same location that Aiko’s shop used to be. Right before opening, he finds out that Aiko had passed away when he meets her widower Koutarou and their young son. Koutarou is utterly devoted to his son Zen and carries on the love of flowers that Aiko instilled in him. Thus the florist Isao falls in love with Koutarou, and tries to win his heart through the flowers they both love.

    Sure, it’s cute and all but Satou is the best character.

The eldest brother in the wolf family is actually a fox… a golden fox. He knows he’s “different” from all the rest.

    Mimi ni Nokoru Kimi no Koe wa – Inoue Nawo

    As graduation gradually approaches, Miyoshi, a high school student, finally gets a chance to talk to a fellow classmate alone for the first time since they met. Due to the other student, Arai, always sleeping after arriving to school early, he’s never really had a chance to meet him until now when their time together is limited to the short period before graduation. Meanwhile he realizes his latent feelings for Arai. Arai, however, has never had an interest in school or friends, and he only really had one joy in life…

    I’m so glad he went ahead and said it: 

    “I like you… so let’s stop this from ending” 

    Atta boy, Miyoshi!
