    Toubou Kinshi! – Sakurai Ryou

    Tannai who works in the PR Department at a soft drink company met Okano, a co-worker, at a product promotion event and they quickly grew close. While his heart is fluttered by Okano’s scent and body, he spend his days avoid thinking deeply about it as if he’s running away from something. Until one day, led by alcohol, he finally laid a hand on Okano…?!

    Toubou Kinshi: hmm…i’m not convinced…

    Ayakashi Yome Nikki: smutty nonsense

     Okyaku-sama wa Gokigen Naname: slightly better than the rest

    Blood Heat: vampire nonsense

    Itoshi no Mirai-kun – Yoshida Yuuko

    The heartbreaking story of Mirai, a pushover type of guy, who is easly engaging in relationships with anyone who confessed to him to fall into dependency. Told from the POV of his childhood friend Hibira, who cares deeply for him.

    Endless World – Jaryuu Dokuro

    Ikki, an optimist who isn’t afraid of anything, begins working at a small restaurant when he finds himself charmed by the owner. It’s there that he runs into Ryuu, and from Ryuu, he hears Toshimitsu’s name, one that’s oddly familiar.
    Neither Ikki nor Ryuu can seem to get away from Toshimitsu, and now their mysterious shared past will lead to an unknown future.

    An NSFW manga with drugs and abuse but somehow managed to be evocative, intense and emotional.

    Hitorijime no Jouken – Nakata Akira

    Miyama, who’s always had one-night stands and won’t have a serious relationship with anyone, has an unrequited crush on his colleague, Imoto. Even though he already made up his mind about not sleeping with Imoto because he loves him, for some reason, he ended up sleeping with him anyway. Although he wants to pretend that none of it ever happened and return to their normal relationship like before, Miyama can’t forget that night’s heat no matter what… 

    The Condition of Monopolization: glad Miyama finally found the one with Imoto but their story was boring
