This review contains spoilers. Typical one-sided love, but I had a feeling Akira's batting for the same team too, but he kept up a pretty appearance of being a player for everyone else. I thought he was into Hibiki too when Ryusei said he & Akira had a deal, but that twist of him actually going steady with a guy was unexpected.

This review contains spoilers. Interesting premise: an unrequited love spurred Yamashiro to go after guys for one-time-only hook-ups to avoid getting his fragile heart broken, while Yashiro fell in love at first sight when he saw him by chance years ago. They both have a somewhat similar sad backstory, but they are meant for each other in a way too.

This review contains spoilers. Yuto & Toru are so adorable. Although it started off on the wrong foot, they both managed to navigate their relationship towards something good & solid. And the contrast between Fuji's family & Sasame's was obvious, given how carefree Fuji seems while Sasame's a bit on the reserved side, but Sasame's dad finally accepting their relationship is definitely a huge boost to their relationship.

This review contains spoilers. A typical plot with all the usual twists & turns, but I wasn't expecting her love interest in her rebooted life to be the former emperor who died young. Still, she found & received the love she was bereft of in her previous life. Her husband from her previous life was served a good slice of karma this time around, and he probably did care for her, but in the end she found her HEA with the second prince.

This review contains spoilers. Shirai's feelings for Takuma's brother wasn't really the kinda love one feels for a partner. I think it was more of an admiration, but once he started seeing Takuma (although purely physical at first), he got to know him in & out of the bed hence why he got the courage to invite him to hang out. It was a good, quick read without too much unnecessary drama.

This review contains spoilers. Now I'm intrigued to find out if something did end up happening between Ryo & Yui. They can't just leave readers hanging like that lol But overall, it was a good read.

This review contains spoilers. Haruto's dislike of alphas is understandable, and Sou's a sweet, non-elitist alpha unlike the other ones Haruto has come across. Hiro's a sweetheart too, I kinda wanna read about his story & who he ends up mates with. But overall there wasn't too much drama & Haruto ended up with a family, even meeting his father 20+ years too late.

This review contains spoilers. Jin & Ousei have great chemistry, just the right amount of love/hate vibes but you clearly can tell that Jin was struck by "love at first sight" after see Ousei's face when he gave him that ticket. The drama that threw a monkey wrench in their blossoming relationship didn't drag on nor did it stagger the pacing down. I kinda wanna know more of what happened, like if Ousei went to the festival after all & how Jin's customers would react after meeting his partner.

This review contains spoilers. Their dynamic is very easy going, and you know they genuinely care for each other, and it's understandable for Kyohei to not wanna bottom all the time, but them switching it up from time to time sure added a level of spice in their relationship that made it healthier in a way since they both respect & love one another.

This review contains spoilers. Ah, the innocence & uncertainty of youth. Both MCs are oblivious to what they really want/like, but they clearly have affection for each other. Well, we know of at least one who who likes the other while the other one still hasn't completely figured out what exactly is it they want or who they really are.

This review contains spoilers. Both MCs are adorable! The people are their former workplace were deplorable, but it was expected of their types of people. Karma did bite them where it hurts the most after Kei left their company. His and Genki's dynamic has just the right amount of sweetness & charm.

This review contains spoilers. They're both awkward in a cute way, and Motoya's dad is far more perceptive than Shizuka's, but then again his old man wasn't into men until he met Motoya's dad, so he can be a bit oblivious to picking up signals. Either way, everyone's relationship looks healthy & happy, and there's not much angst/drama between the two leads, which made this a cute & fun read.

This review contains spoilers. Jin was sus from the start, and I seriously doubted his sincerity about wanting Toba for his bond-mate. Banzawa's tough, and even though his family's a syndicate, he still looks & acts innocent, a complete contrast to Jin. Toba's...well, he is an OK guy, his attitude is understandable considering why he was given to Jin, but his willingness to sacrifice his own future for his family who clearly sounds to me are only after living a luxurious life is kinda not a smart & honorable thing to do, but in the end he ended up with the love of his life so it's all good.

This review contains spoilers. It's a fun, cute story. It's a typical trope, but both Saku & Azusa aren't too hard to not like. Saku is your typical "airhead" who realized a bit late that his childhood BFF actually likes him, and Azusa's the cool, calm & collected type who's a hit with the ladies but only has eyes for his childhood beastie, who he enjoys teasing via purposely jerking off while thinking of him. There was a bit of drama, but nothing too heavy or drawn out, and they both resolved it almost immediately.

This review contains spoilers. The misunderstanding is a given, and kinda cute for Sakura's part since he was clearly out of his element trying to understand Aoi. And Aoi's so cute trying to act cool, calm & distant when really he's head over heels for his chief! Hahaha I wanna read more, is this it?

This review contains spoilers. I had a feeling it was Ao-kun that got rejected at the start, but as fate would have it, their paths crossed again & they finally got together, although not without a few bumps in the road & Ao-kun getting jealous because Sakai kept hooking up with other men! Hahaha And that was a slap to Sakai's former teacher lover's face when he saw that Sakai was happily committed in a relationship while he was stuck in what probably is a loveless marriage. The role playing they did in the last chapter made them both get so immersed in their roles that eventually got Sakai hooked on doing more lol

This review contains spoilers. It was a good read that I binged it in 24-hours lol even though I knew hinata will eventually forget all her memories as Sadao's granny, still, I hoped some odd twist of fate would prevent that. But it looks like they'll still be connected one way or the other, and Hinata's grandmotherly feeling for Sadao won't be going away.

This review contains spoilers. Fidel is way dreamier than his jerk of a brother, Elliott, and the younger brother's actions were very predictable. Overall the interaction between Cierra & Fidel was nicely written, and Neil (the butler) is a fun supporting character who is ever so loyal to his prince.
