So, yeah, I liked this mostly because I went looking for something light, something to pass the time and not too drama-ey, with hot mansex, of course. If you want something meaningful, life-changing and completely free of cliche, uh, I think it'll be better if you read something else. Just a suggestion.
First Story-- Story mentioned in the summary above. It's cute and sweet. Yeah, yeah, it isn't the most original story but it's not like you'd expect meaningfulness in every story you come across when delving into the deep wondrous realm that is yaoi.
Yuu and Hikaru meet, have feelings, have fluff, then some sexy times ensue. I would have thought Taku(Yuu's manly childhood friend) to be the seme if I hadn't read the summary at first and I would have gone for him from the very beginning. I find him hotter than Hikaru but Hikaru and Yuu are cute together so it's all good. (Yuu is the type of uke I would love to tie down and screw senseless. Heh)
Second Story-- This story is about Kei, the uke in this story, a beautiful but troubled high-school student(with manipulative tendencies) and the new trainee-teacher who, surprise surprise, sees the real Kei. Some teenage drama, a dash of tsundere-fluff, and of course: hot smexy mansex between sensei and student in school.
I'm not a big fan of sensei-student relationships, in either normal hetero-manga or yaoi, and rarely do I make exceptions. This wasn't one of them. Sorry. I prefer it when the student is the seme to balance out the relationship dynamics and even then do I rarely like the trope so my judgement on this story might be pretty bias. Beautiful kid with issues meets understanding adult, they be gettin' it on, conflict resolved. Even with an uke as adorable as Kei, I didn't find his attitude in anyway endearing despite me usually loving me some tsundere/normal angsty high school kid.
Third Story-- Story about a couple with an established relationship, which was a pleasant surprise. I found myself really liking this one.
It's Aya and Shunsuke's first year anniversary but Aya, our uke, is a bit troubled that they haven't done it yet even when he feels a bit guilty for not being satisfied because Shunsuke is really affectionate and caring. Stuff happens, Aya takes initiative, which I just loved BTW. I love it when the uke ties down the seme and gives him a sexy ride. Uke then feels guilty for forcing himself on the seme but finds out the seme hadn't made a move because he wasn't sure if the uke wanted anything 'more'. Some more sexy times with a touch of more fluff.
The uke here isn't as fem as those in the other chapters who could pass as girls in shoujo manga if you lengthened the hair just a bit.
Fourth Story-- So, we have our really cute [girly] uke who's had a crush on his really hot dentist, Kashiwagi-sensei, for a whole timeskip of 8 years. He schemes to get the dentist's attention by getting cavities, eating Ichinose-san's sweets.
Our uke's plan backfires, learns Ichinose likes him, gets troubled, runs off to confess to doc, ends up feeling like Kashiwagi doesn't feel the same.
Baker-guy and Dentist-dude get into a fight behind uke's back. Dentist-dude confesses he wanted to wait until uke-chan graduated from high-school since they have an age gap of 9 years but now it's out in the open that he does like our uke after all. Sexy times, baby, sexy tiiiimes, which was pretty hot, ignoring the hebophilia.
I know I made it sound, er, less than appealing but I ended up liking this for some reason. Seriously. Weird. I found it pleasant and quite sweet, and at least the seme wasn't an ass who took advantage and stuff.
Fifth Story-- OMG, YES. Sorry. It's hard to find manga with Incubus!semes.
giggles madly in the fan-girl corner. PWP? Yes, please!
And, OMG, TENTACLES!!! TENTACLES IN YAOI!!! I CAN DIE HAPPY! Though I wish it was longer. Sigh. Whatever. Loved it, even the sweet ending.
