Two entirely opposite people bridge the distance between their souls through “books”.... more>>

Souta Shimizu is publicly acknowledged as an extrovert after his high school debut.

His topics with his friends are mostly learned on his phone. The content in there is interesting and exciting. There is so much you can enjoy without lifting an arm.

In contrast, reading is exhausting and time-consuming in today’s information-overloaded world.

Its cost-efficiency is incredibly low as entertainment.

Souta just doesn’t understand the mindset of those bookworms.

Until he met her during the autumn of his first year in high school- <<less

“… He passed away many years later. When I wrote his obituary, my fingers trembled so much I couldn’t even push the lens. Most things in my impression have been blurred, leaving only a shadow.... more>>

I suddenly remembered the moment when I fell in love with him. This feeling is very clear. How can I describe it better — like the wind passing through the trees, like a deer stepping over a river, like a branch of a flower caressing a butterfly’s wings. It happens to be inadvertent, but oh-so vivid and soul-stirring.”

Shen Suian unexpectedly transmigrates into a dog-blooded BL novel and becomes the doomed white moonlight sought after by four scummy suitors who end up empty-handed.... more>>

He tore up the script, adopted an affectionate persona to infiltrate the Imperial Marshal's residence, spending his days leisurely drinking tea, basking in the sun, gently teasing the vegetative lion who was in a deep coma, and amusing the warrior orphans adopted by Gu's family—a group of fluffy cubs. Life was surprisingly carefree.

As a result, one day, the vegetative lion suddenly woke up, not only recovering human form but also cornering him against the wall.

The man had a handsome face, a robust physique, and the long-standing dominance that exuded a strong oppressive aura.

At this moment, however, his brows were furrowed, eyes lowered, unexpectedly emitting a sense of pitifulness. "When I was unconscious, you kept saying you liked me the most. Now that I've finally awakened, why are you only playing with those little cubs?"

Shen Suian: "..."

Accidentally overhearing the humanized lion discussing marriage proposals, Shen Suian was thunderstruck and frightened, prompting him to flee overnight.

A few days later, there was a knocking sound at the door. The big lion sat obediently, wearing a sign around its neck: "Homeless, seeking adoption."

Seeing that Shen Suian remained unmoved, it silently lay down, its tail hooking onto Shen Suian's hand, pressing against its soft belly.

The wooden sign flipped over, revealing another line of words: "Touched the belly, you must take responsibility."

Shen Suian: Hey, Empire Police, there's a lion trying to scam me here!

I am an unfulfilled third year university student. Led on by my frenemy Ozu; pushed around by the preposterous demands of the mysterious, freewheeling Master Higuchi; unable to approach the beautiful, aloof maiden Akashi; I find myself far from the rosy campus life I had dreamed of. If this is how it's going to be, I had rather return to my sparkling days as a freshman and do it all over again!... more>>

During my first year of high school, amidst the rainy season, while enjoying living alone due to my parents' business trip, I, an utterly average guy, encountered my strikingly good-looking neighbor,  Sajou-san, on a certain rainy day.... more>>

In front of my neighboring apartment's entrance, seeing her sitting there, drenched and hugging her knees, I couldn't just leave her be, so I decided to invite her into my room. Everything was fine up to that point, but..

"Do as you please," she said, and began to take off her wet clothes. Her breasts didn't fit into the hoodie I lent her after she took a shower. She seemed defenseless, somewhat reckless, leaving me stunned.

Two days later, she unexpectedly appeared at school, presenting me with a homemade bento. Was this some sort of cosplay trespassing? I teased, only for Sajou-san to nod towards the adjacent seat. It had remained empty since the beginning of the term—a spot reserved for the absentee student. "I'm Hitori Sajou. Pleasure to make your acquaintance, neighbor-san," she introduced herself with a hint of mystery lingering in her demeanor. <<less

The child in my womb died because of my husband's mistress.... more>>

However, he was still busy protecting the woman.

“It was a mistake.

“There’s no way she did it on purpose.”

“It was our child. My child, your child! She's dead... .

“I feel like the baby is still alive in my stomach.”

I was the only one sad about losing my child. I don't even know what I gave up to be by your side. …

I can't do this anymore, I can't do this anymore.

I hate you so much now. For me, and for my child who left because of me, a fool.

“Don’t ever see us again.”

Anyway, if I turn around like this, I'm just a stranger. <<less

Isu was trapped in a building on a deserted island.... more>>

She had no memories, no recollection of how she got here.

She was rescued by one of the survivors of a plane crash that took place on the island.

Hayden Wight. A young gentleman from the United Kingdom. Representative of a security company.

Meeting him could have been a blessing, giving her the chance to escape from vicious criminals.

From his eyes to his lips and his whole body, the man also seemed to want to give her a chance to start a new life.

“I don’t know my name or my age. I don’t even know what kinds of danger I am in. That’s why it’s a bit difficult for me to be next to a man.”

Isu expressed concern.

“I mean, you could also be in danger if you were to get involved with me.”

A warm breeze blew in from the sea.

As the sand particles began to fly through the air, Hayden covered Isu’s face with his hand and replied,

“Then I’ll have to receive higher compensation. I don’t intend for you to pay me with your body, so you can rest easy.”

Unlike usual, Isu could barely control her expression. The memory of last night suddenly came to mind.

His blue eyes focused on Isu.

“Y-you’re staring at me like a filthy beast.”

Isu stammered, unable to respond properly.

Just then, the question that followed took her breath away.

“Who was it that pretended to be asleep and turned me on?”

She knew he had seen it all last night. <<less
