During the fateful spring at the age of 18, a chance encounter changes Akashi's life forever.
A bit of a pushover, the shy Akashi starts his college life at his home university in Kyoto. Scared and worried, Akashi clumsily loses his wallet only to be helped by a handsome boy. Although he regrets not having gotten his name, Akashi is met with a pleasant surprise when he sees the same boy at school! Seeing as Touma moved here from another city, Akashi decides to give Touma a Kyoto tour. As the boys grow closer, Touma casually drops a confession, causing Akashi's heart to race. What is this feeling that resembles a small light that's so strongly attracted to the man who's so different from himself?
When I'm with you, everything feels so much more gentle, so much more warm.

An irresistible game of love in a neon-lit town swirling with desire... Reporter Kutani and sex worker Hiromu wind up roommates after spending the night together, and must confront the uncomfortable question of whether their chemistry was real or just part of the job for Hiromu...!
Keita Kutani, a sex industry reporter who's worked his way through Kabukicho's red-light district, hires Hiromu, a No. 1 male sex worker, for an inside report on the gay sex industry.
In spite of his reservations, Kutani finds himself completely captivated by Hiromu's carefully cultivated charms, and can't help second-guessing his strictest principle: never return to the same service twice.
But Hiromu might just be worth breaking all the rules.
Meanwhile, a magazine hires Kutani for a new assignment: to share an apartment with a perfect stranger for three months. And it turns out the stranger-turned-roommate in question is none other than the snarky, sneering, impossibly sensual Hiromu himself!
NOTE: This book contains mature content and is intended for readers 18 years of age and over. Content Warnings: explicit sexual content, sex work, references to physical abuse of a sex worker

Regular price
$14.99
In this fantasy romance shoujo, two kind-hearted characters get caught up in an arranged political marriage amid imperial court intrigue.
The birthday celebration for Prince Alvis begins with his first dance with Lady Erina... and ends with an attempt on Alvis's life.
As Alvis slowly recovers, Erina refuses to leave his side. Erina's blossoming feelings for the prince are growing stronger by the day, and as such, she hopes to close the distance between them... But for whatever reason, Alvis seems determined to keep his fiancée at bay.
Meanwhile, the investigation into the assassination attempt reveals the perpetrator's possible connection to Lillian — the young woman for whom the former crown prince betrayed Lady Erina. But why on earth would Lillian be involved in the attack...?
Unless, of course, the poisoned arrow by which Alvis was struck was not meant for him at all.
