Marry Maiko's Love Makes People Grow

Love Makes People Grow by Marry Maiko!

"A child who wasn't loved while small, when he becomes an adult remains a child."

A timid art teacher, over forty but still confused by love, despairs of ever finding a companion. A love-starved boy watches the kindness of families all around him, but insists he doesn't need anything like that. A college student living with his long-term partner purposely tantalizes a neighbor by loudly making love. A bassist fears "weirding out" his bandmates, so he keeps his life with his male lover under wraps. A contrary professor gives himself to a self-assured colleague one night, but it’s not what either of them expect.

Marry Maiko debuts with this quiet bombshell of emotional stories!

Mayu Taumi's Sumida River Love Suicide

Sumida River Love Suicide by Mayu Taumi!

Once upon a time, two ridiculous failures met.

Kumada, once a talented rakugo artiste, had become a famously violent gang member. Uneducated Ogawa, dazzled by Kumada, had become frustrated with his own inability to use anything but the simplest of words. Together, this unlikely duo sought their place to belong in life and in love. 

Three extra tales of unexpected feelings complete this volume: one of sorrow and poetry in the early Shōwa era; another of close but distant brothers; and one that reveals the secret motivations behind the perfect... woman?

KIKUKO KIKUYA's Shameful Body

Shameful Body by KIKUKO KIKUYA

When you’re a sadist and the boy you love is a masochist, picking on him is a pleasure.

Pain doesn’t affect Yoshie... no, that’s not quite right; it feels good! Sensei's forceful massages at the Seitai Clinic are the best. But Sensei's solemn and bone-obsessed son, Mikawa, is secretly listening to Yoshie’s breathless moans! Is it only a passion for bones that excites Mikawa? Yoshie soon realizes that pain in your heart isn’t the same as pain in your body. 

Bonus! A young man loves the pâtissier who works at his dad’s café, but with their age gap, will his love ever be taken seriously?

By the same author as Entangled Circumstances and Secret Thorns!

Pure Love's Sexy Time by PSYCHE DELICO (Junai Eroki)

What do animals do in the spring of their lives? They mate! Wildly!

Four mischievous friends have met their match: their own hearts! Now that they're older, the only troubles these country boys find make them moan and pant. Kou-chan wants to confess to Kishi, but he’s full of heart-pounding doubt over Kishi’s response. Mitsuru, the serious boy pining for a lost love, is ambushed by Tarou, an obtuse, air-headed sadist, full of devotion for his darling. And who is this tall boy, beating everyone up yet shooting flowers out of the panels? Somebody needs to figure out his body language.

Psyche Delico comes out to play... all over the pages of PURE LOVE’S SEXY TIME!

isino aya's Weekend of Dreams

Weekend of Dreams by isino aya (Yume Mita Shuumatsu)

It started out as a way to prepare for a future lover. Too long denied a flesh and blood companion, his substitute—a teddy bear—is now his love object. What happens when a persistent, excessively cheerful neighbor consumes his serious, carefully ordered life? An explosion of hurtful, panicked words.

Stepping back into his quiet life, he can’t avoid what his insufferable neighbor left behind: cracks that expose his festering loneliness. Only one person can fill those cracks, but he’s disappeared.

WEEKEND OF DREAMS: With her brutally honest, trembling line art, isino aya creates a companion collection to Sink into You. Love and acceptance, joy and sorrow, desire and disgust: they move beyond simple shapes in black and white.
