Dark Heaven

다크 헤븐

Shikke

Hailing from the countryside, Yuuki Haiga, an endearing and approachable freshman, quickly adapts to university life, easily making friends and winning the favor of girls. But senior Ryou Kanae is the only person that manages to leave Haiga awestruck: with his glorious long hair, stunning features, and incredible musical talent, Kanae finds a lasting spot in Haiga's mind.

When Haiga loses a bet against his friends, he finds himself at a box spa—a secluded place that offers intimate same-sex services. Fostering lingering doubts about being bisexual, Haiga sees this as an opportunity to come to a definitive answer. However, in his nervous state, Haiga is unaware that he bought time with none other than his beautiful senior, Kanae.

All Haiga asks for is an honest conversation about sexual identity, but Kanae insists on a more hands-on approach. Unable to stay away, Haiga continues returning for more, but he must determine if his feelings are genuine love or merely admiration.

Reunion

해후

Nakamura, Shungiku

Ritsu Onodera's dream is to edit Japan's bestselling novels, which makes Marukawa Publishing the best place to fulfill his goal. However, things do not go as planned when, instead of the literature department, he is assigned to Emerald—the shoujo manga department! To make things worse, his new boss, Masamune Takano, is an unsubtle slave driver willing to go as far as kissing Onodera to act as a reference for a manga artist. Nevertheless, Onodera is driven to prove himself, hoping that his good performance will allow him to transfer someday.

Onodera slowly settles into the flow of the surprisingly all-male Emerald Department, and the romantically-themed work reminds him of his high school ex-boyfriend and first love. Not wanting to think about that jerk, he focuses on learning the ropes from Takano, who behaves strangely the more he learns about Onodera's past. It all comes to a head when they finally recognize each other: Takano is the jerk who broke Onodera's heart, but according to Takano, it was Onodera who suddenly left him without a word.

Emerald's passionate editors already know plenty about romance, but they can learn even more about it themselves once they meet their one and only true love. In Onodera's case, it is only a matter of time until he realizes that he is still very much in the middle of the "world's greatest first love."

Nishi and Itou are both regular players of the solo "White Line Game," and every day they meet. Supporting each other, they are able to successfully grow in skill and continue on their individual quests. But the more their shared path brings them together, the more frustrated Itou grows. They only ever meet during this game of theirs, and though it brings him happiness, Itou longs for more of the child-like Nishi. After being kissed by Nishi, Itou becomes so embarrassed that he feeds Nishi to the sharks. With regret in his heart, he is convinced that his one-sided crush now hates him.

Nishi, however, has only one regret about the encounter—and that is the sudden disappearance of Itou. When the two make amends, their perilous surroundings change and set them up to walk the white line together for the rest of their lives.

Life: Happiness depends upon ourselves

Life 線上の僕ら

Flona

Chada

Six years ago, on New Year's Eve, two men shared a brief but unforgettable kiss at midnight. Born as an alpha, a superior secondary sex, Karlyle Frost appears as icy as his noble family name. Although the Frosts produce dominant alphas, who possess even more outstanding innate traits than regular alphas like Karlyle, the duty of continuing the bloodline still falls on him. However, this obligation only hinders Karlyle psychologically, and he develops sexual performance issues with the omegas—capable of bearing children—that his family selects for him.

To resolve Karlyle's problems, the family doctor advises that he sleep with other alphas. This is when Karlyle suddenly reunites with the man he kissed—the dominant alpha Ash Jones. Unlike Karlyle, Ash is effortlessly warm and charismatic, and kindness comes to him naturally. Even so, during their two-month arrangement, Karlyle wishes to leave any potential feelings out of it. But as they begin to meet, Karlyle feels an oddly tender attraction and attachment to Ash, knowing full well that a relationship between two alphas is but an unattainable dream.
