1st story:
It’s tough being the 3rd son of a family, but this gets only tougher when you’re the 3rd son of a highly educated family and you can’t get more than 5 points in a test!
This is the story of Michiharu, the youngest son from an elite family who’s practically good for nothing when it comes to studies. The family is so desperate to see him pass the University entrance exam, that, as a last resort, they send him off to their relative house over the summer break to get some private lessons from none other than the super rumored “extremely gay” cousin, Natsuki.
Of course, this “minor” detail is not known to Michiharu until he actually meets the person in flesh and gets to choose between start learning or get done. Surprisingly, Natsuki’s methods of teaching prove to be easy to understand even for the most unprepared son… and soon, Michiharu not only relaxes, but wants to have a taste of Natsuki.

2nd story:
Akiyama’kun enrolls to a nail artist school dreaming of becoming a nail artist, but apparently he does not have the talent for it and Mizusawa’kun makes sure to show his disgust in every chance he gets… or is it just because Akiyama’kun is such a sticky, lovable person and he’s just jealous of his close proximity with Sensei?

Opinion:
I loved both stories! They are unbelievable cute, the first one has more plot and some steamy sex and the second one, just makes you wish it will last longer.
Artwork gets a full 10!

Review:

The red string of fate. An invisible red thread believed to connect lovers to each other. What if you could see them? Would you give in to your ‘fated’ partner, or reject destiny, and choose someone out of your own freewill? That is the dilemma Keiji faces.

As a child, despite not being able to touch it, Keiji could see the red string. Things went south when his mouth slipped and he asked his parents why dad’s string was attached to someone other than his mum. They separated. He cursed his ability.

Strangely, the timing of the red string connection with your ‘fated’ partner differs depending on the person, and Keiji has yet to have his one connected. But there’s a cute girl he’s enamoured with, and she also has yet to be ‘paired’ with her soul mate.

Soon enough, Keiji realises that his string becomes connected with someone… Could it be? Could she be the one? But no. Of course not. To the surprise of us all, pardon the major big spoiler here… it was a guy. Oh no.

I fell in love with this cute yaoi story, as it was interesting to see how Keiji dealt with his conflicting feelings. Perhaps there is a lesson to be learned here: to never go against your destiny. Because don’t we all know how this is going to end…

tough choice here - but I went with #2. It was just a bit neater and a bit easier to read. thank you both!

[laketica]

Review 1 had more of a review feeling to it, review 2 was more just for our amusement and not as much of a review as a plot synopsis, but both were nicely written for the content. As usual, I went with the one with fewer errors, since both were good in their own ways. ^^ thanks for the reviews!!

My vote is in, but you didn't make it easy...
....I'm off to read both!

[libertypo]

Ehm... and the review was... ?!

[laketica]

My vote is in, but you didn't make it easy...
....I'm off to read both!

I read the title in the 2nd review last night I enjoyed it. ^^ It had a super similar plot to my favorite manga of all time, Koi wa Ina mono Myouna Mono, or Mysterious Love~ That sort of fate that you can't escape...
