3,6 von 5 Sternen
Vor allem die erste Geschichte hat mir wegen des Eifersuchtsthemas sehr gefallen. Die anderen waren auch niedlich.

First story: Lover's Position (Chapters 1, 2 & 3) - Hayato & Jun

The story is told from Jun's perspective. Jun is finally going out with is much admired crush from high school, his senpai Hayato. This story tells of how they encounter each other again and start over afresh as lovers. But Jun still feels insecure because of Hayato's beautiful best friend Motoki who was Hayato's lover in high school. Whenever the best friends meet up Jun is excluded and his feelings of in adequacy are made worse when Hayato prioritises Motoki over him.

I honestly found Jun to be a little annoying, I mean sure Hayato isn't exactly wearing his heart on his sleeve or anything but he liked Jun enough to get him a ring for his birthday. I feel as if he should have at least spoken to Hayato about it before he was driven out so Hayato could look after Motoki or at least confronted him when he overheard them talking. Not that Hayato didn't have his flaws, the most glaring being his tendecy to put his friends before his lovers. I was super satisfied with how it ended though.

Second story: Love Damage (Chapters 3 & 4) - Naoto, Aida & Sawada
Naoto always gets dumped by his boyfriends because they prefer to get married and have kids.

One day he awakens to find someone strange in bed with him and to make matters worse his boyfriend walks in and sees them together and promptly dumps him. He goes drinking with his friend (because that's what you do after you have drunken sex with a stranger) drink more! He sees the man who he slept with chatting with a woman and accosts him. It turns out this guy works for a break-up company and Aida paid Sawada to break them up. Oh dear. Not that I don't understand where Aida was coming from but I think he should have confided the situation with his family troubles in Naoto. I think it would've hurt less that way.

**Grammar**

I liked the first couple and i think the 2nd one is nice. I am happy for Jun that finally was able to stay with the sempai he loved in High-school, Hayato, but he must have be really sad in the past, seeing all the time the man he loved with that other guy. I pitied a bit the 2nd uke, bcs he always got dumped, but in the end he made fall in love with him the hottest guy, so he got lucky ;p
