Hirano and Kagiura (novel)
Original Story and Character Design by Shō Harusono
Story by Kotoko Hachijo

Although his first impression was of a bad boy delinquent, Hirano's mother hen nature quickly turned it on its head. And so, over the course of the first six months together, he falls hard for the perfect man...
From the creator of Sasaki and Miyano, comes the beginning of Hirano and Kagiura's love story!
Assorted Entanglements
By Mikanuji
Discover a variety of stories about women's love, starting with Iori, a twenty-eight-year-old office worker who sets out to drown her love and job sorrows in booze. When she wakes up next to someone, she can't believe her partner was Minami, a worker at the bar who doesn't want to forget what they have!
Bride of the Barrier Master (novel)
By Kureha
Long ago, Japan was protected by five crystal pillars. Though eighteen-year-old Hana Ichise was born to one of the branch families that defend the pillars using supernatural abilities, she has lived in the shadow of her brilliant twin sister, Hazuki, from a young age. When Hana finally awakens to powers of her own one day, however, she opts to hide them out of a desire to complete her high school education in peace. That is, until Saku Ichinomiya, the arrogant yet powerful head of her family's primary branch, falls for Hana and forces her into signing a marriage contract with him. But can Hana rise to her true potential under the wing of her husband-to-be?
