After passing out in the struggle, she awakens to find she’s been rescued by a beautiful mermaid. However, salvation comes at a cost—the mermaid’s protection will last only until Hinako has matured into the perfect meal!

If It's You, I Might Try Falling in Love

By Maru Kubota

When you’ve spent your entire life shrouding the part of yourself that’s capable of love, it’s terrifying when love finds you. Everyone had shown Amane that being gay was enough to push away those he cared about—until he moved to Enoshima and met Ryuuji, who was everything everyone else wasn’t. Amane doesn’t need to hide when they’re together, and his feelings quickly outgrow the veil he’d safely shoved them behind for so long. But now, Amane must reckon with something even scarier: the hope that this love could be real…

My Oh My, Atami-Kun

By Asa Tanuma

Atami-kun has a gorgeous face. A romantic heart. And a steady stream of girls asking him out at every opportunity. Which is all wonderful, except…he likes guys, not girls. An upperclassman who enjoys reading, the long-haired boy who sits in front of him, the cute worker at the flower shop—each love fleeting but sincere, and just a bit complicated. Each bringing its own joy and melancholy. My oh my…even for Atami-kun, life truly isn’t easy.

And if you don’t mind seeing a few lightsabers, we recommend…

Nomi x Shiba

By Tohru Tagura

They first met at boarding school. After two whole years of living in the dorms, Nomiya can’t say he’s ever been in love. Sure, he thinks Mikoshiba’s face is kinda cute and girlie, and yeah, Nomi’s heart skips a beat every time he sees him, but that doesn’t mean he’s in love with Shiba, all right?! He’s into chicks, not dicks, okay?!
