I Don’t Know How to Love

By Yu Machio

Aimi may be popular, but the fact that he’s trashy is known by everyone—even himself! He’ll go out with anyone as long as he’s not tied down to just one person. But now he’s dating Kaede, a very convenient underclassman who doesn’t ask for anything and doesn’t say anything unnecessary. But isn’t it strange that Kaede’s attitude doesn’t change even when he sees Aimi kissing a sex friend? Thrown off by this, Aimi starts to become possessive of Kaede. However, his feelings don’t seem to be reaching Kaede at all…

My Beloved Supper

By Kaho Ozaki

Yoru is a vampire, a predator of the night dwelling among humans. But compared to a meal of fresh blood, he’d much rather partake in the culinary delights of the human world—fragrant stews, tasty meat buns, and sweet pastries are all irresistible delicacies to him. Unfortunately, being a vampire means he cannot stomach human food…unless he first drinks blood as an appetizer. Thus, Yoru spends his nights sinking his fangs into criminals and evildoers, all for the sake of the beloved supper awaiting him…
