It’s the moment the girls have all been waiting for: the Izu camping trip! From beautiful volcanic rock formations to unique foods (like wasabi ice cream!), Izu is a scenic peninsula with a lot to offer travelers. But while the rest of the Outdoor Exploration Club are heading there by car, Rin decides to ride all the way down on her longest scooter trip ever. This adventure is guaranteed to leave some lasting memories!

Nadeshiko's falls deeper and deeper in love with camping, and Rin's learning the joys of group camping for the first time! This time, everyone's going together...!

Ever since the beginning of winter break, the Outdoor Exploration Club has been saving up to buy the camping equipment of their dreams. Now it’s time to splurge before their next trip—to Lake Yamanaka! But while Inuko, Aki, and Ena have some camping under their belts, could they be underestimating Mother Nature a little too much? It may be difficult to have a laid-back camp when it’s freeeeezing…!

Ever since Rin began talking about the unique joys of solo camping, it’s been on Nadeshiko’s mind—and now she’s intent on trying it herself! But while Nadeshiko has her heart set on going it alone, both Rin and Nadeshiko’s big sister, Sakura, can’t help but worry. Can such an easygoing girl handle the outdoors all by herself?

The New Year is right around the corner, and there's a big question on all the girls' minds: Where should each of them go to see the first sunrise of the year? Whether it's by the ocean or in view of Mount Fuji, there's no wrong answer-and it's a great excuse for more camping! A freak snowstorm could derail Rin's plans, but a little bad weather might just create the perfect opportunity for more relaxing, exploring, and (of course) eating!

Dating? Me and Sasaki-senpai…? We’re not like that! At least, those were Miyano’s thoughts until Sasaki gifted him chocolates on Valentine’s Day. Faced with the reality that Sasaki might like like him-in a BL kind of way-and the jarring realization that the senior’s graduation is fast approaching, it’s time for Miyano to confront his true feelings…

What is Sasaki to Miyano? The question rings through Miyano’s mind as he struggles to come to a decision. After all, Miyano likes girls and not guys…right? Meanwhile, surprise reunions with old crushes and Miyano’s first drag beauty pageant push Sasaki’s self-restraint to the limit…

Sasaki is...Sasaki is what to me? A heated exchange between the two leads to absolutely nothing. Well, Miyano isn’t living in a BL story, so that’s fine, right? Except Miyano feels like he’s going to explode, because he can’t stop thinking about hugging his upperclassman...and taking care of him...What does it mean to like someone anyway?

The moment has arrived. Miyano knows. He knows Sasaki likes him. And Miyano has realized...he likes Sasaki back, in a BL romance kind of way. Step one: realization is complete—but step two: confession is much harder than he thought it’d be. Just how did the guy he’s crushing on work up the courage to say it to his face all those months ago?

Limit overload-confession imminent. After struggling with his feelings for his adorable kouhai Mya-chan for almost a year, Sasaki takes the plunge and admits how he really feels. But has Miyano’s admiration for his senpai turned into… something more? Or will Sasaki be friend-zoned- permanently…?!

After Sasaki’s graduation, the clock ticks on while Sasaki and Miyano’s relationship slowly deepens bit by bit. They do all the little things couples do—eat lunch together, swap favorite books and music, quote BL lines…and just be there for each other. And then one day, Miyano suddenly realizes he wouldn’t mind if this lasted for the rest of his life…

Never in his wildest dreams did Miyano ever believe fiction would become reality—that his own life would parallel some of the BL stories he so dearly loves. But here he is with an adorably sweet boyfriend who dotes on him every chance he gets! Still, dating comes with its own challenges— especially when their families don’t know yet! Will the pair be met with love and acceptance when those they care for learn about their relationship...?

It all started like a typical old-school boys’ love plotline-bad-boy senior meets adorably awkward underclassman, one of them falls in love, and so on and so forth. But although Miyano is a self-proclaimed boys’ love expert, he hasn’t quite realized…he’s in one himself. Which means it’s up to Sasaki to make sure their story has a happily ever after…!

Once upon a time, in the not too distant past, a holy maiden was summoned. Not just any holy maiden-one hailing from modern Japan. But this story is not her story. This is the tale of the humble accountant, Kondou, who accompanied her and his trials and woes as he accounts in a new world... But no tale is complete without a love interest. And who better to play that role than the handsome knight captain Aresh? Will he begin a personal quest to save said bean counter-who toils around the clock-or is Kondou doomed to be married to his work evermore...?!
