Title:Rubbers 7 by Sukune Inugami (scanlated by B.L.A.H.)
TImagine, if you will, a room full of Japanese gangsters -- yakuza –- discussing their business. The men in their dark suits, the smoky atmosphere, the big, mean looking boss, all working out of some offices in a warehouse set in a troubled area of the city; a warehouse down by the docks perhaps. Now take all these stereotypical gangster images and throw them out. The Tounomoto Group is anything but your typical set of gangsters and head boss Munenori is anything but a typical gangster leader. Eschewing stock gangster hideout settings, he runs his group from the top floor of a building that also hosts both a karaoke bar (on the second floor), and the titular convenience store (on the first floor), Rubbers 7. Disputes and transgressions here are not decided in a hail of gunfire, or by having gang members slug it out in a ring. Instead, a much more challenging way to decide things is used: a game of Ping-Pong!

Title:Rules by Kano MIyamoto (scanlated by Liquid Passion)

Surprisingly, this frightened, young, stranger that Hikaru just brought home wishes to have sex with him. Although Hikaru generally does not engage in casual affairs, there is something about Yukio that attracts him, or maybe he just looks like someone he used to know. After that, Yuko begins to open up to Hikaru, telling him about his crush on his straight best friend, Atoli. Slowly, Hikaru becomes Yukio's only support, but the one Yukio loves is Atoli...

Title:Virgin na Kankei by Takumi Kobayashi (scanlated by Solaris-SVU)
Virgin na Kankei revolves around the sometimes romantic, sometimes hilarious, and sometimes downright kinky relationship between your average salaryman Kimijima and a random women he just so happens to knock up one night. The catch? She turns out to be his boss at his new job.
