In a tiny off-campus apartment in Osaka, three young men found themselves drawn together by a desire to experience genuine connection and belonging in a world that often felt too confined by expectations. Kenta, an aspiring botanist with a reflective soul. Johan, an aquaculture student who looked calm on the outside. Chandresh, an extrovert whose humor and princely persona masked his longing for unconditional acceptance. What began as a practical housing arrangement quickly evolved into an interdependent attachment built on shared meals, late-night study sessions, and the quiet promise that they didn't have to navigate the complexities of adulthood alone. But their friendship wasn't without its hardship. When Johan's family conflict threatened to pull him back into a life of parental abuse, and when Chandresh's past came back to haunt him, and Kenta got caught in the middle of all the chaos, their commitment to each other was challenged. It was up to them to let circumstances tear them apart or to use the hurdles as an opportunity to deepen their bonds.

[COMPLETE] A rambly angel. A debonair demon. A very stuck elevator... NIRAEL has never been the best angel. A little too loud, always in the wrong place at the wrong time, she constantly finds herself written up by her archangel superiors for minor misdemeanors. When her Remedial Goodness program forces her to do a capstone project on Earth, she decides this will be the day she finally turns her life around. That is, until she meets... AZERATH has always been a good demon. Which, for a demon, is tantamount to career suicide. Sent to Earth as part of his Remedial Evil program, his demonic superiors issue him an ultimatum: corrupt a hundred souls in the next month or risk being unmade. But they didn't specify that the souls he corrupts have to be human. Mostly romcom fluff with a dash of existential angst.
