Junai Mellow

Junai Mellow is a collection of eleven steamy one-shot stories that delve into a wide spectrum of romantic and sensual entanglements, from playful bargains and secret identities to forbidden desires and unexpected confessions. In "±LOVE," the anthology opens with a tale of ambiguous affections. "Wazawai Tenjite Neko to Naru" follows Akane, who accidentally destroys Takeru's computer along with his ongoing manga project; to make amends, she offers herself as the heroine of his story. "Soushi Souai" features Asuka, who has been engaging in internet sex with her childhood friend Ryou, frustrated that he has not realized it is her on the other end—until he unknowingly professes his love for her. "Take Your Mark" centers on teacher Kurosaki Mio, who makes an outrageous promise to her student Aiba Satoru: if he breaks the school's 100-meter freestyle record, she will allow him to fondle her breasts. "Chiteki Koukishin" finds Mishima Shouko discovering her boyfriend's S&M paraphernalia; after her initial shock gives way to curiosity, she lets him take her on a wild, kinky adventure. "LIKE A CHILD" portrays Kouji and Kana, who leave a party early; when Kouji unwittingly infantilizes Kana because of her petite frame, she tries to prove her maturity—only to be surprised by the outcome. In "Yuka," Ken visits his relatives in the countryside after exams and reunites with Megumi, whose voluptuous form immediately arouses him—and she seizes the moment to confess her long-held feelings. "Junketsu Before After" introduces Kannari Imaichi, a new teacher at the prestigious Tousou Private Academy, who must take drastic measures against student Tougoh Hime for her persistent refusal to follow the strict dress code. "Gogo no Kouchou" features Mizuno Yayoi, frustrated by her husband's constant overtime, enjoying a new toy in her lingerie—only to be caught by Okajima Naoki, who secretly harbors a crush on her. "Mikawaya desu" tells of aspiring lawyer Nakaoka Akira, who has failed the National Bar Examination four years in a row; he repeatedly orders beer and gradually befriends the delivery girl, Mikawa Akemi. Finally, in "Sonogo no Hime-chan," Hime has reformed her behavior and now dresses appropriately, but she continues to summon Imaichi for meetings all over the school grounds, keeping him perpetually on edge.
