It made me want to know what was going to happen next. The collection of hot guys in the swim team didn't hurt. Sexy scenes. The story itself was pretty okay.

Deep Love Virus









Mako and Haru have been friends forever. One day when Haru suddenly kisses Mako she starts thinking that this is a sign of a new beginning! However, soon after, Haru tells Mako that he has found a new girlfriend! How will Mako react to the news!?

Review: (spoiler alert)
I read Deep Love Virus and OMG~ it was such a good story in terms of character development and painful feelings. Believe it or not, (spoiler alert!) I was rooting for the kendo senpai and not the childhood friend all along, so I was really happy about the ending. I thought the childhood friend was being very insensitive and immature and when he finally got over his *confusion* he was using such mean sneaky tactic! UGH! XD So yeah, I thought the senpai was cool. And she was very cool and mature at the end. If it wasn't a oneshot and she was some other type of heroine, she could have been indecisive and not picked one or the other until 15 volumes later! XD And in the end, she still kept the childhood friend as a friend. So I think she came out winning at the end. Thanks for the recommendation!

+/- Junkie













A short shoujo story about a girl who wants to continue the family tradition of her family…that is, get married at 16 and have a girl child at 17! A very crazy story about a very crazy girl named Ren who falls in love with one of the most popular boys in school, Juuya, at first sight!
