A series of one-shots set in a world that seems to be mostly like ours...but with centaurs. The stories are all about human/centaur interaction, and most have a slice of life feel to them. Some are sweet and innocent, some a little sad, a couple are explicit. Featuring est em's typical deceptively simple, masterful composition and writing.

From Nakama:

When they were children, being brothers was enough reason for Taisei and Kouta to live together.

However, since they've grown up, Taisei has become aware that his feelings for his little brother Kouta go beyond brotherly love. He can't take these feeling anymore and leaves home.

Several years later, when he returns home suddenly, Taisei asks Kouta earnestly, "Teach me the family business!" And so the next chapter of life together begins.

The little brother tries to pretend he doesn't know how his older brother feels, while the older brother wants to make his younger brother acknowledge his feelings.

With their dyers' studio as the setting, est em creates a Japanese-style BL based on the feelings of these step-brothers!!

"I must kill her, that woman who leads my heart astray; that woman named Carmen."

In the world of struggling artists, trouble is always on the horizon, and is soon to rear its head as the other members of the band grow tired of Nick's free-thinking and easy-going ways. They want the "hippy" out of the band, leaving Billy with a heart-wrenching choice: Should he follow his life-long desire to make music, a career he's thrown countless hours of time into? Or, should he side with the boy who stole his heart long ago, his true best friend, Nick?
