Toshiue no Danna-sama
Story and Art: Mio Tatsumoto

Sometimes all it takes is a little push from fate to find your true happiness...

"A Substitute Marriage With an Admirable Husband": Miya has an older sister, Mirei. Mirei is elegant, proper, and polite, the family's jewel. Miya, however, is none of that. She is scolded for being childish, wearing old kimonos, and having no manners. But even she admires her older sister, especially because Mirei will marry Kenichiro Hirose, Miya's first and lifelong love.

As the days lead up to the big wedding, Mirei is nowhere to be found. This marriage is impossible without the bride! To everyone's surprise, Miya takes her chance and volunteers to marry Kenichiro in her sister's stead. Will this be the happily ever after she always wanted?

"Smile, Again": It wasn't her fault. This mistake was not Ayako's fault. And yet, here she is again, apologizing for a mistake that. Wasn't. Her. Fault. Ayako is like that. She is bullied for speaking slowly and being timid until she is pushed to quit her job. Ayako hates being like that. So when she meets dazzling and charming Hal while on a trip to Europe, Ayako grows a whole new shell. Maybe there are more ways Hal can bring a fresh breeze into Ayako's life…

Watashi no Kirai na Shacho
Story and Art: Hiraku Miura

Shizuru Kohinata has a hard time expressing on her face how she feels. As a hotel housekeeper, she is scolded by guests for lacking remorse after making a mistake, and her coworkers denigrate her for being emotionless and scary. Shizuru's used to this treatment... and yet, today seems to be her limit.

Tears start rolling down her cheeks and won't stop flowing, even in front of the owner of the hotel, Seishiro Kamiki. As the handsome VIP consoles her in her sadness, Shizuru finds herself waking up... naked in Mr. Kamiki's bed!?

Shizuru has done it now. She'll be fired for sure and have to find a new job. Luckily, Mr. Kamiki has something in mind: if she won't wed him, why not work as his live-in maid?

Kokuhaku wa Yume no Naka de…
Story and Art: Umeko

Mr. Shima can always depend on Chitose for speed and consistency. Chitose loves helping out, too. She hates the thought of Mr. Shima having to work overtime because of her mistake.

Chitose is very fond of Mr. Shima, but has trouble showing it. Her face stiffens whenever he's near, and her wording becomes harsh. Mr. Shima probably thinks she's an ice queen!..

But during a company dinner party, Chitose and Mr. Shima drink a little too much and... wake up next to each other in Chitose's room! Ah well, at least nothing is going to happen... right?

Warawa no Koukyuhi Ranking wa 133banme no you desu
Story and Art: Yuzu Inukai/Shizuku Aimori/Shabon

Urei Getsu entered the Imperial Harem as a consort seven years ago and has lived in the Inner Palace since, as 133rd place in consort ranking.

Urei has always wanted to go back to her home in Saimon. But when the opportunity arises, she refuses.

Could it be because she truly believes she can climb up the ranks under a new emperor? Or could she be waiting for someone to come...?
