*Sorry for my biased attitude :P*
Nobara - Kumota Haruko
Description (from baka-updates)
1-3) Nobara
Take has been watching Kamita-san single-handedly take care of his young daughter Mone for quite a while now. When Kamita’s wife finally shows her face at the shop only after Kamita has gone home, Take can’t help but demand an explanation for why she’d abandon her family with such a great husband and daughter. But when Kamita’s wife blurts out “because he told me he’s gay!” it’s definitely the last thing Take was expecting!
4) Nobara Extra
5) Mimi-kun no Boy no Kisetsu
Mimi-kun works at a drag club and has long-planned on becoming a cute girl in the future-and his boy of choice is Kaoru-chan, the gay bartender from his workplace. However, during a chance make-out session at Mimi-kun’s birthday party, Kaoru pushes him away and says “sorry, I like you too but it seems I just can’t do this with a girl.” What is poor Mimi-kun to do?
6) Mimi-kun no Heart no Earrings
7) Lullaby of Birdland
Samejima-kun to Sasahara-kun (E-book)
Purchase here -> Nook
Description (from baka-updates)
Samejima and Sasahara are friends. They go to college together, they're in the same year, and they even work at the same place! But when Samejima confesses his feelings run deeper, their relationship explodes in passion... and irritation! Sasahara tries to ignore Samejima, and he tells him to wake up - he tries to accept him, and Samejima plays hard to get. It's enough to drive a man crazy, in more way than one!

- Comments : Heart-warming. I personally love 'Mimi-kun' stories. >< It's really cute gender-bender oneshot I've ever read. I kinda like Kumota Haruko's artwork <3 It's unique and attractive. I try to find Kumota's works and plan to add it to my BL collection. :)

- Comments : I'm really happy that many Koshino's books have already licensed by DMG. I don't know why I haven't read Koshino's book before. She has unique artworks (I love unique artwork.... not too beautiful... as long as it touches my heart) The relationship and dialogues b/w Samejima-kun and Sasahara-kun are cute and funny. And sex scene toooooooo. Koshino's has interesting sex scene. You should give it a try!!! yea XD

- Comments : As it should be, Koshino made me impress again with this book. There are a lot of details present in this book. It's funny and cute story. And the gag at the last few pages are incredibly funny. >< The main couple from Samejima-kun to Sasahara-kun is appear in this story too. The Shrimp-Fried bento that Nakajima has everyday comes from Combini that Samejima and Sasahara work. This story is spin-off story of above.
