1. Hanataba o Kimi ni Okurou -Kinsenka- 花束を君に贈ろう-Kinsenka- [Frontwing] 1
"The human heart is but a vessel for pain."
That's what someone once whispered―a voice laced with loneliness, whispering directly into the soul. It's an indescribable sadness, a love just beginning to bloom. It becomes an invisible pain that pierces the heart. And that's what makes up life: a cyclical series of highs and lows.
Tachibana Sai was born without the ability to feel pain in his heart. He spends his days eliminating any seeds of malice that sneak up on his sister, the one person he treasures, without drawing attention to himself.
Sick of the never-ending monotony he lives through, he chances upon a meeting with Benio Matsuri, a young girl whose aloof demeanor resembles that of a beautifully crafted doll.
For the first time in his life, he encounters a heart-piercing sensation―that of falling in love.
On the edge between day and night, in a twilight world where the dead and living mingle, stands an apartment building called Maison sans Nom, which is home to a group of boys and girls.
A ruthless boy who knows no pain in his heart.
A lonely girl without any friends.
A friendly girl who struggles to make connections.
A prickly, ambitious girl who is keen to be of help.
A boy who loves his own cute self above anything else.
A mess of a woman who tries to solve everything through brute force.
And a boy with a tender heart who knows no pain in his body.
This ill-assorted group of residents, hands stained with blood from battling the supernatural Maledicts, shall encounter the hearts they never knew and begin nurturing their souls.
The human heart is but a vessel for pain.
To protect this pain akin to love... To gently break the world apart, piece by piece... Even if it means abandoning humanity. That's why the heart is but a vessel for pain.
For life blazes brilliantly, while the heart goes around in an endless cycle.
Localized in English, so should have reviews in no time. Scenarios by talented authors are always looked forward to. It has multiple elements similar to Sakura, Moyu. But compared to that it's darker, more straightforward thus shorter and without time wasted on SOL, same heavy on flashbacks and past investigation.

3. Clover Reset クローバー・リセット [vividX] 1
Shonan Saika Academy, a high-achieving all-girls school in Kanagawa Prefecture.
One day, Marin Tachibana, along with her best friends Mashiro Saotome and Kiyoka Jinguji, experiences a special day.
It begins with meeting an unusual new transfer student, Shizuku Kujyo.
A beautiful girl with a calm and dignified demeanor.
Meeting her feels like déjà vu...
While showing her around the school, they stop by an observation deck, where Marin finds a four-leaf clover.
There is a tradition at this school:
If you press a four-leaf clover found on the observation deck into your student notebook, your wish will come true.
(I want to get closer to her. To spend more time with her...)
With this wish, Marin gives Shizuku the "coincidental" four-leaf clover she found.
This act becomes a turning point, bringing Marin and Shizuku closer together with the help of Mashiro and Kiyoka. However...
"Please, stop worrying about me. I don't want to just be protected..."
"Shizuku, we're friends, right?"
A storm threatens to tear them apart.
It is deeply tied to a "secret" Shizuku is hiding and a "trauma" from Marin's past.
The story follows the growth, mutual support, and cherished memories of the four girls.
Will Marin and the others find their personal "clover" (happiness)?
Yuri doujin, but fine looking one, with OP and localized in Enlgish .
