Body Talk Paradox by Panco. [Eng]

Plot:

1) Scent-Filled Days
When high schooler Kazunari tells auto mechanic Ryosuke, “Stay away from me, you stink,” Ryosuke is left baffled. As the son of a garage owner, shouldn’t Kazunari be used to the scent of oil and sweat? Determined to uncover the reason behind Kazunari’s aversion, Ryosuke refuses to back down.

2-4) Body Talk Paradox
Shidou, a tattoo artist, is withdrawn and avoids deep connections—no friends, no lovers, only fleeting one-night stands to escape his loneliness. But then there’s Takita, a former hookup who keeps showing up at Shidou’s studio, undeterred by his cold demeanor. Since Takita owns the building, Shidou has no choice but to tolerate his daily visits. But as Takita’s feelings grow stronger, can Shidou continue keeping his distance?

5) Love Sensitive
Tattoo artists Sasami and Kaji share an unusual dynamic—Kaji, with his wild appearance, dotes on the gloomy Sasami like a caretaker. However, Kaji’s concern for Sasami isn’t just platonic. With Sasami growing increasingly lethargic from the cold, Kaji is determined to find a way to warm him up—both physically and emotionally.

6) Mad Synapse
Akimoto prefers a laid-back, no-drama work life, but his coworker Suzuki keeps making things difficult with his airheaded nature. Unfortunately for Suzuki, Akimoto isn’t as kind as he seems.
