Included in “Last Portrait” is the independent story of “Stairway to Heaven" : Narumi Imai has been with the FBI in Washington DC for six months, and already he has been recognized as the best man for... odd, chore-like jobs. As much as he wants to work in the field, his first opportunity comes under a bizarre set of circumstances. Narumi is the personally chosen bodyguard of Keith Coburn, a former FBI agent brought in from prison to HQ just seven days before his scheduled execution. Both Keith's mission and life have a time limit, and for the next seven days, Narumi will be his companion on the stairway to Heaven.
From DramaQueen

Thoughts/Opinions: Last Portrait- It was okay, but I think the siblings were a bit mean to run off with their lovers without telling their parents. Stairway to Heaven- Isn't this longer than the main story? It sure feels like it is. I like this one better. Good Times- The highlight of the book. Less serious than the previous chapter.

The writing is a bit stiff and unnatural, doesn't go so well with Toda Megumi's art. Too bad it's written by Emma Darcy and not the mangaka. It's not as expressive as her other works. Still, I enjoyed it. 
Rating: 8.5

 From Aerandria Scans:

Setting:The town Guidecca/Judecca


It's kinda funny that Euda hits Johanne without hesitation but doesn't use violence against those who try to kill her and Johanne has to save her. Euda is against violence and yet she hits Johanne, so she is a hyprocrite.

 From Fantasyshrine:
Usami is a chef of an Italian restaurant called MIYA. One day, the whimsical owner decided to turn her restaurant into a "bishies restaurant"! Usami refuses to be part of this frivolous idea and will do anything to get out of it. Which led him to strike a deal with the owner. So now he’s stuck training Komiya, the spoiled, playboy son of the owner, to take over the business. But Komiya decided to make a deal of his own—!

Five chapters 2 couples, Komiya Daiichi x Usami Norihito and Morinaka Susumu x Hanano Hijiri
My favorite character is Hanano.
It was good not great. I think it would have been better if it was a bit longer. I always like to see couples being lovey dovey. It ended to quickly I would have liked to see an epilogue or something. I do like the art. I quite like the owner Komiya Teruko, Komiya's mom. This book features misunderstandings/miscommunication and when it's cleared up the characters get together the end.

My rating: between 7-8
