I’ll pour my magical power into you... Otaku salaryman, Momose, who loves fantasy and parallel worlds, comes upon a book that he used to read a lot in the past: “The Complete Collection of Summoning Magic”. Feeling nostalgic, his middle-schooler heart re-ignites, so he decides to try and chant once again the summoning spell to call The Servant of Fate... But suddenly, in doing so, a demon named Keiha comes out of his closet?! A slightly naughty BL daily-life story about a demon tied by an invisible force X a salaryman!!

Retro BL is a collection of yaoi one-shots, with each story exploring a historical setting. Taishou romance, unfastened hakama, love and unnoticed postwar fraternity... A BL of disheveled men in a tainted, bewitching world. 1. Hako no Naka no Ittosei (The First Star In The Box) – Shimaji Mayuzumi takes in Saitou, a struggling novelist. Shocked at Saitou's frivolity with money, as well as his scandalous behavior—which Saitou claims to be essential to his writing—Mayuzumi becomes a convenient partner to satisfy Saitou's physical desires. However, when marriage is put on the table for Mayuzumi, the hero of Saitou's novel cannot make up his mind. 2. Himegoto Renbo (Secret Love) – Tokishiba 3.

Akame no Niekami no Akari (The Red-eyed Offering, Akari) – Hareya Umako "Meat container," "Caretaker," and "Slut"—these are the only names he has been called since coming to the Tokoyoda household. Found as a child, he was given to the Guardian Deity as an offering; every night he is to submit his body as comfort to the god. The telltale sign of his role is the color of his eyes, a symbol showing he has joined his body with the Guardian Deity, and the members of the house ostracize him due to his crimson gaze. They know he is nearing death, for the redder his eyes become, the weaker he will grow.

From childhood experience, Matsukawa believes that appearances are everything. He makes every effort to keep up his good looks in every way possible. His co-workers respect and look up to him. On the other hand, his junior, Chihiro, is naturally blessed with handsome looks. While Matsukawa is jealous of Chihiro’s effortless beauty, he recognizes his junior’s diligence and remains the supportive senior. On the other hand, Chihiro looks at Matsukawa as more than just his senior, and Matsukawa is not ready when things get heated fast. How can he even say no to a face like that?

Seita Okusu had always liked Kiyosawa. Like the shoujo manga he always reads, Seita wishes for a heartfelt romance with him, but Amane seems to always get in the way. Thinking that Amane also has feelings for Kiyosawa, Seita dubs him as his love rival. But Seita's dream of romance with Kiyosawa crumbles when Kiyosawa introduces his girlfriend to him. Heartbroken, Seita tries to move on by taking care of the garden Kiyosawa is now too busy to tend to. There, he finds Amane, who decided to water the withering plants. Seita then ropes Amane into looking after the garden with him thinking Amane is also heartbroken over Kiyosawa. But is he really?
