Love For Rent

Koduka Chiyo is in trouble. She quit her job and has been on a months long bender resulting in no self esteem and -- most importantly -- no rent money. When her (tiny) landlady comes calling looking for the money she's owed, Koduka's willing to do anything. 'Anything' includes granting the landlady's request to sleep together, despite Koduka's supposed heterosexuality. In the light of the morning after, the result of Koduka's choices weighs heavy on her conscience. But can her salvation be found in the same arms the night before? Chuck and Keelz talk sexuality, equivalent exchange, and non-toxic yuri, as they chat about 'I Can't Believe I Slept With You' by Miyahara Miyako.

Marie White is starting out on her own, for the first time, taking on a job as a maid at the secluded Greywoods manor.
