An anthology of one-shot manga stories by multiple creators, collectively titled ROMEO, focuses on shota themes within the boys' love and erotica genres. Published between April 1996 and August 1999 across 21 volumes, the collection brings together works from artists including Dr. Ten, Abekawa, Kineko, and Zero no Mono. Each standalone chapter presents a different narrative, typically centered on romantic or erotic relationships involving young male characters. The anthology format allows for a wide range of storytelling approaches, from lighthearted encounters to more dramatic or explicit scenarios. As a compilation, ROMEO offers a varied glimpse into late 1990s Japanese shota-themed manga, with no overarching plot or recurring characters connecting the individual stories.
