2Wink Reading List
hiiii im putting together a really quick 2wink reading list because i want to organize my thoughts properly on these guys :3 most of the banners lead to translations of the stories so feel free to click on those! fair note that i may be missing some essential stories, and if so i will make sure to go back and add those when i get the chance! thanks ♡
the importance rating on each story explains how essential i think each story is to read! 5 stars meaning it's really important, and 1 star meaning you can probably skip it.
as a note, sub stories and idol stories are almost entirely fluff and aren't super critical! i wanted to add translations for as many as i could find, but it's difficult to search the internet for all of them.

Anzu is tasked with pairing up idols to teach each other their specialties. Yuuta and Shinobu find each other in the hallway, and begin forming a bond, only to end up being paired together by Anzu and becoming each other's first real friends. It's a really cute story about Yuuta and Shinobu's relationship, along with other silly idol interactions.

importance: ☆☆☆☆☆
episodes: 16

RYUSEITAI is holding a Christmas live. Hinata is busy completing Christmas jobs for some quick 2wink funds, while Yuuta is trying to figure out just /what/ is going on with his brother... Content warning for some violence, but this story is heavily important for 2wink!
Repayment Festival
release date: february 29th 2016
importance: ☆☆☆☆
episodes: 20
other units: 
AKATSUKI and UNDEAD are getting ready for the graduations of their seniors, who seem to have their own ideas that they're up to. . . 2wink is making preparations for the next year, hoping to finally gain fame in Yumenosaki. This story is chaotic... but pretty important for 2wink.

Kabukimono
release date: june 15th 2016
importance: ☆☆
episodes: 12
other units:
Kuro and Keito are exhausted from their work, and Souma wants to help out... it just so happens 2wink are having troubles of their own regarding the upcoming S2, since Hinata keeps running away... This story doesn't have a lot of 2wink content, it's mostly AKATSUKI, but I think that the 2wink sections are interesting enough. Plus, Yuuta's cg for this story makes me so sad :-(

Setsubun Festival
release date: january 31st 2017
importance: ☆☆☆☆☆
episodes: 22
other units: n/a
CONTENT WARNING: SUICIDE ATTEMPT. The most notorious 2wink story out there. Of course it's required reading, but don't let your curiosity get you to read this one first. Setsubun is best enjoyed after reading some other 2wink stories to understand what's wrong with these two.

Secret Labyrinth
release date: april 29th 2019
importance: ☆☆
episodes: 8
other units: The 5 Oddballs
Hinata accidentally pranks Yuuta by making him slip on a banana peel. . . Yuuta distances himself from Hinata, and realizes that for 2wink to grow, he needs a mentor; who else but the 5 Eccentrics? He goes to Rei for help, and is then directed to Kanata. . . Not essential, but this story is verryyy silly at some points so I enjoyed it a ton. Good Oddballs reading, too.
other ! era stories with cute, mostly minor, 2wink moments: Cats and the Camellia Train, Aquarium, more that I will recall later!
