Two teens from the same school and table tennis club run into each other at the bus stop. Just another YA meet-cute, but this time it's German guy Max and Filipino-German girl Claire, and the big bag of groceries from the Asian food store that she has to bring home.

A veteran winter sports athlete returning after an injury has to deal with tense competition and the attention of an attractive teammate. Just another sports romance, but this time it's about Filipino-Austrian freeskier Tina and the younger social-media star athlete Andy.

In an office building in Sweden, a woman runs into her ex-boyfriend, and starts to wonder if they can pick up right where they left off. Just another second chance romance, but this time it's Filipino-Swedish Lianne knowing that it was her Filipino family dynamics that led to the breakup with Alexander, and that's something she can't easily change.

Romance stories we know, from perspectives we may not have noticed before. A reminder that we can share love and kilig all over the world.

Kilig and Liebe is a collaborative project of the RomanceClass Books collective in the Philippines and the Halo-Halo network in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
