I actually went looking for this one last month because I tried reading the original manga scanlations and kept getting lost in the text flow. From what I could find, there isn't an official audiobook adaptation for 'Mama ga Suki' as a standalone title. It's a pretty niche doujinshi series, and those rarely get that kind of formal production, especially in English. Audiobooks tend to get made for more mainstream manga or light novels with official translations.
I did stumble across something interesting though. While digging through some fan audio communities, I found a few projects where people had done dramatic readings or created unofficial audio versions of certain chapters. The quality was hit-or-miss—some were just someone quietly reading the text, others had background music and different voice actors for characters. It's obviously not the same as a professional production, and you'd have to know where to look, but it shows there's an audience wanting to experience it that way. Personally, I think the visual aspect of the manga is so central to its humor and pacing that an audio-only format might lose something, but for a reread or if you have accessibility needs, those fan efforts could be worth a listen.

I looked into this a lot last year because I prefer audiobooks for my commute, and I remember hitting a wall. 'Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai!' is a pretty classic light novel series, but it's never had an official English translation for any format, let alone an audiobook. The original Japanese version might have some voice drama CDs or something from its anime/game adaptations, but a full, unabridged audiobook of the novels? I don't think one exists even in Japanese. The fan translation scene is where most English readers go, and those are obviously text-only.
It's a real shame because the chaotic energy of Momoyo and the rest of the cast would be fantastic to hear performed. The whole series has that over-the-top, action-rom-com vibe that could really shine with a good voice cast. But producing an audiobook for a niche series without an official translation is just not commercially viable. You're stuck with the manga or the original novels, I'm afraid. Maybe if there's a surge in popularity for retro light novels, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Reading 'Suki ni Naru Sono Shunkan wo.' legally online is a bit of a puzzle, as it's not widely available on major English platforms. I spent a good hour searching for it myself. The main issue is that it's a Japanese BL (Boys' Love) manga, and those licenses can be super niche.
You'll likely need to look at Japanese digital storefronts like BookLive!, eBookJapan, or Comic Festa if you can read Japanese and navigate their region-locking. For English readers, the trail runs cold unless a publisher like Seven Seas or SuBLime has picked it up, which I don't think they have. I checked their catalogs recently.
Honestly, sometimes with these series, you're better off hoping for an official print release you can import. The digital scene for untranslated BL is a maze of paywalls and geo-restrictions. I ended up buying the physical volumes from a proxy service, which wasn't cheap but felt more direct.

You know, I was hunting for that one a while back myself.
To my knowledge, 'Kono Koi wa Atatamemasuka?' doesn't have an official audiobook version out there yet, at least not in English. I kept checking the usual spots like Audible and the publisher's site, but no dice. It's a shame because the light novel's prose has such a cozy, warm feel that would be perfect for listening to on a chilly evening.
Sometimes these niche romance titles take a while to get adapted, if they ever do. Might have to settle for the digital or physical book for now, which honestly isn't a bad compromise. The illustrations are half the charm anyway.

Huh, that's a tricky one. I've been reading the web novel version online for a while now, and I keep checking the usual audiobook platforms for this title, but I've never come across a proper, official audio adaptation. The light novels have a few volumes out, but as far as I can tell, they haven't made the jump to audio yet, at least not in English.
There are some unofficial text-to-speech readings on YouTube, which some fans use, but the quality is really robotic and lacks any of the nuance a real narrator would bring. It's a shame because the comedic timing in 'Sokushi Cheat' could be great with the right voice actor. For now, I think we're stuck with the digital or physical text. Maybe if the manga adaptation gets more popular, it'll spur some interest in an audiobook release.

I was curious about this one too, because I've really wanted to get into 'Komi Can't Communicate' (I assume that's the 'komik naru love' title you mean) but my commute is brutal. From what I've found, there's no official audiobook adaptation for the manga itself. The nature of it—being a heavily visual gag manga with those fantastic reaction panels—makes a straight-up audiobook tricky to pull off in a satisfying way.
That said, the series does have some audio drama adaptations in Japanese, which are like audio-only episodes with voice actors. Fansubs sometimes translate those. So while you can't listen to the manga page-for-page, you can get the characters' voices and some original stories that way, which is a fun alternative.

'Skirt no Naka' definitely caught my attention. While I haven't found an official audiobook version yet, the novel's premise about supernatural hijinks involving school uniforms makes me think it'd be perfect for audio dramatization. The tactile descriptions of fabrics and eerie atmosphere would translate wonderfully to voice acting with ambient sounds.
That said, I did stumble upon some fan-read chapters on niche Japanese audio platforms - nothing complete, but passionate amateurs capturing the story's mix of cheeky humor and creeping dread. The lack of an official release might be due to its age (originally published in the early 2000s) or the niche appeal of panty-stealing ghosts. Maybe if the upcoming manga reprint does well, we'll get lucky with an audiobook adaptation featuring those iconic uniform rustling sound effects.
