Yaoi Review: Empty Heart by Masara Minase
A fine yaoi romance. While not tremendously innovative in character or plot, its solid story-telling and excellent character art held my interest and it even got me to chuckle a few times. If the set-up and character design are appealing to you, you should buy the book.
Yaoi Review: Brother by Yuzuha Ougi
On the plus side, you’ve got a hot set-up (dude, they’re like brothers!) and explicit sex. On the negative side, you have an unsympathetic lead, unnecessary and uninteresting conflict and a very superficial treatment of a provocative topic. It’s a DramaQueen publication so I really wanted to like this book, but frankly, even if you’re just looking for sexy, good times, you could do a lot better.
Yaoi Review: Challengers by Hinako Takanaga
I was in a very grumpy mood when I picked up this book and I was smiling when I was done reading. It’s sweet, well written, well-drawn and funny. You should buy this book.
Yaoi Review: Kyo Kara Maoh! (DVD)
Such a mixed bag. I’ve given the reasons not to like this show above, and yet… and yet… I still can’t help but find it charming in its own annoying, teasing way. Getting to see an action-fantasy yaoi harem comedy is a treat, even if you have to wade through several episodes of pedestrian storytelling and Boys Love fake-outs to get to the good stuff, because just when you are ready to give up, it charms you again with its own brand of cute zaniness — like introducing an adorable and lethal Panda with acid for saliva and a heart of gold as a supporting character. I feel like my interests in yaoi and all things kawaii are being toyed with by the creators of this series and yet I’ll keep coming back for more. My advice, watch the first disc — if you like that one, it’s worth sticking around for the others, now that you have been warned. If you don’t, I bow to you gently with respect.
Yaoi Review: Sweet Revolution by Yukine Honami and Serubo Suzuki
Don’t get it hoping for hot, fun sex but with great art, great characters, sweet romance and an engaging and dramatic fairy-tale plot, this book’s a winner.
