    Double Cast – Mamahara Ellie

    Yamamuro Yuuki is a talented star who has caught the eyes of many people. He’s been toying with a young and seemingly innocent actor named Sawaki Mitsuru, who stars opposite him in a drama. To make matters worse, Ootaki, the producer of “Casual Lover”, is also after Sawaki. The curtains have lifted on the game of love between these proud men!

    Rival actors falling in love with each other should have been riveting stuff. Unfortunately, this felt forced.

    Double Mints – Nakamura Asumiko

    “We can’t live without each other. You’re my other half.”
    “I’ve killed a woman.” The domineering voice on the phone was that of a high school classmate, Mitsuo Ichikawa. Buried memories from the past resurface in the heart of a man with the same name, Mitsuo Ichikawa. It drags him right back into the passions of the past. They reunite as accomplices, yet their relationship as master and servant slowly changes into something new…

    Fucked up, intense, very twisty and oddly touching.

    MANGA: Concrete Garden

    April 28, 2020 / No Comments

    Concrete Garden – Kotobuki Tarako

    1st story: Angels exist and Kashii Kiyoharu, grandson of the man who “created” the angel, has been hired to befriend him. His name is Toki. Kashii soon finds out why the scientists need him around. Toki is lonely, but no one wants to get near him unless it’s necessary since he eats human flesh. What has Kashii gotten himself into?

    2nd story: Everyone expects Tokiwo to go to a good university. However Tokiwo doesn’t want to in order to “play it safe”. One night there was suddenly an earthquake. The stone he was looking at started to glow and out of his floor comes someone who looks exactly like his childhood friend Jiu. Well there is a difference. This “Jiu” is dressed for combat and has a very large weapon. Just what does the stone have to do with “Jiu” and who gave Tokiwo the stone?

    Two military sci-fi stories with interesting premise but are really uninteresting convoluted mess.
