    MANGA: Ezuke wa Yahan, Ano Heya De

    January 27, 2019 / No Comments

    Ezuke wa Yahan, Ano Heya de – Homerun Ken

    A collection of interconnected stories ranging from cactus enthusiasts and compensated dating to vampires and zombies.

    The Next Time We Meet, The Crimson Flowers Will Bloom: seemed more a friendship story than romance. I liked the seme’s blunt honesty.

    Unable To Reach Neither Love Nor Friendship: they buy each other instead. That angsty search for connection and a place to belong to.

    Midnight Feeding In That Room: A riff on the master-servant trope. Was going for dark but the interaction with the two couples gave it a much needed touch of levity

    Zombie Cycle + Daybreak: a very poignant story of friendship and love that survived, sort of, the zombie apocalypse. Best story of the collection

    MANGA: Kuro Ookami to Gin Kitsune

    January 24, 2019 / No Comments

    Kuro Ookami to Gin Kitsune – Inose

    Kuzunoha is a Fox, a member of the Vulpine Faction at his school for Beastlings, and while he gets along well with his kind and the Feline Faction, the Lupine Faction scares the mess out of him because they still practice the ancient rite of pelt reaping, where in traditional ceremonies they skin their fellow beasts. But when he wanders into the forest on an urgent errand and winds up stumbling into the middle of a hunt, he must rely on the help of a Wolf classmate of his to reach safety, because Kuzunoha isn’t all he appears to be at first blush!

    This has so much potential! I hope the mangaka continues the story.

    Sunroom ni Te – Takemiya Keiko

    “In December of 1970 Takemiya published a short story, “In the Sunroom” (in Bessatsu Shojo Komikku) which is possibly the first shonen-ai manga published and contains the earliest known male-male kiss in shōjo manga.

    The manga volume consists of five shorter stories:

    – Sunroom Nite (In the Sunroom, 1970)
    – Hohoemu Shounen (The Laughing Boy, 1972)
    – 20 no Hiru to Yoru (20 Days and Nights, 1973)
    – Star! (1974)
    – Mister no Kotori (The Mr.’s Baby Bird, 1975)” 

    A story of happy childhood innocence and powerful, inescapable desires.

    A highly emotional and dramatic historical milestone in manga.
