Title: *D.N.Angel
manga-ka: Sugisaki Yukiru
Cata: shojo - romance/thief
Length: 9?
warnings: shounen ai hints
about: Daisuke just turned 14. He was raised to be flexible and sneaky. He has
to go though a course just to get to the
living room! Soon he will find out the family secret having
to do with the phantom thief, Dark Mousy, as he becomes him.
The only cure is to find you true love. Daisuke just got his
heart broken by Risa and Dark falls for her twin Riku when he sees her. Can't forget
about the detective who wants to catch Dark, Satoshi who has his own reasons
for wanting to catch Dark.
I was thinking of never reading this thinking it was different,
but I'm glad I did. I am hooked! The art it very nice and catchy. I say shounen
ai hints because of how close Dark and Satoshi end up at times.
Title: *Fake
manga-ka: Matoh nami
Cata: shonen ai - romance/ detective
Length: 7 books
warnings: vol.7
about: Meet Dee, a New York cop with a habit of getting into trouble. He has just
been assigned a new partner, Randy. Part Japanese and goes by Ryo. To Ryo's
surprise, Dee is attracted to him. Will anything come of this? I would hope so but
there are always obstacles. The worst happens to be Bicky.
Volume 7 is a different rating than the rest. Its not as descriptive as most yaoi,
but its there. Just avoid that book if you don't want to deal with that, the
story doesn't really end either.
Title: *Ghost in the Shell
manga-ka: Masamune Shirow
Cata: shonen - sci-fi /mecha
Length: 1 long book
warnings: nudity, yuri(in import or now the uncut release)
about: Major Motoko Kusanagi is a cyborg and put in charge of a special
unit. She and her team track down terrorists using skill and fuchikoma,
mecha who can think.
This is availible uncut in the bi-lingual version. Dark horse removed a
page or so of the yuri scene but i hear there has been and uncut version now
made. But for the most part the price is the same if you import or buy here. The movie is good but,
I have a hard time
reading the manga. Its a lot of information to go through and almost 350 pages.
Title: *Gohou Drug - Lawful Drug
manga-ka: CLAMP
Cata: shounen ai/ mystery
Length: 4+ ongoing
warnings: the chocolate extra in vol. 2 :P
about: Ever worked at a drugstore? Even if you have this is very different,
owned and operated by beautiful men. Within is also a side business.
A dangerous one that takes special ppl to do. That's where the young Kazuhaya
and Rikyuou
fit in. When you need extra cash, you will do tough jobs.
Don't be scared by the gene. its just for looks. many ppl who don't
like the genre really enjoy the title.
Title: *Gravitation
manga-ka: Maki Murakami
Cata: shounen ai/ music, romance
Length: 12 books?
warnings: shounen ai all over
about: Shuichi and his buddy want to hit it big in the music industry
like his idol group did. He sings good, but his lyrics and keyboarding
aren't the best. He meets Yuki who bluntly tells him so. They become
more than friends while Shuichi's career get going. Bad Luck is the band that
starts off and aims big.
If you are thinking about trying this title, don't stop at the first book, its a
series that may need a second read to grow on you big. You don't need to
like music stories to enjoy this one.
Title: Kaguya Hime
manga-ka: Shimizu Reiko
Cata: shojo ai, sci-fi
Length: 3+
warnings: none
about: Akira is a girl that looks like a boy. She has no memories of
before 5. She was a baby found in the bamboo groves and taken in.
Soon she is to find out about her past and the others involved.
I really am not able to read this. I can't get into the story so I cant
really even summarize it well. sorry. Its not often that I don't like a series.
Title: *Love Mode
manga-ka: Yuki Shimizu
Cata: yaoi - romance
Length: 11 books
warnings: nc-17
about: Finding true love between men is not as easy as you think. These are the
stories of men involved with Blue Boy. A sort of dating service it you could
call it that, but the purpose it to find love.
Each volume deals with a different couple. The favorites tend to get more that
1. Most fans also enjoy Yami no Matsuei
Title: Menkui!
manga-ka: Suzuki Tanaka
Cata: shounen ai
Length: 3+
warnings:
about: The title literally means face eater. A perfect saying for one who like pretty
people. Kotori is a boy just like that. His problem is his older brother is beautiful
and he just looks dull compared. His bro always has people coming for him, but one of
the admirers is not coming for the bro. Kotori has to realize his feeling while still
keeping it secret at the school they both attend.
A simple art style and story. The thing its lacking is only a more continuous plot.
Title: Midare Somenishi
manga-ka: Kazuma Kodaka
Cata: Yaoi/ samurai
Length: 1 book/ 5 chapters
warnings: rape, graphic violence/ sex
about: An oldest son of a priest wants nothing to do with his family, never mind
involving his little brother in his samurai affairs and enemies. While leaving
home his bro follows. unfortunately there is a gang ahead. They are no match for
him, but with a hostage they are more then enough. Now they are captives and
sex slaves
with every intention of escaping.
Pay attention to the warnings here. This is not a good choice
if this disturbs you in the least.
Title: *Miyuki-chan in Wonderland
manga-ka: CLAMP
Cata: comedy
Length: 1 book
warnings: sillyness, shojo ai hints
about: Miyuki is just a normal girl other than the fact she keeps getting
brought into strange worlds..Not to mention there are no men in this series. Its
know for the Alice in wonderland and though the looking glass story spoof.
This is just a fluffy cute CLAMP story. Good for a laugh but a bit too fast
paced. Unless you are looking for the scenes you could read this without
noticing much in the shojo ai area.
Title: *Petshop Of Horrors
manga-ka: Matsuri Akina
Cata: horror/shounen ai
Length: 10 books
warnings: shounen ai + maybe some nudity
about: Come to China town. There is you are to venture into a small
pet shop, you will meet Count D. He can show you any pet you desire
to make you dreams come true, but under some conditions... He will not be
responsible for what happens if those conditions are not followed to the point.
Its good to read something different every now and then. Each
book tends to have around 4 stories.
Title: Stigma
manga-ka: Kazuya Minekura
Cata: shounen ai
Length: 1 book(all color!)
warnings: not very noticable scene + blood
about: A man with no name meets a little boy Tit and is given a name, Stork
because of his height.
He has fogetten his past and goes with Tit to look for a birds and the blue
sky which have been thought to be no more.
Good for a fan of the artist. She, I believe its a women, also made Saiyuki.
This does contain a lot of narration on the part of Stork. The darkness of the
time is very well conveyed.
Title: Thief and Detective
manga-ka:
Cata: shounen ai/ detective
Length: 1 book (5 parts + 2 side stories)
warnings: look to cata.
about: The detective wants to catch the thief Dr. Martin. Martin has created
his goal of stealing the young detectives heart. love is in the air but is it one-sided?
Not using names because they were not all accurate with scan due to using a
Chinese copy. But its a short and playful story.
Title: *Wish
manga-ka: CLAMP
Cata: shojo/ shounen ai?
Length: 4 books
warnings: none?
about:Kohaku is on a mission and is sent down to earth. There she meets Shuichiro who takes her
in. Kohaku knows little about the world and is willing to learn to help out Shuichiro till she
can grant his wish that he has yet to find.
I can remember the cata, but it usually is marketed at shounen
ai even though the angels have no gender. I do believe its easier to call them a he or she rather than it.
Title: *Yami no Matsuei - Descendant of darkness
manga-ka: Matsushita Yoko
Cata: shounen ai/detective
Length: 14+?
warnings: shounen ai, blood + gore, death
about: Tsuzuki and Hisoka are shingami. Their job is to take care
of the irregularities that pop up from time to time in an assigned sector. As in people missing their date with death.
They have already died, but still have a strong attachment to the human world
due to happening from when they were alive. Even being dead, they cannot get
away from their pasts.
When you see Dr. Muraki the shounen ai and darker twists are sure to come. He
tends to be a very good villain.
