This story ends how pretty much every Japanese horror seems to end, with a man killing a woman. It also has the trope of "Let the Man Do It". Of course when a woman is ready to end the horror, Mr. Brotag has to step up and do it because it would simply be too much for a woman to take. Overall the ...
At the beginning of April, I decided to branch out of my comfort zone and take a look at Japanese anime. As with most things, I went in and fully immersed myself which of course means that after finishing a few of the anime I wanted to check out the manga from which they were created. (I think you c...
I am not fond of forced seduction. There was a time where I kind of like it (in yaoi only) but not anymore. Asakura seduced silly Minami after 2 minutes of meeting each other. In the middle of a business meeting. And from there, is a patron of "Come to this hotel, I will show you a new room to be in...

His classmates are mostly friendly, but sometimes behave strangely, and ...
This book was adapted into an anime, which I've already seen and reviewed. It's been a while since I last saw the anime, but I think it was a fairly faithful adaptation, with the only differences I can recall being a trip to the beach that was entirely invented for the anime and slight differences i...
2.75 starsA nice story of second chance that finally, FINALLY, I could read! :D Thank you Makhda for lending me the book! *winks & kisses*Be warned that there's rather long flashback chapters from their senior year in high school. In fact, present and past content were 50:50 of the whole body. The p...
I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads. In no way does that influence this review.First off, the artwork is absolutely beautiful. The colored pages at the start of each volume are amazing. I really enjoyed the story, it's very different than most manga I read. Page after page, I...
I saw the anime of this series not that long ago, and felt like reading the manga. Now I am not so sure if I will continue, the manga was practically the same as the anime and I was bored a few times because I already knew it. In overall, I love the art style of the manga. And it is good to see ...
I've been in something of a reading slump for a while, so I decided to try to break it up with what I figured would be a quick read. I found this at a used bookstore. I haven't had a lot of luck with Digital Manga Publishing's yaoi novels, so I tried to keep my expectations low. Here are some good ...
I finished this novel in one sitting, I just couldn't put it down! Beautiful in so many ways... the illustrations are gorgeous and the depiction of old Japanese customs gives you a sense of solemnity. Great pace and nice character development, even though it's a short story. Just the right amount of...
