Kodou no Yokan - Vital Zero
Hate the seme in this one! What a dick (npi)! It was sweet when he helped him to 'erase the bad memories and replace them with good ones', but aside from that, he fulfilled his own sadistic desires without giving a shit about how it might affect his (already traumatised) uke. What a jerk! Anyhow, overall this manga was ok, but nothing earth shattering.

1st story is AWFUL, 2nd one is meh. Don't reread.
Tooi Nemuri
Both stories were good, especially the first one. For once in yaoi, the mc chose to do the right thing, no matter how difficult, (although he did fuck up a little before realising his error), but he still got his happy end, (well as happy as possible, given the circumstances). Also, I liked the way the dead person is not just conveniently forgotten about, but the character still manages to move on, (in a realistic manner). Both stories are realistic and mature. Errors are made and moved on from in a very human manner.
Kimi wo Watareba
A bit of a mixed bag. The main story was sweet, (plus the seme was gorgeous), though I don't like the idea of substituting people just because they look alike.
Tsumetai Taiyou
3.75 stars. Beautiful scene near the end, with the seme gazing adoringly at his [beautiful] uke, who is admiring the [beautiful] snow. All the characters are gorgeous, and the art is pretty. In particular, the facial expressions are well drawn. The story, though not especially original, is a nice one - sweet & hot. Everyone loves the idea of taming a bad boy, right? The characters are well written/drawn, especially hot af Takanari, whose dominance is palpable - one look/word/gesture from him suffices.
Pandora
Really loved this. Half a star removed for the art style, which I liked but didn't love, and minus another half star for the first story, which was sweet, but I couldn't get past the fact that they both stank from several days, (serious turnoff), lol. The rest more than made up for it, though. Nice that the mangaka gets s/m and D/s dynamics.
Tsuyameku Hishatai
More like 2.5 stars. Pretty meh really. The stories weren't brilliant, but the sexy semes kind of made up for it.
