I Thot You Was a Toad's manga / #fantasy(39)

An arms dealer purchases an enslaved magical human-like entity with the power to kill or heal by singing. The creature won't sing, until the arms dealer connects with him through other means.

Dystopian vampire-dominated society where humans are farmed and taxed for blood, controlled by pheromones, until an unlikely Romeo and Juliet transform the entire world.

PWP survival of the fittest Hobbes vs. Locke morality tale as described by 6 smelly goats and their handsome alpha goat stepbrother, a very hungry, but pretty little wolf, and a bull who is, somehow, being mixed up with a cow. A yaoi classic.

Alternate reality in which dragons were used in a battle which seems to be styled on the Siege of Leningrad circa 1944. Like most of Inariya's work, this story is geared to meet the fetish for smartly tailored military uniforms on a burly, blond, wild-dog giant paired with a cold, cruel and dainty smaller man, along with BDSM in which the uke is Dominant. Like most of her stories, even when the relationship heats up with sex, there is always a violent and hostile undercurrent to the relationship. It's interesting, but cold.

Basically a fuck-or-die scenario with 3 different potential partners thrown into the mix: a stoic Chinese Qi Gong Master, an insane brother, and a wacky vampire hunter. Okay, dragons and dragoons are two entirely different things, and this story is filled with strange translations and misspellings that make things very confusing indeed. Since this is one of those zany comedy style of supernatural possession stories, that makes it harder to track what is going on and why. Lots of sex, but the drawing is so jittery over those scenes, you can't see a darned thing, certainly not penes, testes or sphincters. So all the smut with none of the huzzah. But it is sort of different for old-school yaoi.

Kuju Siam presents another intricate story on Shinto themes, this time involving the Inugashi, powerful dog monads who take priests as mistresses in order to purify the souls of dogs. Aoi stumbles upon one such priest, Hakumei, and uncovers a connection to the spirit world that he never imagined, unleashing secrets and reactions from those who love and serve these supernatural beings. This is a complicated tale with a fairly realistic style of exposition which takes a little time to unstitch, but it's well-worth the effort.

Cute story about a boy who, exiled to the country, picks up a local harvest god for some surprise buttsexing.
