I Thot You Was a Toad's manga / #supernatural(121)

I was hooked by the name "Melty Night" which sounds like some kind of newfangled chocolate. The story itself is a bit all over the place so far. In a drunken moment of despair, Amano meets Gill, who supposedly runs a vampire image club, but who may be a real vampire. He rejects the marriage proposal from his boss's daughter and loses his executive position in the company. He meets up with a childhood friend at a bar. All sorts of things happen which are leading somewhere, but exactly where isn't clear yet.

(1) A bored student discovers that his teacher is a vampire who uses pills to suppress his urge for blood. Then he decides to play with his teacher. (2) A secret room behind the science lab becomes a private space for two lovers when time seems to phase in and out. (3) The astronomy club has one member, and there is a reason for it.

A series of short stories by Naono Bohra, one of which cannot be beat for sheer crack: Chapter Three's hilarious Love Snatcher, in which a man wishes upon the moon for a better world and is whisked off to a desert island to become the bride of the Tiger Spirit. Mpreg isn't plausible at the best of times, so might as well go Full Loon.

Rare breed, but country hayseed, white werewolf comes to Tokyo, works at a host club and attracts the attention of a mean old vampire, in spite of Mama Werewolf's best warnings.

Sparkle-Vampire gets topped and sealed (like a chastity belt for bloodsucking) by a priest. Sex was supposed to have ensued, but we didn't get to see it. *is sad* Werewolf sidekick introduced and story devolves into madcap zaniness. Still no penises.

If the purpose of that was to tell the story of seducing a vampire, then vampires must have ADHD, because the interlocking stories kept leaping about in fits and starts, with no satisfactory ending to any of them, and wound up in a mundane story about cosplay. I suppose the cosplay business was supposed to excuse the whole supernatural world set-up, but it didn't.

A heart transplant imbeds violent compulsions, foreign desires, and fragmented, very tragic memories belonging to the donor within the personality of a schoolboy. He believes and behaves as though he going mad in this supernatural thriller.

Cute story about two male foxes from different castes in love with each other from childhood.

Wonderful shounen ai fluff-puff stories: (1) A college student communicates with a boy, afflicted with a terrible illness, in the past via a magical implement. Obsessed with the mystery and strangeness, he devotes himself to this call from another time while ignoring the good friend at his side in the present. (2) A boy in the third year of high school coos over a childhood friend who is entering first year, misreading all the signals and signs that are being sent his way. Nanoka has come up with some very sweet stories which are perfect for light reading.

Odd little oneshot. There's a whole lot of story packed into this dialogue between a vampire and his lover, a military man determined to commit seppaku, but that's just decoration for the explicit smut, uniform fetish and fundoshi and Saiku Keita's beautiful drawings.
