At the End of the Road

Complete | Haribo | 2016 released

The artwork is absolutely fantastic. I love the original style and beauty of the backgrounds. I instantly fell in love with the story right away. It was really interesting and the whole bodyswap was something I wasn't expecting. The one thing i really enjoy about this theme of body swapping is the way the issues and problems of body swapping brings for the character. It is realistic in that it is relatable and brings issues of "identity" and having to live through someone else's shoes (quite literally). It really hits home for anyone who is facing difficulties with identity crisis and discovering who they are as a person. The way that the author handles the dark themes of bullying is realistic and even psychological. I especially love the way that new characters are being introduced and I love the chemistry between the 2 main characters. I absolutely love Woojin and how mysterious he is and I really love how dark/manipulative and cunning he is, especially towards Siwoon/Taemin. The way Woojin show's his love towards Taemin is very possessive and you can tell he was struck hard with Taemin's death. Overall the story is getting really good and the comedic bantering between the main characters is fantastic. A GREAT READ! ;)

Super Lovers

Ongoing | abe miyuki | 2009 released

I really love the creative artstyle. I love the beautiful relationship between all the brothers. If you want a family centered/growing up yaoi manga, this is if a good read. The characters are adorable, relatable, funny and really heart warming. You can find yourself relating to at least one character and finding yourself hooked. Honestly the relationship between the two brothers is cute and funny. The theme of family is really prominent in this manga, which I absolutely adore. Honestly I feel a lot of conflicting emotions for poor Ren, seeing as how emotionally scared and damaged he is. Honestly the author is executing the issues of family and "love" beautifully, and honestly I feel so bad for Ren, because of the constant reminder of him loosing his "family". If you're looking for something good to start off with then this is a fantastic, heart warming, family centered, comedic, lovable series.

Tight Rope

Complete | natsume isaku | 2008 released

This is freaking adorable. I loved the OVA and the manga was just as cute. If you love yakuza/childhood friends yaoi manga, this is going to be a fun read. I loved the comedy and chemistry between the main characters. It was really funny and honestly cracked me up a lot. You'll enjoy this for sure!

Dash!

Complete | natsume isaku | 2006 released

This was a really funny read. I loved the voice actors of the drama CD so be sure to check it out. The chemistry between the characters was fantastic and I loved the theme of loving someone despite their flaws. The senpai/kohai relationship was adorable and the central theme of sports was cute and well thought of. Overall it's fantastic, funny and the plot is adorable too. It honestly is relatable for those who are struggling to figure out their sexuality and accepting themselves and other people (despite their flaws or past experiences).

Haikyuu!! - Kokoro Control (Doujinshi)

Complete | Bubunhanten (Circle) | 2000 released

This is one of the haikyuu dj that I've read at least 20 times. The artwork is by my author and the artwork is so cute and almost like the anime/manga. The storyline is freaking ADORABLE and relatable to those who are struggling with loving someone and not knowing what to do with all the emotions and issues that come along with loving others. I love the portrayal of Tobio and Hinata, it is pretty canon and accurate to how they would behave if they were in a relationship. The storyline was fantastic in showing Tobio's frustrations and overbearing emotions/love for Hinata. IT WAS FUNNY, ADORABLE, AND ANGSTY ALL AT ONCE. Overall a great read.

Glow!

Complete | Yamada Papiko | 2000 released

This is an amazing shounen ai manga. The artwork is by my favourite author and the story line is progressing at a good pace. The comedy is GOLDEN, I literally pissed myself over the damn dog >.< The aspect of family and loss is really touching and I absolutely adore the main character. I love the slow development and the budding relationship (no pun intended... since you know, it's about flowers and gardening... nevermind XD) Overall this is freaking great so far and you'll enjoy it. The romance is steady and slow paced but worth it.

Ashita wa Docchi Da!

Ongoing | Yamamoto Kotetsuko | 2015 released

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SERIES! I'm loving it so far. It's freaking hilarious and the main character is such a tsundere XD I love the concept of a pretty boy trying to be all tough and gangster. If you want to start off in the yaoi community, this is a great manga to start with. The main character's are oblivious and hilarious. ESPECIALLY THE CHICKEN! :D Honestly this is great read and the delinquent theme is cute too.

Raising a Bat

Complete | Jade | 2015 released

It started out great, but is it just me or did the plot kinda fall flat on it's face? Don't get me wrong, this is cute and I really liked how it started but then it just kinda got boring? I felt like the whole plot was kinda cliche and was kinda simple. Like it wasn't all that original. I liked Kim Sam much better than Park min Gyeom. I just found him kinda weak and I felt bad for him. Overall it was good for a time passing kinda manga. If you like vampires then this a good read, but the plot kinda falls on it's face later so be warned!

Haikyu!! Dj - Caramel Panic

Complete | bubun hanten (kazuki rai) | 2015 released

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAV DOUJINSHI'S. I freaking love the author and I must have read this at least 10 times already. It was so cute and adorable as hell.

Haikyuu!! - Usotsuki Canon (Doujinshi)

Complete | Bubunhanten (Circle) | 2000 released

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST DOUJINSHI (story wise) I've ever read. It really does portray the issues of teen sexuality and the struggles with confessing and coming out. Honestly I don't think I've read a more realistic gay teen dj before. I really love the theme of confessing to someone you consider a friend and feeling like you might get rejected. Honestly this hooked me and the FEELS AND ANGST were so touching. Honestly I felt so bad for Hinata in this. Honestly this is so relatable to anyone who has been in this situation before. The awkwardness and fear of rejection that come with being in love with your best friend really hits home and this was fantastic. The artwork was just as beautiful as the story.
