Ichigo no Yume - Shimatsuya Risuke no Kaii Jikenchou
I loved this story for many reasons. It’s a historical yaoi (more shounen-ai really) that isn’t a tragic story. It had interesting MCs that made an enjoyable couple to get to know. There were chilling moments with the demon lore woven into the story but nothing that was over the top. The pacing of the stories and romance seemed effortless. My only complaint is that the mangaka was not given enough pages to do justice to the Nekomata story. That was really sad because it was the most interesting demon for me
Samurai Lover
A fun romp with a time displaced samurai from the Meiji era (Aza Kaneatsu) and the college student grandson of a temple priest (Higaira Ikkei). The only way for Kaneatsu to return to his own time is for someone to fall in love with him. Unconcerned if that person is a guy or girl, Kaneatsu turns to Ikkei and demands his love. So starts the fun with this story that doesn’t take itself too seriously and two adorable guys who will find out that love has a time and place, and is best spent together.
