Boys Next Door
this is probably my favorite of all time yaoi. so short and i always cry! The art style is gorgeous. the story is a little superficial despite best efforts. jack the ripper appears as a motif in many of kaori yuki's works. In this story, the main character Adrian portrays a ripper-like serial killer. Incest is another common theme in her works, introduced in this story in a plot twist. This may be because the story was too short to gradually introduce it (see: angel sanctuary). Overall a good read. It is only three chapters so its hard to go wrong.
Long Way Home
yes it has sex in it but this story would be more fittingly categorized under "tragedy" than "yaoi". It is about a deeply in debt now homeless guy who is offered the chance to forgive his debt. In exchange, he has to kick a young male prostitute out of a building he has been squatting in. This is the saddest story. Yui from Night Walk. I gave this three stars since it is a whole lot of emotion for such a short story. It would do better if there were more time to develop it.
Giglio
please dont read it. this is one of those yaoi that makes you never want to read yaoi again.
Itou-san (KURAKA Sui)
about a prostitute and an assassin. it had a very "boys next door" (kaori yuki) vibe to it. very dark, very messed up. one of those yaoi that makes you not want to read yaoi anymore. ugh those bonus chapters really tug at the heartstrings
Calling (MIYAMOTO Kano)
bonus tragic story about a shut-in possible murderer? main stories about a near future terrorism (sex?) squad. just a gem all around. in the end they decide to have a wedding, with two tuxedos, and i almost cried.
Shisei no Otoko
see i was smart this time when i saw it going downhill, i checked the tags to see what people said. everyone said STOP READING NOW! THIS IS A TRAGEDY MANGA AND does not fuck around! So yeah, stopped in chapter 4, before it gets all FUCKED. I can pretend this ends after the third chapter. the art is amazing though
Escape From The Night
not censored in the least. the most detailed genitalia in yaoi history. the one with the guy who fucks his carpenter because he is scared of the dark and there is a power outage.
