Yume Touka End Roll

Complete | jaryuu dokuro | 2012 released

Wtf, apparently I read this but have no memory of it. I properly tagged it, but didn't leave a review. Strange. Anyway, the first story is interesting and...kinda creepy. Maybe not even "kinda." There's an implication near the end there that this may not be the end of it. It's nice to think that they can move past that and love each other forever, but...feels more likely that this is gonna end in a murder-suicide. I dunno, it's yaoiland, so I'm sure it'll be fine. I guess we should just be happy he didn't rape him because he loves him so much. I have to re-read the other stories, because I don't remember them either, but... it's not bad what I've read so far.

Good morning, bad day

Complete | YAMASHITA Tomoko | 2012 released

I don't mind non-con when it's treated as the horrible act it is, but the fact that it's easily forgiven always disgusts me. Otherwise, this would have been a rather sweet, if not a bit odd, collection of stories. The rape is only in the fourth story, though, for those trying to avoid that.

Kitto Kiss O Suru Toki

Complete | kanda neko | 2015 released

This is very cute and sweet so far. I also really love that the brothers are so close, and there's no incest involved. Especially after it was revealed that they aren't blood relation. It's just nice to see platonic love between boys among the sexual. Yaoi-land tends to list romantic love above all other love, so I enjoy seeing it deviate from that.

Rikara

Complete | mizukami shin | 2000 released

The third one was sad but interesting. These stories were all a bit rushed, and some of them were pretty strange, but they were entertaining. This author really has a thing for rimming, haha. Three and a half stars.

Eerie Queerie

Complete | Shiozu Shuri | 1999 released

Been ages since I read this, but I still own it. I loved it at the time, probably still would.

Choco Strawberry Vanilla

Complete | psyche delico | 2000 released

It's a really messed up story with a very unhealthy relationship from beginning to end, but it works for me somehow. I don't usually like the way abusive/manipulative behavior is often treated as romantic in Yaoi-land, but I think the story here is at least semi-aware of how screwed up the relationship is here. Not that there are three of them, but that it's such a strange, controlling, pushy, co-dependent sort of relationship. Still, I'm glad that it ended on a happy note. I would love to read more involving these three, as long as they always end up together in the end.

Itsuka Koi Ga Kanau Made

Complete | cj michalski | 2006 released

Flawed and a bit silly in places, but still an enjoyable read. It might have benefited from being multiple volumes that allowed more character development, etc. But hey, everyone was hot, so I'm happy.

It was a little too fast paced, but it was sweet and cute. I don't know if this is a oneshot in a collection or if their story will continue, but I hope it continues.
