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.

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.

Venus ni Seppun

Complete | SADAHIRO Mika | 2010 released

Kind of a strange story. More than kind of. I need to read it again, but if memory serves, it was around a three or four rating to me.

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.

Tabun Sore ga Love Nanjanakarou ka

Ongoing | | 2000 released

I'm giving it four stars only because it says at the end that it's being continued, which I hope is the case. The sex in this didn't really do it for me, but I liked the foreshadowing that was hinted, the deeper drama, etc. The ending is sad only in the sense that the story isn't complete. It's a chapter ending, not the story itself, but I guess the tag could still apply.
