It's a dj, and I haven't watched the show or read the manga or whatever it is, so that might be why I was left unsatisfied. It's an interesting concept, but it fell kind of flat for me. But don't take my word for it. Even with shows and manga I have read, I'm not a huge fan of doujinshi anyway.

Kanpai! Dj - Unapai

Complete | Murakami Maki | 2000 released

I'd have to read it again, but I remember it being okay. Gory and weird, but okay. I'm not grossed out by that sort of thing, but it probably would disturb most people.

My Eternal Master

Sweet little oneshot where the victim of rape doesn't fall for his rapist. So hey. It's short, so it takes away some of the impact, but it's a nice enough story.

Monster (bara yaoi)

It was okay for what it was. I'm not super into bara, so the art didn't do it for me, but the story was... so-so. Some typical yaoi silliness, but it tried to at least address the emotional issues of the main character in the few short pages it had.

Saigo no Sangatsu

Ongoing | tsukumo gou | 2000 released

Wait, what? I'm so confused. I've read this manga twice before, and the ending is suddenly different. I swear that before, he raped his friend and then the friend leaves without them ever seeing one another again. It was heartbreaking and dark, and I liked that it didn't brush away the awful thing he did, just left its heavy presence in the absence of the boy he loved. There's no forgiveness for that sort of thing. So why does the end have a new part with him saying that they made up and dated? That makes no sense. Am I crazy? This is going to drive me nuts. Three stars for the original ending, one star for the ending they have right now. I swear I'm not making this up, but wtf.

Transient Flower

Complete | Harumi Chihiro | 2000 released

Very sad, but powerful and meaningful. The story wouldn't have had the same impact with a happy ending, but I wish I could see more of this character. She's interesting, and her story begs to be examined further. Oh well. I wish I could see her ripping out the hearts of those dick guys from before. It kind of reminds me of this horror manga that I found hilarious, about a girl who starves herself to get a guy to like her, and after she gets super skinny, he's into her, but as they kiss, she gets incredibly hungry from starving herself so long and eats him. That's how all guys like that should be handled.

Wakatte Kudasai

Complete | yoshimoto | 2016 released

I like it. Very creepy and unsettling. I want more creepy yaoi stories where it's obviously meant to be horrific and doesn't end with love magically blossoming.

Mizu no Ue no Tsuki

Complete | TSUKUMO Gou | 2000 released

So sad and screwed up! I can't tell if the implication is that Shirase drowned out of shock after the rape, or Shirase killed himself afterward. Either way, I feel so bad for Shirase. I wanted to cry when he was crying. Everything was going horribly in his life, then his best friend raped him, then he drowned. That's a pretty crappy way to go out. Ugh, too depressing. Now I need to read something fluffy.

The Memories Of Others

Complete | Kago Shintaro | 2000 released

Uh. Well, you can't say it's unoriginal. Lots of poop, though. That's never great. It's still amusing, though, so hey. I'd give it 2 1/2 stars.

Piercing Hole

Complete | Harada | 2015 released

Kind of dark and definitely pretty strange. I don't have a piercing fetish myself, so I couldn't join in their excitement, but the story was interesting, and I like their twisted relationship, even if it's slightly unhealthy.
