This week's supposed releases

It hasn't been such a good start of the year for yaoi...

There was only 3.... I think...
You & Me, etc. by Blu released Feb 8, according to amazon. It didn't reach my country.... meh

Bokurani Matsuwaru

I have the scans, it's full of angst!  Baseball angst! It was nice, but I wouldn't read it if I was already feeling bad...

Close the Last Door v2. I was so excited when I saw that it was going to be released... But of course... it didn't get here! Damn...
And this was the last volume too!

Saigo no Door wo Shimero!  

It's sequel, Open the Door to Your Heart was released last year, and I was able to get it :)

Aiteru Door kara Shitsurei Shimasu yo 

No Touching at All - it's so sweet and cute and angsty! The way they meet for the first time is funny... This one I was able to get ^_^
And there was a part in the end where it wasn't scanlated! And it was so sweet!

Doushitemo Furetakunai  

This coming week looks promising though
Blue Sheep Reverie v3 - here I was thinking I could finally read it completely when I got volume 2... and then I find out there are AT LEAST 2 more volumes...

Blue Sheep Reverie v3

Kizuna deluxe v2 - I wasn't able to get the first volume here, but I will order it either on amazon or rightstuf. I am hoping this going to be released here in my country...

Kizuna Deluxe v2

Love Syndrome - only 1 chapter was scanlated, and I just re-read it... I am soooooooo looking forward to it *drool*. They're basically oneshots, except for the 3rd story which is chapters 3 and 4.

Love Syndrome

And... Then Comes Love. This probably has one of the most clueless semes there is... It was annoying at first, but I've read the scans a few times and I want it. I guess it grew on me. I just wish there was a story about Soeshima sempai.

Then Comes Love

So... that's it for now... Hopefully these titles will come out this week AND be released here in my neck of the woods...

Oh! Oh! I ordered manga and DVDs from amazon more than a month ago and tried a new way of shipping it to me. A friend and I shared the shipping cost of US$30. Not bad for a box with 16 items, but... it's taking so frigging long! It's supposed to arrive by Friday, March 4...
I want to be able to drool on my Black Butler DVDs.... Sebby!!!!

This week's releases

Yes, I know that there was no entry last week... Basically because there was no yaoi released last week... Not in this backward country anyway...
Under Grand Hotel vol 2 was officially released (it was available a month ago on akadot retail... they're special...). It wasn't available at the store, so I'm hoping that it's gonna be available at the store THIS week...

*takes a deeeeeeeeeeep breath*
YOSH! Onto this week's announced releases.
This comes from the site I go to to see which graphic novels are released this week, and those that are supposed to be released next week.
I haven't been to the store since I haven't been to work yet, so I don't know what they have for me this week.
Monday, there was a bus strike(stupid really), and I knew I wasn't going to be able to get a cab to work. If I did, the driver would probably ask me to add 100 pesos (about AU$2.50) to the fare. This may not be much, but I only usually have to pay up to 150 pesos. I was all dressed up and everything too... Tuesday was declared a holiday because of a muslim thing... 

Kiss Blue vol 2, finally, the conclusion to the story. More than 2 years between volumes x.x
This actually has one of the more typical story lines of BL (yup, this is just BL, not yaoi). Involving 2 best friends, one falls in love with the other, who is a playboy. The one in love tries to hide his feelings to be able to stay beside the other as his friend. I really liked this for some reason that escapes me at the moment. The art isn't what I'd rave about, but it's really good and decent compared to some others out there. Here's hoping that there's a wee bit of smutt in this one :D
This was scanlated, but I wasn't able to get it :(

Treasure vol 1. FINALLY! Another series that I reallly like. There are 4 volumes in all. And 1 more as a spin off, not sure if it's been licensed along with this one though.
This is about 2 cousins, one from the countryside and very innocent, the other city smart and loves bullying his cousin. As they say, boys bully the one they like *snicker*. The country boy has a few surprises up his sleeve. He is extremely sporty, inhumanly strong and a quick learner... but not that quick hehehe
I have all scanlations of course, I wouldn't be this excited otherwise.
Riyu Yamakami is one of the mangakas that I like ^_^

Now, the non yaoi... it's actually a novel, not a manga

Yashakiden vol 3. Written by the same mangaka that wrote the Vampire Hunter D series (I LUUUUUUUUUUUUURV D!)
Scary cover o.o;;
Like some other books that I own, this is one series that I have, but have not read yet... ^.^;;

There is no yaoi or BL or any other graphic novel on my list scheduled to be release next week, which is a good thing... I guess... I'm waiting for amazon to have a sale after thanksgiving, hoping that the stuff I have in my shopping cart would be on sale or be given a bigger discounted price...

Oh... I did get 1 manga and 1 novel last week...

Maoh: Juvenile Remix vol 3...

scary lookin dude o.o
I HOPE it's a dude o.o;;;

and Summer, Fireworks and My Corpse... sounds interesting, no? ;)

OK kiddies, this is it for now... I'm going to be reading the spin off of Treasure before I go to bed :D

New manga day!

Very common title isn't it? hehehehe

Yes, after buying all those books during the weekend, I still went out and bought more this week! There were yaoi titles released this week, OF COURSE I'm going to buy them!

Let's begin with the non-yaoi... non manga in fact...Superman: Earth One

the emo superman...

I don't know what I was thinking when I got this... and at a more expensive price too!

If I don't like it, I can probably give it to my friend who's into this. But.... I might hold on to it for a while to see if it becomes a collectible...

I'm scared coz it's supposed to attract the twilight people *shudder*... Hopefully I don't have the urge to burn this like I did the twilight manga (this also made me laugh my head off at the lame-ness of the story)

....

Uh-oh... The Superman GN got 2 1 star ratings on amazon! But, there were 14 5 star ratings... I guess I'll have to read it to be able to see...

Amazon has sample pages, but it's not enough to tell if I will like it or not (I loved the last page though). It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be when I read that it was supposed to attract... them... *cough*

and that's it, the others are manga or manga related...

like...

uh... Naruto o.o

I had a peek of the insides before I got the Naruto Illustration Book. If the pictures had all been of him, I wouldn't have bought it.The illustration that sold me the book was of Naruto and Sasuke facing each other. And the way I held the book made it look like they were about to kiss! Hahahahaha... yeah... it freaked the sales people at the store when I said it out loud... >>;;

The back cover had Naruto's back...

Otomen... I will read you someday!

Otomen vol. 8 .... Ok.... 8 volumes purchased.... None read... x.x

11 volumes out in Japan and still ongoing... *sigh*

He acts more girly than a lot of girly girls I know o.o

And now... the YAOI!

Yup, this is yaoi and that's a guy

Love Water... I took a look inside just now, only one smutty pic! Hopefully the story will make up for it. But from the description, I might have to wait for a day when I'm feeling like reading a uber romantic story

Vampires!!! and not the sparkly kind!!

A Bloody Kiss Tonight by Makoto Tateno... Writer of yaoi yumminess... and shoujo? o.o
Oh yeah... I have one shoujo by her... Red Angel... complete in 2 volumes, and it's about vampires :D
I have the scans of Bloody Kiss and I said I was going to read it(the scans) before I went to bed, but I ended up reading the scans before I even made this entry ^_^;;
I normally don't like rape, but it wasn't quite that... I think... Rape with consent? At least it wasn't like the rape in Scarlet(still love this!) The stories were more romantic than I thought they would be, but not sickly sweet romantic. And it has smutt!!! Hehehehe
Makoto Tateno is among the mangaka whose work I look for. Loved Yellow... still waiting for the next volume of Yellow 2 to come out. Warui Yume is one of the oneshots I keep reading over and over again. Ka Shin Fu was one of the titles that didn't sit well with me for some reason... maybe I was in an off mood the day I read it...

Oh! Oh! I loooooooooooooooved How to Capture a Martini!

and it's sequel/spin-off How to Control a Sidecar

Martini has a sad story, with a nice romantic (and smutty) ending
Uh... Sidecar does have rape, but it has something to do with the story... and it's gooooooood...
I had the scans of Martini and only the first few of Sidecar, so I was so looking forward to it. Hated the fact that it took a while before they were finally released and I found out how Sidecar ended! But it was worth it, to me *sighs happily*

I need to stop now... it's long enough as it is...
Good night yaoi lovin', smutty people ;)

Happy Halloween! New manga!

Happy Halloween!!!

Homemade Vampire by Naono Bohra

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE NAONO BOHRA!!!! Her yaoi is so sexy! She needs more of her work to be licensed!

Okay.... I have to stop staring at the pic and get on with the entry :)
It's long so I tried the jump break thing >>
