Kizuna: Bonds of Love – Boys Love Classic Review

When Futekiya announced back in September of 2021 that this Boys Love classic manga would be coming to their subscription service to say I was excited was an understatement! First published in Japan in 1992 to 2008 and then being given an official English release by Digital Manga Publishing from late 2010 to 2012 the …

Monster and the Beast Vol 1 – Yaoi Manga Review

One is naïve and shy, the other a creature of carnal desire but don't assume you know who is who by looking at the cover of this yaoi manga. There are two things I would love to see more of in boys love titles if I am completely honest, stories that focus on characters that …

It’s Fine Even If It’s Just a Dream – BL Manga Review

There are a lot of angst filled yaoi and boys love manga out there. From problematic tropes and depressing stories of heart break and sometimes this is what you want to read. I myself enjoy a well written dark and angst filled story, but reading these kind of stories all the time can get very …

Notpia – Yaoi Manga Review

Warning the following manga I am reviewing is NOT SAFE FOR WORK and most likely NOT SAFE FOR LIFE either. If you do not know what guro is, do not look up this manga.  Many have asked me every now and again what is the most disturbing yaoi I have come across and without a …

Kotetsu Dining – Yaoi Manga Review

Kotetsu Dining is a quirky yaoi manga, to say the least, but it is a quirky story with a lot of heart at its core as well. Telling the story of the mysterious Hyuuga, a self-proclaimed masked pro-wrestler who has an actual tiger's head and tail and his air-headed roommate Akaru who works as a …

Thirsty for Love – Yaoi Manga Review

If you are looking for a fluffy yaoi story, look elsewhere. If you don't want to read a yaoi manga that involves a sexual relationship with a female classmate as well as a male then don't read this manga. If you are looking for a manga with an emotional pull that deals with the emotions …
