I don’t know if you noticed but this site is currently in it’s version 3.1.1 ^^ … I’ve been busy this past couple of weeks so I haven’t had time to do much here. Expect version 3.1.2 in the next 2 weeks. Version 3.1.2 is just a modification of the current version: meaning rearrangement of links and fonts etc. Also includes tinkering with the sidebar headers, the footer and comment portion.

To do list:

Bishounen version 3.1 is only a testrun / draft so it’s really simple but I’ll try and compensate by cooking up some really cool codes for you in the coming weeks ^^ assuming I don’t get sick of it first. hehe >__<

Suggestions are very much appreciated ^^ as usual hate mail will be deleted >_< bwahaha

New feature: Separate download page ^^ (password written at the end of this page!)

Here are three stories that everyone should at least check out.


J-Boy by Biblos (multiple artists)

Summary: This compilation from Biblos contains stories ranging from serious, true love, innocent love, perverted masters, and many gags. My favs are include a samurai whom travels Japan to find his Seme, a child and his beloved hero, a master magician with a penchant for making his innocent student act perverted, and an all boys school rampart with “spiritual names.” Artists include Haruka Minami, Ruiko, Homerun Ken, Naduki Koujima, Kyushu Danji, Natsuho Shino, and many more.

Pro: This 350+ page manga is a very good pick for any yaoi fan as well as an excellent book to use to initiate newbies to the fandom. There is a range of artists, each with different styles and some have manga that has been, or will be, published by June. Many of the stories are cute and most of the less beautiful stories are hilarious. $16.95 price.
Con: I didn’t like the sob story that takes up 50+ pages right in the middle of the manga; the art and the story didn’t grab me at all. I don’t think you’ll find this in any book store unless ordered; I got it from an anime store. And, since Biblos in Japan have long gone, I don’t think we’ll be getting another volume.

Publisher:June……………………Shounen ai - Yaoi

Minstrel’s Love by CJ Michalski

Summary: Minstrel Miura Noboru is desolate due to his lack of inspiration until a chance meeting at the park with high schooler Katagiri Yuuma awakens his muse. Despite Noboru being 99% creepy, Yuuma begins to warm up to him, even longing the time that they spend together.

Pro: Yuuma is cute :D. The story is very entertaining, especially once their feelings for each other are obvious. And Yuuma’s embarrassment towards what Noboru does is very funny.
Con: The huge style difference between Noboru and Yuuma makes the story feel very shota-ish, not to mention Noboru’s stalking tendencies and rough appearance during the first chapter. The story is only three chapters long.

Scanlator: ………………………Yaoi, 18+

Hydra by Miyamoto Kano

Summary: Returning from the hospital due to an accident, Naoyuki Hitomi hears from his classmates of Ryuu Utsumi, a transfer student from Kansai whom possesses fighting skill as well as a tattoo, not unlike the yakuza. Hitomi’s given a chance to see the infamous tattoo with Utsumi’s casual invitation and is allowed to draw his observation. While he draws, Hitomi gets to know Utsumi and realizes that perhaps there are reasons other than the tattoo that draws him to Utsumi.

Pro: The building of the relationship is subtle, with the boys slowly getting comfortable with each other. There is no out of the blue confessions; blushes are rare and almost unnoticeable. The mystery around Utsumi is very intriguing. The drawing is simple but, sometimes, beautiful as well.
Con: Some may be drawn away by the 80s looking artstyle. There is lots and lots of reading. Sometimes it’s hard to figure out what is happening in the panels/with the characters.

Scanlator: ………………….. Shounen ai - Yaoi

Pro: As horrible as my summary was, I highly recommend Selfish Love for people who like stories where opposites attract. Ryuya is cute in his denial and confusion while Orito makes you hate/love his pompousness. The first volume also includes two short stories, each with two chapters. Selfish Love would also appeal to fans of Koujima’s Our Kingdom.
Con:The price tag, of $15.99, is one problem I have with Selfish Love, which spans two books, but, other than that, I love the book and I think it’s worth checking out.

Yaoi, 18+
Publisher: Be Beautiful
Mangaka: Naduki Koujima

Summary: Iwaki and Katou are former AV actors before making it big in the acting industry. Now that they’re making a controversial (homosexual theme) film together can they stay in their game or will there be confusion and scandal?!

impression: OK.. >_> please excuse the horribly written summary. I didn’t want to copy/paste it from somewhere.^_^ I saw the OVA before reading the manga, that’s probably why I liked this OVA. When you read the manga you’ll see why. The animation did not come close to capturing Iwaki and Katou’s beauty! Plus the smex scene is so bleh O_o I still recommend this though. There’s really not much we can do with the animation but I say let’s just enjoy the story cause it’s one of the best out there.

My favorite manga is now animated! *drool* I love Ayase but it really is weird looking at him because he looks like a little girl. O__O

Mangaka: Tohru Kousaka

# of episodes: 4 OAV

Anyway, if you want to know more about the manga you should read batch 1: asrai’s all-time favorite.

Voice Actors:

Jun Fukuyama as Yukiya Ayase
Juurouta Kosugi as Somuku Kanou
Kouji Tsujitani as Homare Kubo
Wataru Hatano as Misao Kubo
Nobuo Tobita as Kaoruko Someya
Ryotaro Okiayu as Toranosuke Gion

Story: Munakata Mira is in love with his father, famous Hollywood actor Munakata Kyousuke. Unknown to the public, both of them are father and son as well as lovers. When Mira turns 15 and enters high school, he faces trouble with his childhood friend falling in love with him. Also, the fact that Kyousuke is not his biological father only depresses him further. Then there is also the problem of Kyousuke probably marrying Mira’s sempai’s mother, whose son seems to have an interest in Mira. ~ taken verbatim from ANN

impression: Hai it’s shota *gasp* O__O I’m now a fan of father x son pairings. It used to irk me before but now I find it totally hot. haha ^^

The uke here annoys me sometimes. Must be the way he moans O__O LOL

I give it a 4 because the animation is decent, there’s an actual plot >_< and the dad is hot! nyahaha ^__^

Gokujou no Koibito

Mangaka: Minase Masara

Genre: Romance, Model, hardcore yaoi, younger seme x older uke

Scanlated by

Status: ongoing

Summary: Kuniyoshi meets the new model he’s supposed to manage however what he finds is nothing but a spoiled rich brat. Yoshimi just wants to be popular and he used his father’s influence to get inside the modeling industry. How does he get to the top when new feelings arise or possibly a rival?

Impression: I love Yoshimi! He’s such a spoiled brat. He thinks he owns Yoshitaka after one night together. haha I love possessive guys..

Hidoi Otoko

Mangaka: Minase Masara
Genre: romance, younger seme x older uke

Scanlated by

Status: complete

Summary: When recently divorced Asou Katsumi is picked up in a bar by younger man Nagao Daisuke he has no idea what he’s in for.

Impression: another selfish younger man! hehe ^^ It’s a breath of fresh air to see a younger seme annoying the hell out of his older uke. With these type of pairing, both seme and uke has power over each other unlike the typical pairings in yaoi where the seme always gets the upper hand. Plus the uke is not weepish, I hate weepish uke they’re annoying.
