Quick Update

New serialization from Sakuraga Mei: Mujihi na Yoru ni. I think I'm not gonna buy a magazine this time since the shipping cost has skyrocketed and I don't know when it's gonna end (don't want to wait for 6 years again 😂).

PS I bought Kira/Kokonoe book but I haven't read it yet. I heard the drawing style was changed drastically (and not in a good way). If that's true, it's unfortunate since we've been waiting for so long. Well, maybe it's better than having no content at all. Have to read it first.

Author: Sakuraga Mei

Synopsis[baka-updates]: The series alternates between different sets of pairs. Although it's supposed to be read as a whole, you can skip volumes with the pair(s) you don't like (which is not recommended at all because the events in the Warui Koto Shitai universe still progressing in every new volume).

i see u read/watch yaoi 👀 do you have any recs!!

Why hello there, yes I do indeed! I haven't read very much new yaoi within the years, so my list won't change too much from my past previous recs. You can look up these titles but I'm linking to my tags so you can see the art style and snippets.

Saeuzuru Tori Wa Habatakanai by Yoneda Kou - I'm clearly obsessed with this series as you may have seen it plastered all over this blog. Gorgeous and devastating, with characters with characters that will break your heart as you fall in love. Def give the manga a read and there are currently two OVAs out.

Doukyuusei by Nakamura Asumiko - the most beautiful series ever made, I will never stop talking about it (the movie is INCREDIBLE). I've read these books more times than I can count and I fall in love every single time as if it's the first time. The art style is beyond words and the character relationships are really unlike anything I've ever read in a yaoi.

Mujihi Na Otoko by Sakuraga Mei - Perhaps you're wanting something a bit more smutty. There's three books in this series, and the author writes two other couples with their own books in this same universe. I personally love the couple in this series (there's 3 Mujihi volumes) and it's fabulously evocative and smutty.

Ringo Ni Hachimitsu by Hideyoshico - I love this mangaka's art style. This is more of a slice of life style-esque but it's one of my favs. There's two volumes in this series.

And believe it or not, that's it. I used to read a ton but I haven't read anything new in a while. These are just my staples that I can recall. There tends not to be a lot of yaoi anime and not very good either.

Some useful info

Since I have a thread for Warui series in MangaUpdates some fans have asked me this year: 'What happened with Warui series serialization? Why isn’t it getting chapters in Hanaoto and Boy’s Capi magazines? Is Sakuraga sensei ill?’

First of all, Sakuraga sensei is fine. There’s no official new saying that she’s ill. The only official new behind her absence was given by herself in her blog last December 2017, and she said that she was on holidays (translation here). Aside from that, Houbusha hasn’t said a word.

About Warui serialization: there are some short stories that have been published in the limited edition booklets included in some Hanaoto issues this year. Also, there have been some previews for the 3rd Makoto x Tōru chapter, but for some unknown reasons, it has been delayed by Houbunsha. At this point, I dare to say that Sakuraga sensei has their story complete and it just needs to get published.

Let’s cross our fingers and hope we get more of Sakuraga sensei’s work next year. Also, we need to see more development for the most recent pairs too, so I find it hard that Hanaoto suddenly stops giving us content:

Shirō/Nao pair needs to get more chapters since Hayate should start getting along with Nao now. Of course that in order to achieve that, more Kimi wo Koro Shitai chapters will be needed too. Hayate would learn how to be a good brother to Nao thanks to Yuzuru, who has a beautiful relationship with Tōru.

And if you want to add more plot reasons, we have the Mika/Towa one, which is the main ship. If we trace a timeline in the series, it’s not been so long since Towa realized he loves Mikado, and he doesn’t even know about Kuon and Nanao’s relationship either. The Aikawas have a lot to say yet.

There’s the Haji/Masa pair too. What has Sakuraga sensei prepared for those two weirdos? 

Okay, I hope this post helps you know the latest news about Sakuraga sensei. Just stay tuned, I’ll post more news in this post and in the MU thread, as usually do.

What are the new stories in warui series??

Hullo! Sorry that Francesco missed your ask.

To answer your question, currently there’s no new stories. After Himitsu Ja Nai Kedo, there are only some short stories. Since most of them aren’t being translated yet, it’s also hard to read them or find them online.

Hope this answers! :)

Cheerio, Francesco

Between his intense workload and asshole boss, salaryman Hirokuni is burnt out! He’s on the edge of a nervous breakdown when Kai, an childhood friend he used to look after, comes to visit for the first time in 12 years. Kai has recently become homeless, so Hirokuni reluctantly lets him move in.

Isn’t it kind of nice to be taken care of for once…?

The domestic story of a handsome, cool guy with great housekeeping skills and a lonely, burned out salaryman!

Review Proper

I remember that this was quite popular way back when it was still ongoing, but I never read it for some reason (neither had anyone in my circle wtf). The romance aspect of it all is as generic as it can get. I mean, there’s literally so many things that come to mind when you say “childhood friends with dubcon and the bottom’s an annoying tsundere”, ya know? Hello, Sakuraga Mei and Nekota Yonezou. I do, however, need to admit that I was intrigued with how Mayo employed the issue of black companies here. No matter how bs the start of their cohabitation was, there were so many layers to both of their problems, adding to the realism of it all. To all my lovelies who are reading this review and are stuck in the same situations, all the best to you. 

I won’t be talking much about the plot  ‘cause most of y’all already know what went down here, so I’m gonna jump straight into the technicalities now.

FINALLY! MASSUU REDEMPTION!

I mean, he did great in that Momose An shitstorm, but it’s almost been a year since I’ve heard him bottom. AND I LOVED THIS PERFORMANCE OF HIS!!! I absolutely adored Massuu’s performance as Red Riot in BnHA and was low-key hoping that he’d use that tone in a BLCD, but I’ve never heard it in the BLCDs of his owned so far. Looking at Hirokuni, I thought that Massuu would use something similar to his calm and brooding Ao-senpai tone, but he came at me with his Red Riot on the get go! It took a little getting used to, but his Red Riot Hirokuni really grew on me. I suddenly got my dream come true, y’all. *wipes tear*

As for Mr. Maeno,

I love how Massuu and Maeno were in back-to-back Momose An dumpster fires and redeemed themselves here. I call this a Momose An cleanse. 👍I also love how I just heard Kawahara in a younger tone before this and now I have a younger Maeno! MY GOD CHESK OF SEPTEMBER 2021! ARE YOU SOME SORT OF GENIUS??? Anyway, like all the seiyuus mentioned in this paragraph, Maeno also did phenomenal. UGH. HE SOUNDS LIKE ULTIMATE BOYFRIEND MATERIAL HERE ESP AFTER HE WENT DOMESTIC!!! Y’ALL GOTTA HEAR HIS BOYISH LAUGH GOODBYE

Me calling to check if there are any spare Maenos for sale:

We had great pacing, voice work, and it was true to the manga overall. It had some addends, but nothing really major. I have to confess that I read the first chapters from Yuutosei because futekiya’s translation was annoying in some parts ‘cause they structure their sentences poorly sometimes and like using idioms randomly. I mean, how does a plain “You’re drunk, aren’t you?” and “I am not!” translate into: 

We love to see it. Y’all are also missing an (as) before sober. Those two aren’t even common in American English. 

And let’s not forget their preview:

vs the original:

As you can see, Kai’s supposed to only be in monotone during the whole series, so there are no exclamation points in the raws. And why’d they turn Hirokuni into an asshole??? I mean, “ひでーな” is literally “You’re so cruel/That’s so mean” in English, but I chose “ouch” ‘cause it needs to be short and “meanie” sounds weird for Kai. Anyway, Hirokuni’s a tsundere, but he’s definitely not an asshole! Don’t copystrike me, Christopher.

Uhh, please still support the official locali translation, though. Thank god I can understand Japanese. For more cohabitation when they’s, I would recommend the two BLCDs I previously reviewed in this log, Kare no Iru Seikatsu and Shinkonsan. Both are licensed now too, so support, support!

Hanaoto October 2018 Issue

October’s Hanaoto issue included a limited edition booklet with a 2-pages story devoted to Shino and Yuki.

Scan by @bog-initiate

Summary:

Yuki tries to take a nap after studying for an exam but is waken up by Shinonome, who excuses himself saying that he just wanted to look at him closely.

Yuki feels uncomfortable and tells Shinonome that he just wants to sleep. Shinonome bargains and asks him to take a nap together, but Yuki insists and tells him that it’ll be impossible to sleep with a horny beast like him.

Shinonome finally convinces him and takes a closer look to his face and body, but he gets even hornier when he sees Yuki’s pink nipples.

Finally, Yuki calls him a pervert and kicks him.
