I've made a tumblr version because to me tumblr seems to be a bit more accessible to most. (Plus I can easily view what I've posted in the past.) But I'll still post here just as often & I'll be posting downloads only on here. I'll also be re-posting many of the mangas I've already recommended on here for those who only view the tumblr version. (Sorry for that. Thanks for still reading what I post, lol. & I'm also posting new stuff on there, so it'll hopefully be a tolerable mix.)

So if you'd like to check it out, here's the link: ゆうの日毎 @tumblr

I don’t usually read shoujo-ai but I’m trying to understand humanity more, for myself & friends, thus I took up reading it recently. The first story I read after a few years happened to just, thankfully be, an amazing one. I’ve completely fallen for this mangaka. No matter what genre’s (aside from H) they may venture into in the future; I shall follow! Beautiful, clean art & simple, pure, realistic, & beautiful stories. They all have an amazing, simple charm to them. This story is no exception. It’s about unrequited love, heartbreak, & the awakening of something new. It’s a sweet story. I hope, if you read it, you will enjoy it as I did.

「片恋姫」

Katakoihime

Mangaka: 乙ひより (Otsu Hiyori)
Genre: Drama, School Life, Shoujo Ai
Summary: “Ooishi has never had a crush on anyone, believing it was easier not to love. Until the moment she meets Mizuho, a self-proclaimed “Mermaid” who’s love will never be returned.” - Baka-Updates

Daily Manga

Because traps/cross-dressers are in lately. (& I have no problem with that.) As much as I’d love to kick off the “genre” with a BL or trap manga, I think I’ll try easing people into it (in hopes of recruiting followers to the interest, hurhur.) So, that being said, this is a great cross-dressing themed shoujo manga. Good art (shoujo style of course) with some interesting characters & some funny situations. (Even the side character related oneshots are good.) If you’d like to read something “relatively/barely” serious that will make you laugh, this is a good one. I think everyone should be able to enjoy it (& I hope you do). 

「うそつきリリィ」

Usotsuki Lily

Mangaka: 小村あゆみ (Komura Ayumi)

Genre: Comedy, Gender Bender, Romance, School Life, Shoujo

Summary: “Hinata Saotome is suddenly asked out by En Shinohara, a gorgeous boy in her grade. What she doesn’t know, though, is that his hobby is cross-dressing! En has always hated men, and whenever he sees his own reflection, he punches out whatever is doing the reflecting (windows, mirrors…). To combat this hatred, he dresses up as a girl. Hinata decides to go out with him anyway, despite his weird hobby.” - Baka-Updates

Daily BL

Today's BL is a beautiful Tsurugi Kai/Asagiri Yuu collaboration work. With Tsurugi-sensei's beautiful art & Asagiri-sensei's interesting (& quite sexy) story, this is a great read. Asagiri-sensei came up with an amazingly interesting concept about an author/musician who can "see" sound in colors. I found it to be pretty fascinating (plus it made the sex scenes very interesting, lol.) I hope you will like it.

「Mr.シークレットフロア 小説家の戯れなひびき」

Mr. Secret Floor

Author: あさぎり夕 (Asagiri Yuu)
Mangaka: 剣解 (Tsurugi Kai)

As a famous mystery writer, he’s sought after by many publishers. Aiba Takuto from Cosmo Publisher was newly appointed to handle the task of obtaining the famous novelist's manuscripts. How far would this new editor go to get the manuscripts?" - Baka-Updates

Shoujo-Ai

Should I start randomly recommending some? I hardly ever read it but I'm trying to appreciate it more because I have bi/lesbian friends & I do enjoy understanding humanity in it's entirety even just a little bit more. So. The question is. Would anyone be interested in the genre if I were to start recommending some stories?

Daily Manga

Today's manga, Heartbroken Chocolatier, by the great Mizushiro Setona-sensei is an interesting one. It's classified shoujo but seems more josei/seinen to me. Who knows/cares. Beautiful art and a great story. All about unrequited love, chocolate, & human relations. Only a few chapters have been scanned thus far, so you might not get that explanation for awhile, but eventually. (I'm trying not give anything away.) It's currently ongoing so I can't say too much, but thus far; I love it. It's put together perfectly. It's so balanced while handling things people usually consider taboo & things people usually over dramatize that I can only call it a masterpiece. No wonder it's been nominated for the 4th manga Taisho awards. At any rate. If you read it, I hope you'll enjoy it.

「失恋ショコラティエ」

Shitsuren Chocolatier

Mangaka: 水城せとな (Mizushiro Setona)
Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romance, Shoujo
Summary: "Souta, who's attending a confectionary school, is in a relationship with Saeko, a girl one year older than him. He fell in love at first sight with her four years ago, and right before Christmas last year, they finally had their first kiss. Because his girlfriend really loves chocolate, every day, Souta tries to polish his chocolate-making skills. Even when his girlfriend smells like cigarettes although she doesn't smoke, even when she turns down his invitation to a date on Valentine's day, he's still not broken-hearted at all, and he still continues to love her...

Nominated for the 4th Manga Taisho Awards (2011)." - Baka-Updates

Today's BL is one I recently read by Ike Reibun. I'm probably over-thinking it and reading too much into it, but if I'm not; Ike Reibun is a genius. An amazing, beautiful, incredible person. Why? Because from what I can see in this oneshot; She seems to be addressing the recent manga ban, the stupidity & power of the politicians, & the mindless sheep-like personality of the populace. It seems to address so many of the issues in such a terrifying yet hilarious manner that one can not help but be incredibly impressed and can't help loving the story. Even if that is not Ike Reibun's intention; I still loved this story. I hope you do, too. (And yes, the cover below & the story listed are different. The cover reads "Natsu ni Shiniyuku Monogatari" & does not seem to be listed in BU. If you'd like to know more; Google it yourself.)

「Dangerous Symphony」

Mangaka: 池玲文 (Ike Reibun)
Genre: Comedy, Sci-fi, Yaoi
Summary: "Rock and Homero live in a world, where all kinds of laws restrict people and you can get arrested for the simplest things. Naturally, being love with another man is frowned upon." - Baka-Updates

A short oneshot from Nakamura Asumiko-sensei. It's incredibly beautiful. In every way. & If you've seen "The Man in The Iron Mask" with Leonardo De Caprio; It's quite similar, but better. Full color with Nakamura-sensei's amazing art. Anyways. I loved this one & hope you will too.

Daily BL

I'm a big Madarame Hiro fan. Not as much for their most well known works; but more so for their hint of craziness & beautiful, unique art. So. This is a oneshot & sequel to "Kyou Anata ni Wakare wo Tsugemasu" which I post a few pages back. It's terribly beautiful, as always. I hope you'll like it.

「明日君に愛をささやく」

Ashita Kimi ni Ai wo Sasayaku

Daily Manga

"The Place Promised in Our Early Days", adapted by the amazing Sahara Mizu-sensei. I've only read chapter one so far, but I can promise I'll be reading it to the very end (& probably be wishing for more when it ends.) Sahara-sensei's incredible art just makes Shinkai-sensei's stories all the better. So, I hope you'll like it as well.

「雲のむこう、約束の場所」

Kumo no Mukou, Yakusoku no Basho

Mangaka: 佐原ミズ (Sahara Mizu)
Author: 新海誠 (Shinkai Makoto)
Genre: Drama, Psychological, Romance, Sci-fi, Seinen
Summary: "In an alternate history of the aftermath of World War II, Japan has been cleaved in half, with the south—Honshu and the other islands—allied with the United States and the northern island Hokkaido annexed by the enigmatic Union. It was on Hokkaido that a mysterious tower had been built, a strand of metal reaching up out of the atmosphere, visible from the northern tip of Honshu. In 1996, three teenagers, Hiroki, Takuya and Sayuri, make a pact—they will build an experimental aircraft, almost invisible to surveillance, cross over to Hokkaido and unlock the secrets of the tower. Their dream was never realized, because Sayuri was sent to Tokyo for treatment after she fell into a coma. It is now three years later. The rosy illusions of youth have fallen away, but not the unbreakable strength of the trio’s promise. The truth of the tower will be uncovered, and with it, the link between it and Sayuri’s mysterious, carefully tended condition." - Baka-Updates

Daily BL

The first two chapters about the vampire Naoyuki & the human who lives with him, Kou, are very mild, cute, & comedic. Shounen ai was as far as they took that story. But in the third chapter involving Naoyuki's brother, Yukito, & the werewolf, Seiichiro, is more on the Yaoi side. They don't really show much of the H scene's, but you know they are there. The rest of the chapters are oneshots & all so diverse and interesting. One being about a man with a mysophobic lover & another being a school romance. It's a nice mix, with interesting, refreshing stories & beautiful unique art. I find it a pity that the mangaka doesn't seem to have anything else out.

「それは食べてはいけません。」

Sore wa Tabete wa Ikemasen

Mangaka: 小石川 あお (Koishikawa Ao)

Daily Manga

I had actually been avoiding this one for years because when I read it in middle school, I wasn't very into it. But I figured I had to give it another chance & started rereading it a few months back. That was one of the best choices I've ever made, lol. It's ana amazing story. Long, very entertaining, & extremely well written/illustrated. It's comical yet serious with great art. The name fits it perfectly. So, if you've yet to read this one; I definately recommend it. It's probably in my top 10.

In 2003 Kaze Hikaru won the Shogakukan Manga Award for shoujo." - Baka-Updates

Daily BL

A new series by Nitta-sensei. Two chapters released & it's already at a level where you'd have to take a cold shower after reading. As expected, lol. But this series looks pretty interesting. A blind phsycal therapist(?) who can see visions about a person when he touches them. A cop who meets and falls in love with him, letting himself be held by him. But is the blind man really who he says he is? And why is he being investigated? It seems like it will be pretty fun to read.

Genre: Mystery, Yaoi
Summary: "A passionate amour. The moment my fingertips touched his skin, I fell in love. An all-new love legend between men by Nitta Youkai!!!" - Baka-Updates

Daily Manga

Eve no Jikan is another great Seinen manga based off of a hit novel. I had started watching the animation a while back but never finished, so I was ecstatic when I saw this being scanned. Good art & a nice feel. And interesting & entertaining story that almost makes one wish for such robots. I always love it when you can make sci-fi a slice of life story as well. Worth a read & watch (the animation has great art.)

Their appearance - indistinguishable from humans except for the ring over each android's head - has led some people to empathize unnecessarily with androids. Known as "android-holics", such people have become a social problem.

Rikuo, a high school student, has been taught from childhood that androids are not to be viewed as humans, and has always used them as convenient tools. One day Rikuo discovers some strange data in the behavior records of his family's household android, Sammy.

Rikuo and his friend Masaki trace Sammy's movements, only to discover a mysterious café that features a house rule that "humans and robots are to be treated the same"..." - Baka-Updates

Daily Manga

A very good & well known novel (made anime & now manga). Written by the same man that created Hoshi no Koe. Great art by the mangaka who adapted it. A very good, bitter-sweet, realistic story about first love, separation, losing one's self and dreams, & starting again. Most definitely worth a read (& watch. Hell. Buy the novel.)

Daily BL

A BL manhua adapted from a Chinese novel. (Novel can be found on Sooky's LJ.) Beautiful art and a pretty interesting story. BL manhua has really caught my eye lately, yet most of the ones I come across are crap. So I' glad there are so great BL novelist/manhuaga's like these two, out there. If you'd like to try something new & see some beautiful BL; this is a great choice.

As Feng Ming starts to get a hold of the conspiracies surrounding him, what will happen when the prince's true identity is revealed? And what happened to the 'real' prince?" - Baka-Updates

Daily Manga

So far this one looks pretty promising. It's a tale of the Gauls (the inhabitants of an old region, Gaul, the encomposed much of western Europe) resisting the control/take-over of the Romans. When the Gauls had given in, one man, Agrippa, arrives and sturs up revolt. And so the story begins. Good art and entertaining thus far.
