Daily BL

Today's BL is a great sports themed Est Em work. Holy hell am I addicted to their art. It's got a bit of a Romeo & Juliet thing going on. It's got a comfortable and easy feel to it. Very enjoyable. I think it can only be downloaded at the scanner's, The Moon In A Box's, LJ site. Well! Hope you like it.

「Ultras」

Mangaka: えすとえむ (Est Em)
Genre: Sports, Yaoi
Summary: "A victory for the national team was decided in the European Football Championship that night. The whole country overflowed with joy, including Leon who drank, raised hell, and ended up spending a night together with "someone he should never have gotten involved with." That man's name was Al, from the rival team Liberta's ULTRAS supporters club! He understands that it will never work, but from their first meeting, Al is lodged firmly in his heart. In addition to the hooligan edition of a Romeo and Juliet-style love story, there is also a swindler, a film director, a peeping tom, and others." - Baka-Updates

Daily Manga

Sorry for the late post. I've been caught up watching James Bond movies. xD; Anyways! Today's is a josei manga. I love it for the topic of it is so much different from your average manga. so what is it? The game Karuta! Hyakunin Isshu! The art is also really great. It's a fun story & it's won the 2nd manga Taisho award. I've also included the raws of volumes 1-9 out of 10 ongoing volumes below (but if you do download them please buy the manga, especially if you like it, to support the mangaka. They need the money. Desperately.) Enjoy.
