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.

Daily Manga

Today's manga is a rather amazing work by a very promising new-comer (they even won an award for being so) & it happens to fall under an amazing amount of genres, lol. The art is, well, a bit questionable at time proportionally, but then again it /is/ a shounen manga and when it really counts it's very good. Well! I hope you like this. (& if you do; please keep an eye out for their future works!)

「進撃の巨人」
Shingeki no Kyojin

Mangaka: 諌山創 (Isayama Hajime)
Genre: Action, Drama, Fantasy, Historical, Horror, Mature, Mystery, Psychological, Shounen, Supernatural, Tragedy
Summary: "Several hundred years ago, humans were nearly exterminated by giants. Giants are typically several stories tall, seem to have no intelligence, devour human beings and, worst of all, seem to do it for the pleasure rather than as a food source. A small percentage of humanity survived by walling themselves in a city protected by extremely high walls, even taller than the biggest of giants.

Flash forward to the present and the city has not seen a giant in over 100 years. Teenage boy Elen and his foster sister Mikasa witness something horrific as the city walls are destroyed by a super giant that appears out of thin air. As the smaller giants flood the city, the two kids watch in horror as their mother is eaten alive. Elen vows that he will murder every single giant and take revenge for all of mankind.

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

Daily Manga

Today's manga is one I've been rather enamored with. I really love the art style; especially the colorings. The way they draw kimonos is amazing. Aside from that, the story itself is pretty fun, frustrating, and easy to get into. But I have to say; I can't help hating Suguro, Konekomaru, and Moriyama. They are probably the biggest bitches I have ever seen in a shounen manga, lol. But back to the main point. It's a great story; really worth a read. & The oneshot it spun off from is insanely different (just to warn if you read that first.)

「青の祓魔師」
Ao no Exorcist

Mangaka: 加藤 和恵 (Katou Kazue)
Genre: Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Shounen, Supernatural
Summary: "This world consists of two dimensions joined as one, like a mirror. The first is the world in which the humans live, Assiah. The other is the world of demons, Gehenna. Ordinarily, travel between the two, and indeed any kind of contact between the two, is impossible.
However the demons can pass over into this world by possessing anything that exist within it.
Satan is the god of demons; but there's one thing that he doesn't have, and that's a substance in the human world that is powerful enough to contain him!!
For that purpose he created Rin, his son from a human woman, but will his son agree to his plans? Or will he become something else...? An exorcist?" - Baka-Updates

Daily BL

Today's BL is another by The Moon In a Box. It's not yet completed and this is the only scanned work I've been able to find by this mangaka but I'm already a fan. The art is really amazing and very unique plus the story is pretty interesting. It may be a bit confusing but it's really good. Hope you like it. (Though it is only shounen-ai.)

「イケメン君とさえない君」
Ikemen-kun to Saenai-kun

Mangaka: 秀良子 (Hide Yoshiko)
Genre: Shounen Ai, Slice of Life, Supernatural

Daily Manga

Well I'm still in the mood for horror. Somehow I can't get out of it, lol. But this is a good one! Horror or not it is really worth a read. I'd read a few chapters when it came out but got distracted for sometime and only really got back into it the other day. I also noticed that it recently got an anime but I probably wont watch it, lol. Anyways. Hope you like it.

Following these puzzling deaths, a family of beautiful and elegant individuals moves into the abandoned 'Kanemasa' mansion on the hill-side over-looking Sotoba..." - Baka-Updates

Daily BL

Today's BL is a wonderfully supernatural shounen ai called "The Mysterious Stories of Ghost Moon Tower"! It's by the great Ima Ichiko-sensei so the art and story are both great. I really love her youkai/mystery stories. They are the type that if you enjoy the supernatural of Japan you will not soon be forgetting her stories. Well. I hope you enjoy this one.

「幻月楼奇譚」
Gengetsurou Kitan

Mangaka: 今市子 (Ima Ichiko)
Genre: Comedy, Drama, Historical, Mystery, Shounen Ai, Supernatural

He's also the patron of a suspicious male geisha, Yosaburou, who will do anything for money and has no talent, except for telling ghost stories. It may or may not be true that the young master is making amorous advances toward Yosaburou! Every night, the parlor of a restaurant in the red light district called Ghost Moon Tower showcases mysterious tales that interweave "strange things" and people's other desires." - Baka-Updates

Daily Manga

Today's manga is a oneshot. A really great one. Besides having awesome art it also has an amazingly interesting & (for some) eye opening plot that is pretty much unforgettable. It is definitely worth a read. Hope you like it! (& sorry for the late post. I was trying to post it last night but in the middle of it my laptop decided to slow to a snails pace & anger me into exhaustion. But at least I'm able to post it first thing this morning. Enjoy!)

「アップル」
Apple

Mangaka: 古味直志 (Komi Naoshi)
Genre: Comedy, Sci-fi, Shounen, Supernatural
Summary: "The main character (the blond ponytailed guy - yeah, guy) is Aramiya Satoshi, who main ability is shapeshifting into any animal... though at a few points he has plants growing out of him, so my guess is he can shapeshift into any living thing (including an elephant and a lion) I'm not sure if he was naturally born that way or if he was a biological experiment. Anyway, he's a pretty easygoing guy who just wants to be left alone to enjoy his solitary life in the middle of a junkyard, but apparently some army or another is always after him because of his ability, though he is able to fight off entire tank battalions before breakfast." - Baka-Updates

Daily Manga

Today's manga is a great one. It's a "new" series by the great Takayama Shinobu, the mangaka of Amatsuki. This, as that, deals with yokai (in a somewhat different manner). The art is amazing and the main character entertaining. Hope you like it.

「ハイガクラ」
Haigakura

Mangaka: 高山 しのぶ (Takayama Shinobu)
Genre: Adventure, Fantasy, Josei, Supernatural

Daily Manga

Today's manga is one you most likely already know. I'd not be surprised if you've all read or watched it already. So what is it? It is the amazing, award winning hit manga "Mushishi". Full of amazing art, incredible style, fun and fascinating adventures, one of the most interesting plots out there, and a main character that you can't help but love, this manga has even been turned into a great live action movie. Hope you enjoy.

「虫师」
Mushishi

Mangaka: 漆原 友紀 (Urushibara Yuki)
Genre: Adventure, Drama, Fantasy, Historical, Mystery, Psychological, Seinen, Supernatural, Tragedy
Summary: "They exist in the most unexpected places -- be it within your eyes and ears, under the floor and roof of your house, or the trees and flowers in your garden. They are everywhere and yet nowhere at the same time. Are they alive or not? Perhaps it is more apt to say they are beings who transcend the concept of life and death itself...Or could it be that they are what scientists today describe as the 'primordial ooze' - the origins wherein all life arose billions of years ago?
They are mushi.
Some wreak havoc in the lives of humans; while others bring them deliverance from suffering. Mushi are neither good, nor evil; for just like any other creature, they are merely striving to survive in this harsh, competitive world.

Ginko - a lone wanderer with an intriguingly reclusive personality, offers help and guidance to those plagued by mushi. This is the tale of his travels and exploits in a wondrous world populated by these mysterious entities.

Mushishi won an Excellence Prize at the 2003 Japan Media Arts Festival and the 2006 Kodansha Manga Award." - Baka-Updates

A nice, fun, full color oneshot by CLAMP. Full of stars and "pancakes". (I remembered this while eating some this morning.). The art is a bit different from their usual (guess one of the lesser used artists of the group took center stage here). The colors are amazing and the story is refreshing. Enjoy.


「オキモノ キモノ」
Okimono Kimono

Mangaka: CLAMP

Summary: "A magical cooking lesson about making horan (soft-like pancake made without baking)." - Baka-Updates

Daily Manga

I really love those long, epic mangas so today I shall be posting yet another. Today's is actually based on one of the most famous books in the (western) world; Dante's Divine Comedy. It's more like an adaptation than anything. The art is fitting and the mangaka just so happens to be the ever famous Nagai Go. Enjoy.

Dante's Divine Comedy

Mangaka: 永井豪 (Nagai Go)
Genre: Drama, Fantasy, Mature, Seinen, Supernatural

Sorry for not posting these past few days. You all know I'm a lazy ass though. But I have been following the dispute between China and Japan for the Senkaku Islands (although we all know it is legally Japan's and China is just being an ass). The rumors of what actually happened in the islands between the two countries is quite stirring. I'm actually excited for something to happen, lol. At any rate! today's manga is, yet again, a recent release. It's one I'm very attracted to though. The art is good but the genre is my favorite; Heian Japan! A sexy, "crazy" ex-prince, and a crazy good, slightly traumatized onmyouji who lost all his powers. Have fun with it!

「暁の闇」
Akatoki no Yami

Mangaka: かわい有美子 (Kawai Yumiko)
Genre: Fantasy, Historical, Shoujo, Supernatural
Summary: "It is the Heian era (794-1185); Kamo Yorimichi is a young onmyouji, the son of a famous onmyouji leader of the imperial court. As a boy, he had been hailed for his incredible talent - but a certain incident during childhood stripped him of all his memories and the ability to 'see'.
Koretaka Shinnou, once the crown prince renowned for his brilliant mind and steadfast personality, is now in exile - supposedly as punishment for murder. Upon their first meeting, Yorimichi's powers are instantly re-awakened. Intrigued by what he believes to be Koretaka's amazing abilities, Yorimichi decides to swear allegiance to the prince." - Baka-Updates

Holy hell, my internet is working properly again! (sobs of joy). Anyways~ Today's manga is another shoujo (I'm running out of good stuff it seems). I liked the first story in the volume but~ The others weren't as good in my opinion. The first story is set in the Taisho era w/ a rich & rather miserable Oujo-sama who lost her parents and is being forced to marry some jerk that she hates. There's also a vampire. =B & a rather sad/disappointing ending. xD; The stories following are about ghosts. Great art & rather amusing oneshots. Enjoy.


「SxM」

Mangaka: 高宮 智 (Takamiya Satoru)
Genre: Drama, Romance, Shoujo, Supernatural
Summary: "One day, Kirie, the daughter of a count's family, found a beautiful, blue-eyed man collapsed in the street. What's more, when he woke up, he seemed to have lost his memory. But, with his blue eyes and pale skin, could he be the rumored "blood-sucking demon"?

Also in the volume is story called Haraimasu kedo Nani ka?."-Baka-Updates
