It’s a brand new year, and what better way to kick off 2021 then with reviewing some boys love manga! Hagi isn’t a mangaka who’s work I’m very familiar with but, after reading The God & the Flightless Messenger, I hope that we’ll be seeing more of their work published in English, as this manga...

Manly Appetites: Minegishi Loves Otsu Vol 1 Review
Well, this is something different! It’s not everyday that you see a manga staring a protagonist who’s on the pudgy side. Since I’m not exactly slender myself, I was excited to see some representation of different body types in a romance story. Way to go, Mito! Synopsis: Otsu can’t help but be a little suspicious...

Birds of Shangri-La Vol 1 Review
Looks like Christmas has come early for me this year because we have the debut of a sexy, new Boys Love manga series by Ranmaru Zariya, the creator of Coyote and Liquor & Cigarettes! Synopsis: Apollo’s life has recently fallen apart and he might need to raise some major cash quickly. That’s why he takes... Continue Reading →
Canis: Dear Mr. Rain Review
Canis: Dear Mr. Rain, by Zakk, is the second title to be released under Fakku’s new BL manga line, Kuma, and I’m delighted to report that this one is a winner! Synopsis: Satoru has gotten himself into a bit of a pickle. He’s a successful hatter and has planned a big event for his store’s... Continue Reading →
There are Things I Can’t Tell You Review
It took me a while to track down a copy of Edako Mofumofu’s Boys Love manga, There Are Things I Can’t Tell You, and, during that time, I saw a lot of posts on my social media about how sad this book was or how much it made people cry. I was starting to get... Continue Reading →
Toritan: Birds of a Feather Vol 1 Review
I think this manga might be taking the term "bird-lover" a little too literally! By Kotetsuko Yamamoto, Toritan: Birds of a Feather is a boys love manga with a supernatural twist and a rather unique love triangle. Synopsis: Inusaki is a detective who mostly winds up doing odd jobs around his sleepy neighbourhood, like: walking... Continue Reading →
Nameless Asterism Series Review
Despite centering on a love-triangle between three girls, I don’t think I’d classify Kina Kobayashi’s manga, Nameless Asterism, as a yuri series. While unrequited love and emotional angst are the driving forces behind much of the plot, the type of relationship being celebrated by this manga isn’t romantic love, it’s friendship. Synopsis: Shiratori, Washio and... Continue Reading →
Koimonogatari: Love Stories Vol 1 Review
Tohru Tagura’s Koimonogatari: Love Stories is a boys love manga that takes a more true-to-life approach to its characters and storyline then the average title in this genre, something that I’m glad to see attempted… even though I have mixed feelings about the result. Synopsis: When Yuiji accidently overhears a conversation that reveals that his... Continue Reading →
Don’t Call Me Daddy Review
Much like the manga that this is spun off from, Don’t Call Me Daddy has a title that I think will give people the impression that it’s quite a bit raunchier than it actually is. A sequel, of sorts, to Don’t Call Me Dirty, Don’t Call Me Daddy is a touching BL romance by Gorou... Continue Reading →
Therapy Game Vol 1 Review
In my review of Secret xxx, I mentioned that I was excited at the prospect of reading the spin-off series focused on the relationship between the main characters' brothers and, now that I have, I'm thrilled to report that it more then lived up to my expectations! Therapy Game is Meguru Hinohara’s second Boy's Love... Continue Reading →
