Good evening!

Today I bring another manga review. Cool/Uncool, also known as Kakko Warukute Kakkoii Kimi (The Uncool and Cool You), written and illustrated by Asou Kai who is one of my favorite manga-ka (the original story was done by Arika Kuga, so I can only assume it was in a novelish format and Asou Kai rewrote it into manga format?). I do love her artwork. It's always so lovely.

Once again, I bring you another manga review by one of my favorite manga writers: Yaya Sakuragi. I keep treating myself, every paycheck week, to buying one or two manga off of Amazon, so expect more reviews to come! Today I bring you "Stay Close To Me," a very cute, romantic manga that's a one volume work.

... also known as "Doushitemo Furetakanai" or alternately translated as "I Won't Touch You Anyway". This manga is one of those that I first read scanlated by Dangerous Pleasure and I immediately fell in love with, including the special doujinshi extras featuring one of the side characters. The moment I saw it was available for purchase through Amazon, I treated myself to a copy. And I'm not disappointed.

This manga was sitting in my Amazon shopping cart for quite some time, because I couldn't quite afford to buy it, even if there was only two volumes. And then, the very lovely [livejournal.com profile] azardarkstar bought them for me for Xmas. I heart her!!

So now I finally have an actual, physical copy in my hands and I'm so happy. I have a scanlation, but I prefer to have the actual manga. That way I don't have to zoom in to read the words. *laughs* 

Ahem. On to the review.

If there was ever a manga that I can't wait to be published in the US, it's Man of Tango by Tetuzoh Okadaya. I was first introduced to this beautiful manga by the scanlation group Nakama. And I fell in love at first sight. After they released it, Nakama has since removed the links to the site because it's been licensed, and they won't scanlate any more of the manga-ka's work because she requested it. So I hope, hope, HOPE that the US licensing agency get off their asses and start releasing the manga-ka's work over here because it's lovely.

I come to you today with another manga review and plenty more to come as I relive my days of scouring the internet for any and all shounen-ai or yaoi manga to tickle my taste buds. I'm quite picky when it comes to what I'll read, especially since a majority of what can be found falls into several categories that don't interest me. They lack substance, are nothing more than smut fests that don't even look good, or consist of slash where the "uke" character looks more like a girl than most girls in the manga itself. *laughs* A problem that is exacerbated by the fact some manga-ka don't even draw the penises on their ukes as if to further support the illusion that they are in fact women in disguise.

Which is fine. That's not my taste, but it's the taste of plenty of other people and I'm glad they enjoy it. I just don't happen to enjoy them myself. I do have several favorite manga-ka, and several favorite manga. I figure, one by one, I'll review them as my reccs in hopes of getting other people to enjoy them like I have.

So I thought I'd give this a try. I've fallen in love with Japanese yaoi manga so I thought I'd share that enjoyment by highlighting a lot of my favorites on here, along with fic reviews and all that.
