 | Yokai's Hunger by Naono Bohra
Buy new: $9.59 / Used from: $5.01 I'm a big fan of Naono, so I am glad one of her titles is finally being released. That being said, this is a great tale of love throughout time between a super natural being and a human. Throw in a some troublesome siblings all living in a super tiny apartment and evil forces lurking about and you get an awesome romantic comedy. A+++

 | A Foreign Love Affair (Yaoi) by Ayano Yamane
Buy used from: $45.00 This is a super sexy story, and an Ayano Yamane-sensei story on top of that! This should be on the bookshelves of any BL fan, the art is gorgeous, the smex is hot, and the story sugary sweet. To make things better, the 801-media's printing and binding quality is at its best in this issue; so this is a sound investment.

 | The President's Time (Yaoi) by Tamaki Kirishima
Buy new: $10.85 / Used from: $6.99 This is just a sweet and funny story. The President's attempts at committing evil deeds are just plain hilarious, and the seme's "attack" to stop him from breaking the law is just super sweet. Good art, hot (uncensored) smex, and plenty of laughs to go around.

 | Ruff Love (Yaoi) (Deux) by Tamaki Kirishima
Buy new: $10.36 / Used from: $7.73 Ever read "Man's Best Friend" from Takashima? Did you like it? Then you will enjoy this as well. With a stoic, sensitive seme,a a playful, klumsy uke, add a horny stray dog to the triangle and you get nothing buy comedy,. Art and story are both good, but it is a bit short. Warning: uke looks like a thirteen year old (but is actally older in dog years).

 | Wild Rock (v. 1) by Kazusa Takashima
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $4.28 Hot men prancing around in a loin cloth, need I say more? Maybe not, but I will. The art and story for this is just beautiful (look at the cover!! the seme oozes testosterone). There is also a side story about the main couple's fathers boyhood (doomed) romance.

 | Man's Best Friend: Inu Mo Aruke Ba Fall in Love (Yaoi) (v. 1) by Kazusa Takashima
Buy used from: $19.50 A compilation of sweet, sexy stories. Did you like Wild Rock? Then love this one too!!
Pssst: It has an interview between the main characters of "Wild Rock" that is super Kawai!! If you are a fan of WR, then pick this "puppy" up ;)

 | Pet on Duty
Buy used from: $5.32 This is a cute story by Nase Yamato about opposites attracting and the hurdles that they have to overcome in order to get together. Typical yaoi plot, but still enjoyable and funny; a great read! The extra chapter about Mi-kun's b-day is super cute !!
|
 | Ellie Mamahara: Alley of First Love by Mamahara Ellie
Buy new: $12.34 / Used from: $4.22 This story is just sweet. It's about childhood friends coping with the romantic feelings they have for each other and their own insecurities. You should get this one for the story alone (and you should, because there is really no smex here), which is nice and satisfying.
|
 | Lies & Kisses by Masara Minase
Buy used from: $19.00 Masara MInase does not have many titles in the American market, so this is a rare treat. Though it does have its comedic moments, this is a darker work that deals with two half brothers falling for each other. It raises several moral dilemmas and does not justify itself. The story telling is superb and the characters are well developed.
|
 | Brother by Yuzuha Ougi
Buy used from: $19.70 Well, this is not really a one-shot deal, since it does have a second volume in its native Japan, BUT there is only one available in the US (so there, I'm cheating!). This one is just plain fun and sexy, and though a second volume is available this is great by itself. Now on its second printing and available at the online DQ store (grab it while they last!!).
|
 | Hybrid Child (Yaoi) by Shungiki Nakamura
Buy new: $10.36 / Used from: $1.86 From the tons of titles available from June, this one stands out. The stories are humorous and meaningful at the same time. A hybrid child is an allegory. The author explores the power of love, exposing its fragility without calling it weak. A beautiful and sentimental look at that feeling we call love...
|
 | The Devil's Secret (Yaoi) by Hinako Takanaga
Buy used from: $24.99 Don't miss this one! The main couple, a priest and an incubus demon, offer sexiness and humor to the reader. Baldur's story is just hilarious."Wait until winter comes" warms your heart. And "Let's Do Something Useless" brings out a smile out of you. An overall great volume from one of my favs: HInako Takanaga.
|
 | A Capable Man by Hinako Takanaga
Buy new: $11.10 / Used from: $6.93 This story deals with two childhood friends: Kouji and Shingo. Kouji likes Shingo, but he is oblivious to the fact that his best friend likes him. Shingo likes successful men, and there is no one more successful in his eyes than his cousin, but he is going to get married. This leads to Kouji to act out his feelings for Shingo and romance follows... cute/sexy!

 | You Will Fall in Love by Hinako Takanaga
Buy new: $11.04 / Used from: $15.33 This of one is actually a prequel for one of my fav's, but it is still good in its own. It deals with a younger boy who falls in love with his older brother's best friend who is at the same time in love with his best friend (who is pretty much clueless). What do they all have in common: their love for archery! Jealousy=Great Smex!! Tee Hee >.<
|
 | You Will Drown in Love by Hinako Takanaga
Buy new: $10.39 / Used from: $5.95 A follow up volume to "You Will Fall in Love", but a stand alone in its own right. I have to say that this title is better than its predecessor. The pairing (the clueless brother from the first story and his new co-worker) in this one deals with the "opposites attract" theme and it works. Just lovely....
|
 | Just Around The Corner (Yaoi) by Toko Kawai
Buy new: $11.96 / Used from: $15.11 This is one of my favorites from Kawai. The relationship between the two main characters is engaging and sweet. It has enough smex to keep you satisfied, but at the same time the story develops in such a way that keeps you wondering just what will happen next. Give it a try, the only thing to regret is that there isn't more of it...
