Some thoughts:

The manga boys love is so endlessly tragic. I had forgotten that when I read it and unlike the tragedy in kano miyamoto's series the tragedy in boys love lacked that catharsis or cleansing of emotion that i think good angst has. Its still a great example of a lot of yaoi cliches.

Net comics was my favorite publisher last month. Not only did they have a good showing at yaoi con but I enjoyed ever manga they brought with them including some of the comedies they are releasing this month. I highly recommend getting  Love Full of Scars it was hilarious. But any of the releases they had this month aren't the traditional pretty boy art styles. But if you want a taste of something different you really have to try it!

Yaoicon, there was only 1 actual dealer panel and it was DMPs. It was short but informative. There are picking up kizuna along with the tyrant series. So is this official proof drama queen is dead if they have lost their licensing? And they are really pushing their emanga service that allows you to rent/purchase manga on your computer that can only be viewed through their program. They licensed a bunch of harlequin manga for it and said some of the less popular/ experimental yaoi authors may go straight to emanga and only get a print version releases if enough emanga versions are sold to show interest. It was also said the reason close the last door 2 was pushed back in the release schedual is 1 just didn't sell well enough. Yugi yamada doesn't have the star power in America i guess. I think over all i was disappointed by that but i understand the business sense.

I met yayoi neko at con who is one of the few american yaoi bara artists I can think of. She is doing a simply amazing doujinshi based on sherlock holmes so if you like bara try to track her down.

S volume 4 is available for a premium price at akadot retail. So go now if you want to grab one of the few copies available for this out of print conclusion.

I'm thinking of doing postings of reviews on this months releases throughout the month. Is that something anyone would be interested in?

I'm also looking to hire someone who has at least an hour a month and is into yaoi anime to make a comprehensive list of the yaoi animes that are out in japan and an upcoming list, they would also have to keep a list up of the licensed yaoi animes currently available in English. Sorry but there is no pay involved. Please IM me if your interested and can stick with us for the long haul. Thank you!

The empire strikes back

In recent weeks, we've taken huge steps towards blocking spam accounts on LiveJournal. In fact, we've suspended as many as 30,000 accounts in a single day! We've implemented several pre-emptive measures to prevent the creation of spam accounts, and we've honed our detection of suspicious content. Spam bots are a crafty lot, so we'll continue to refine our tactics and keep up the good fight to keep you safe from spam attacks on LiveJournal.

RSS feeds again

If you're addicted to [info]xkcd_rss, [info]icanhaschzbrgr, or other syndicated feeds, we're pleased to report that we've resolved the update error that was mucking up your RSS feeds. While content was being pulled correctly, it wasn't being posted to the feeds themselves. Late last week, we finally nailed down what we hope was the root problem, so content should post properly. We thank you for your patience.

Kokuyaku Hibi
user posted image

Type: Doujinshi
Pairing: MasamunexYukimura
Pages:16 pages
Mangaka: Shirou Akira
Language: English
Genre: Shonen-ai
Summary: After a discussion Yukimura runs to Sasuke to tell him what happened. Sasuke says he must apologize, and the same idea runs in Masamune's mind. And all over with sweet kisses.

[Attention - The quality of scans wasn't the best as well the doujinshi was out like raw drafts -_- so I hope you can understand the fonts used and so =D]

[Note - for those that didn't watched Sengoku Basara you better watch..LOL but the expressions "Oyakata-sama" mean the honorable lord and this character name is Takeda Shingen and "-degozaru" is a expression Yukimura uses in his speech, like those girls use -desu when finishing a sentence]
