I'm kinda torn because I didn't like some of the stories as much as I did 変愛, but this collection has the 変愛 couple in it too and for them I give this one more star.

This is another one-shot collection, some of which are connected to the stories in the first one. As I mentioned, the roleplaying couple make another appearance here, as well as the SM teacher/student. Harada's really good at writing scary obsessive guys.

Yajirushi means arrow, but also romantic interest towards a person. The title story is a really interesting depiction of this: a guy who falls in love with a manipulative asshole who uses him for money and sex. But underneath the asshole's contempt for his little gofer is the need to possess.

I was kinda thinking I'd never be able to read this because the book's not in amazon, but I found it at a bookstore, isn't that amazing? I miss going to bookstores. Anyway, I'm glad I was able to read Yajirushi.

Some of the other stories weren't 100% my cup of tea, although the premises are really interesting. Sex scenes were done well as usual, but the censorship though... why was the censorship in Hen-ai better when it's the same publishing house? The glow sticks method is defo not my fave when it comes to censorship.

Yajirushi is a volume with six different stories, all of them involving sexual and emotional abuse. Even if they are kind of extreme, every story is nicely depicted, the author achieved very nice expressions.

Harada’s works will always be my guilty pleasure. The dark themes are perfectly depicted that makes you wonder if you're actually fucked up as a person for liking such.

Don't read this by the way.

Sabía dónde me metía tratándose de Harada pero sinceramente me ha dejado con el culo torcidisimo. Ha sido una lectura bastante incómoda pero interesante

Honestly the story with the role-players was enough to make this for me. Oh my GOD. That was fucking great. Woof. I'm glad we got to see them again cause they were fun.

Um, anyway. These stories all follow very toxic fucked up relationships and it's pretty great. Like you're not meant to root for any of these couples and they get pretty graphic. Like triggers for sexual assault and pedophilia for sure, mental abuse too. They're super interesting reads. I think my favorite out of the toxic relationships was the one about the boy who felt extremely guilty and the boy that continued to feed the guilt so he could keep him by his side forever. It gave me similar vibes to Color Recipe. And oh my god the train one?? Fucked up.

Really didn't care about the prequel to the student/teacher story from henai. And the first story with the jerk and the errand boy was meh. I think it would've been interesting if it had just a bit more of something. And the office ghost one seemed kind of random in this anthology. I guess it was just a bit of a comedic break.

The last story which is a sequel to Hen ai is great and worth the entire anthology. Very spicy and also a very healthy relationship compared to the others. Honestly liked this a lot. Ending it with that one was a great choice.

(b)Yajirushi(/b) ⏩ me encantan los que se hacen los chulos hasta que pierden a la otra persona y se dan cuenta de que sí les importaba muajjaajajj

(b)El sonido al arrastrarse (/b) ⏩ está me ha gustado un montón! Fingir que no se le ha curado la pierna para que el otro esté siempre pendiente... Retorcido pero oye, los dos parecen felices. Aunque creo que si le dijera que no fue culpa suya se quedaría con él igual, pero supongo que no quiere arriesgarse. Aprovecharse del sentimiento de culpa es malvado eh.

(b) El inicio de la perversión (/b) ⏩ profe/alumno. Nada más que añadir, su señoría.

(b) Pille a un pervertido... (/b)⏩ no tengo excusa para haberlo disfrutado sorry. Pensaba que lo de aprovecharse de la situación era participar pero que él pague a los violadores, wow.

(b) Ese hombre (/b) ⏩ meh, está ha sido la más normal pero tiene momentos graciosos.

(b) Amor extraño (/b) ⏩ amo que le siga el juego en todo lo que pide jejej eso es un buen novio

Han sido todas muy entretenidas! Algunas asquerosas y otras más graciosas. Harada mezcla ambas muy bien y siempre me hace sentir muchas cosas porque no sé si me gustan o no sus personajes. Es muy interesante de leer también, nunca sabes qué te vas a encontrar.

[Raxia L. Lavoisier]

Harada regresa con un tomo único que, como era de esperar, no deja indiferente. Una recopilación de historias oscuras, independientes entre sí, que profundizan en la psique de personajes atormentados, complejos y moralmente cuestionables.

Este volumen no es para todos: es incómodo, tenso, incluso espeluznante en ciertos momentos. Pero si ya conoces a Harada y disfrutas de su estilo crudo, retorcido y sin filtros, aquí te vas a sentir como en casa. Una lectura que remueve, que incomoda a veces, pero que destaca por su intensidad emocional y su capacidad de dejarte pensando.

No apto para quienes busquen romanticismo amable o tramas convencionales. Pero si te va lo denso, lo retorcido y lo impredecible, este tomo es un imprescindible. Harada, en su estado más puro.

Mi favorita fue Hikizuru Oto (The Dragging Sound). Me gusta leer cuando exploran los sentimientos de culpabilidad, manipulación y dependencia en una relación toda retorcida.


• Yajirushi (Arrow)
A student who's had it super easy his whole life and an errand boy with communication difficulties.

• Hikizuru Oto (The Dragging Sound)
Twisted codependency of a boy who can't let go of his childhood friend due to an accident.

• Yugami Hajime (Twisted Beginnings)
The prequel to Kyoushitsu no Yugami from Henai which describes the beginning of the characters' twisted teacher-student relationship.

• Chikan sareteru Kare wo Guuzen wo Hakken shite, teki na Tenkai de (Molested by Chance in a Typical Setting)
A student is molested on the train and realises that it was seen by a classmate. Said classmate is worried about it and offers for the student to ride the train together to hopefully deter the molester, yet it only gets worse...

• Rei no Otoko (The Male Ghost)

4'75 ⭐
Este manga se compone por 6 mini historias, algunas más turbias que otras pero todas con un estilo inigualable como es el de Harada.
La 6 ha sido mi favorita, seguida por la 5,2,1. La tercera no me ha gustado nada, diría que no le podría poner 5 estrellas por esa historia. Es profesor x alumno, y realmente no se muestra como algo malo cuando el alumno incluso tiene apariencia de menor! La cuarta tampoco me ha gustado demasiado, aunque lo que se revela al final ha sido inesperado para mí.
Resumidamente, no me arrepiento de haberme comprado y leído esta joya de Harada(¡Me atrevería a decir que actualmente es de mis favoritos de Harada!), quitando esos detalles negativos, me ha encantado.

i read it a few years ago, and again recently. Yajirushi is basically a collection of stories that depict severe abuse (both emotional and sexual). a lot of Harada’s works have similar characters — the shy boy, the yandere, the older dude who manipulates — and this collection is no exception. they’re a good read if you want to read something disturbing, but i wouldn’t go as far as calling it psychological. just messed up, which is typical Harada, i’d say.

[Taia Megrelishvili · Rating 3 out of 5]

i come back to haradas work from time to time and man it never fails to fuck me up in ways that are unimaginable to me. i didnt like some stories but the guy with the broken leg stood out to me the most. it was the most well written. this is definitely not meny peoples cup of tea but youll like it if you enjoy haradas other works such as color recipe and nii chan.

I LOVE YOU HARADA

[Hailey]

Hikizuru Oto (The Dragging Sound) was the standout hit. The others are okay— standard for one-shots, I suppose.

[Helén · Rating 2 out of 5]

This author really likes her dark themes.
Being short stories most of them end where you would have expected the twist of the story to be meaning, in this case, that most of the stories leave you with a bad vibe (since none of the relationships portrayed are healthy (except for one)).

[HoodJoshi666 · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very sexy, weird, intense, interesting, entertaining and kinky set of BL stories. Harada sensei is such a masterful storyteller. I loved the first story with the hole in the wall and the train story. I can't wait to reread this!

Reviewed under Henai with the entire series (as of yet)
