Also mit Yaoi oder BL hat der Manga wirklich überhaupt gar nix zu tun.
Es sind irgendwelche super edgy Kurzgeschichten über Krieg, Monster, Vampire, die alle super langweilig und sinnlos sind.

Not bad, though the stories are mostly sad and only some have even a hint of a shonen-ai element so it felt a bit mislabeled.

I am a huge fan of Hiroki's dark themes, and this one is one of those mangas that takes these stories to different lines. I like that, somehow, each story has such a unique story-line, like from asian culture, to european WW2 side-stories.
Now that art-style, not your typical shojo, or yaoi bishie kinda thing: now all characters are beautiful, some are monsters, vampires, traitors, teachers and each of these stories have children in it.
I give 4 stars, just because I want to read more of Hiroki's works!

Not really yaoi! This is a volume of mostly paranormal stories with one male-male scene.

This June manga is like a little black rain cloud. Not a lot of feel good moments, hell I dont even think Id consider this volume Yaoi. I only cared for one story and honestly it wasnt amazing.

Es una colección de one-shots, algunos mejores que otros, con un M/M muy suave en general

This was a mildly enjoyable collection of short stories, but it wasn't yaoi. There were some pretty boys in here but none of the tension and sexuality that defines the genre. While the collection is pretty good, it suffers from the failure to meet expectations.
