Hunks Workshop

Not that I'm really interested, since the last time I played online was with a bidimensional version of Sin City, but today I stumbled across this video game, Hunks Workshop, by FutureGames.

Hunks Workshop is a yaoi video game but it's not a "BL" one. This game is geared more towards gay men and features muscular guys. This type of artwork is often called by the name "bara" (Yaoi targeted at gay men) among anime fans (but not necessarily in Japan).

The artwork from this game is by a great artist by the name of Masanori. 

I only found the company website in Japanese, so I didn't understand what is the scope of the game... but from the images below, I think one of the target is to "introduce" the characters!

Well, I find more interesting the pics than the game... above all since I'm not used to japanese art with muscular guys...

But if it's in Japanese, how can you understand something? Anyway thanks for the link! Elisa

Yeah, you're right! I just installed the demo and I don't understand a word. But it's managable somehow. If in doubt just click on anything that is clickable. ;-)

And the drawings are great. Even though I haven't found a sex scene yet. :o)

But I guess I won't buy it. It sucks that it is only in Japanese.
