Jackass! by Scarlet Beriko

Practical Keisuke’s incredibly handsome best friend Masayuki has always rubbed him just a little bit the wrong way. Maybe it’s because Masayuki is rich, carefree, and so stunningly handsome that he can, and does, have any girl he wants? But one day, when Keisuke accidentally wears his older sister’s panty hose to gym class, it’s suddenly his hot friend who’s doing the rubbing…on Keisuke’s panty hose-clad legs! Has he unwittingly unleashed a secret fetish that will change their relationship forever?

I really like the mangas of Scarlet Beriko, the graphic is top-notch and the story are original, sexy but not crass. In this case, it's about the fetish of Masayuki, who gets excite by the legs of Keisuke, but only if dressed in panty hose... I know the plot is somewhat stupid, but it's the way the author develops the story that is interesting. For example, Masayuki is aware that his fetish can create issues to Keisuke, and he searches to distance himself, to not being a bother to the other boy. Moreover, Masayuki doesn't mix sex with his fetish, being excited by Keisuke's legs doesn't mean he forces Keisuke, it's actually the opposite, it's Keisuke that wants something more deep with Masayuki. So yes, a little bit of a stupid plot, but a very nice development.

A manhwa from Brothers Without a Tomorrow is sort of an assurance of nice graphic and nice story, but the Tale of the Yellow Dragon has a bittersweet ending that I really didn't want. There were other ways to make the story consinstent; I'm not saying it's a bad ending, it's just thant it's a little sad, nothing tragic indeed, but I cannot avoid to simpatize with Dojin and his yearning for Yellow Dragon. Anyway, if you speak of fantasy, Tale of the Yellow Dragon is a good one, no too much dark, a little bit spicy, and for sure with very nice graphic.

Secret XXX is the prequel of Theraphy Game, and considering that Therapy Game is among my favorite series, Secret XXX was a nice appetizer. I really like the character of Mito, he is so cool and elegant, I can well understand how Shohei  is completely smitten. What I really love of Mito is that he is apparently sweet and calm, but he transfor in a demon in bed, he is assertive and yet at the same time caring of Shohei. Sure, you can see the difference in maturity of the two, and you can understand this will be always a sort of puppy love relationship, but nevertheless, a very nice one.

I'm Yours, Blood and Soul by GyaGa

 

Fellatio in the bathroom and a wild night of sex after clubbing? What more could anyone ask for? Well, a meal for starters. For a vampire like Bokhee, that'd be blood from a living human. Too bad he hooked up with Mariam, an undead demon. So, what do you get when you combine unquenchable thirst and deviant appetites? A sexual fantasy of epic proportions from the creator of "The Baker on the First Floor."

My Rate: 7 (www.lezhinus.com/en/comic/blood_soul_en)

I'm Yours, Blood and Soul was an hit and miss with me; first of all the real graphic is way more raw than what appears in the covers, and the strange thing is that the author used just few colors, making it sort of flat. The story per se is not bad, a vampire who is binded to a demon, but it could have been a little more sexier, and instead, when there were intimate moments, it diverted to almost comic, for then switching to drama when the sex was done.

Love Stage!! by Eiki Eiki and Taishi Zaou

Izumi Sena is an average guy born into a family of famous celebrities. A college student and total otaku, he works hard every day with the goal of someday becoming a manga creator.

His father is a singer and his mother an actress, while older brother Shogo is the lead singer for the popular band “CRUSHERZ.” Though his family is packed with famous celebrities, Izumi Sena is just your average guy. Currently a college student, he is a huge otaku with aspirations of becoming a manga creator. But one day he gets roped into participating in a TV commercial and meets popular young actor Ryoma Ichijo. Could this be the same boy he starred in a commercial with over ten years ago?!

Love Stage!! is probably one of the most adapted manga out there: anime, drama, movie, basically every type of media. Indeed the manga is quite a classic yaoi story, with the seme and uke pair, and with a lot of comedic undertones making it more cute than sexy. I can for sure say that I like the graphic, even more since in the anime version I can see it in full color. And for once the two live action adaptations are not bad either. If I have to be true, my favorite couple is the side one, the brother and the manager, and I'm a little sad that, even if they have their own manga, it was not adapted.
