U(kyou Machiko)

Ongoing | kyou machiko | 2000 released

Everybody in this story is an asshole. Kind of weird and confusing, not a lot of detail in the art, but I'm intrigued. I'm hoping some people get punched in the face for treating the main girl like crap.

Ikujinashi No Spectator

Complete | yamamoto ataru | 2015 released

That was... a very odd story. Kind of cute, but definitely weird. I liked the second one more because there was no rape in it. I like elements of the first one, but nonconsent isn't erased by future consent, and it bugs me. But whatever, the author clearly has a thing for very odd love triangles. The manga treats some stuff too lightly, but what else is new when it comes to BL? It doesn't surprise me, but I still don't like it. Anyway, it was entertaining, and I did like some of the cute twists on certain tropes. Everyone was an asshole in the first story, so at least they were more likable in the second.

Redemption Camp

Ongoing | ramjak | 2016 released

Why the fuck did I read this piece of shit? I mean, I hated it before I even started it, and yet I just. couldn't. stop. Dear lord, though, those gravity-defying breasts. Girl, you could have easily knocked all those dudes out with those things.

Nega

Complete | harada | 2000 released

I wonder why the follow up with that sad love triangle isn't on here. It's translated. I haven't seen it on the site in general, which is weird. Anyway, read most of these separately, but a few were new to me. I fucking love Harada, ugh. Honestly, in the grand scheme of things, these weren't as bad as they could have been as far as soul crushing. Sad, still, especially the first one. No one wins, and it sucks. I wish she'd continue it beyond the second part. Why can't they share, damn it? More love triangles need to end like that.

Shinju Bl

This is... really weird. I cry very easily, and I figured I was taking a risk here, but the stories are so quick and shallow that it doesn't have much of an impact. I gave it three stars so far, instead of two, just because the third story was actually kind of intriguing despite its silly premise. The first one's ending made me laugh out loud because it was so abrupt. They had an opportunity to make these stories powerful, but they really missed their mark. If Harada has a piece in here, it'll no doubt be awesome, but I don't know what to expect from here on out.

Yoro to Asa no Uta dj - Aru Otoko No Higeki

Complete | Harada | 2000 released

Graphic extension of the very brutal rape scene in the main story. Hard to look at. Even though that character is a giant asshole for most of the manga, it's still heartbreaking. Definitely not for the faint of heart.

Escape (kyuugou)

Complete | Kyuugou | 2007 released

Read this again to be sure of how it all went, but yeah, pretty much as I remembered. This is a sad one. At least it doesn't go on long enough for them to live happily ever after, which I hope is not the natural conclusion to such a violent rape. But we all know how yaoiland works. For what was here, though, it's a sad, interesting story about obsession, denial, and unrequited love.

Host is down

Complete | nishin masumi | 2016 released

Haha, I like those weird, dark turns. Definitely a strange oneshot, think it could have benefited from being longer, had some clarity issues here and there, but it wasn't hard to understand. I appreciate that it wasn't a typical story.

Koko Wa Yasashii Niwa

Complete | enzou | 2016 released

Aww, this is really sad so far! I want them to help heal one another, damn it! But I'm glad it didn't just happen immediately. I hope it continues to unfold nicely and doesn't become rushed and shallow.

Kiwa (Kaori Monchi)

Complete | Kaori Monchi | 2000 released

I really liked this. I'm glad that the father never fully stooped to his unhealthy desires, even though he did feel his kid up a little, which is... not great. But these things usually go much farther in Yaoiland. I like that this is pretty clearly meant to be screwed up, right up to the pondering at the end. It isn't passed off as cute or fluffy. I wish I could read more about that character, especially if he started dealing with his issues, rather than the story turning into full on incest. But this was a good oneshot.
