Magnolia (Sumiyoshi Ryo)

Complete | Sumiyoshi Ryo | 2000 released

So sad! D: Very beautiful, though. This artist is great at that. I cried, just from these few short pages. She draws crying boys so well. I'm getting a weird, crying boy fetish here. Anyway, if it had been a bit longer, it would have been even more painful, so I guess I'm glad it was brief.

Zon BL

Ongoing | kabashima rirako; koinu hayate; natsume kumo; nitako; hagi; yatsume seiji | 2000 released

I knew what to expect, and I read it anyway. Now I'm ugly crying and trying not to sob. This is such a beautiful, tragic story. They just loved each other so much. The back and forth from when their lives were happy and their futures were ahead of them just made it all that much more painful. I just hope there's a heaven for things like this. In a fictional world, we can decide for ourselves that they're together again in death.

My Forgetful Wife

Complete | Pageratta | 2000 released

Nothing really happens here. It's just super sad. The idea of slowly losing someone that way, to the point of them not even knowing who you are, is pretty heartbreaking.

Azure and Claude

Ongoing | Miaki Sugaru,Loundraw | 2000 released

I don't typically enjoy het romance, and I'm usually not up for pointless misery on top of it, so I almost didn't read this. I'm really glad I did, though! I'm curious to see how it ends. Either way, I found the way it unfolded thus far to be intriguing. The first sixteen chapters are interesting, for sure. I wasn't fond of the main guy for most of the story, and while I knew he'd eventually fall for the chick, I was annoyed by the thought of it. They changed my mind, though. I'm not sure what sort of conclusion I'm rooting for now. It seems pointless if they live, but cruel if they die. Either way, I look forward to updates.

Triangle (FUUKI Mame)

Complete | FUUKI Mame | 2017 released

Ugh, I'm still crying. Why is it that every time I find a new mangaka lately, there's hardly anything out. I love her art and the warmth of her storytelling, and I want more. Mooooore. D: Rio doesn't deserve hate at all for everything. She wasn't certain in high school, just had a hunch. It isn't like he told her he loved him and she ran off and took him for herself. She realized later that they both liked one another, which is why she broke up with Gaku. Obviously she loved both of them very much. If she hadn't died, they would all be together and happy. It's not like she would have tried to ruin things. Anyway, such a sweet and sad story. Poor Rio. But I liked it a lot, and I really want more from this artist.

Renzoku Ambivalenz

Ongoing | Yoshida kansuke | 2000 released

What the... Okay, I know I've read the first story elsewhere, but I don't remember it having that ending. I also don't entirely get what it was talking about. Is the other guy a doppelganger? Is he a triplet? Is he a manifestation of the other half of one of the brothers? Either way, so weird and random. It had potential, but it was just too brief and all over the place. I have no problem with dark, gory, or disturbing, but that was just weird. The second story was weird and kind of gross. There was some serious dissonance between the two, like they weren't done by the same person. Is that the case? I need to look. Anyway, this is a fucked up collection, and I'm afraid of what to expect if more stories beyond the two get uploaded. What even...

Kyonshii Keikaku

Complete | Flalala | 2000 released

I'm not big on incest, but this was an interesting story. A little rushed, but I liked the way it came together at the end. It reminds me a little of Dogville, which is weird because I got that sense even before the twist. At any rate, that's what they get.

Rabbit's Foot

Ongoing | Pyo Ryu | 2000 released

Damn it. I didn't check to see when it was last updated, and now I have to just sit and wait for updates that may never come. What's worse, it appears the story has a tragic ending. This is all bad news for me. x_x I was really interested in this, but I knew it would be fucked up. I guess I was just hoping that there'd be something worthwhile at the end. Oh well. I guess it doesn't matter anyway, since this may never actually be updated. I looked at the raws and tried to fill in my own blanks, but it's not the same.

Happily Ever After

Ongoing | pizza saver | 2019 released

I dunno, I like the art, but I shouldn't read this. Only the zero chapter and the first chapter are out right now, but it seems to me that this story is about them falling in love, then one of them dying of an illness. "Making the most of the time we have left" stories crush my soul. Everything they do is tainted by knowing they don't have much longer. Blah. I'm still here, though, so what does that say about me?

Ai no donā

Complete | Avogado6 | 2019 released

Very short, but it definitely hurts for a moment. The feeling of losing happiness is so awful. Ignorance would be so much better. You long for these good feelings, but everything ends.
