One chapter in but I love this one already! Lots of humour and snarky comebacks from the MC who knows what he wants when it comes to his personal satisfaction - but doesn't want to admit his weaknesses. As for his seemingly innocent partner - well seems he has enough skills to impress the after hours player, in addition to being suitably endowed for the size queen MC.Definitely happy vibes and low angst.

Great shonen/seinen - especially if you enjoy manga with a supernatural origin. Yes - the art style is not to everyone's taste and is reflective the time the story first debuted in the 1990s, but its a definite recommended read, and worth paying for. The premise for the story is the karasu - or avenging crow/crow tengu from Japanese folklore. The MC is the young priest charged with being the crow tengu (a bit like Batman who I suspect may have influenced the mangaka) who goes out and tracks down evil spirits to banish them from this world. The supporting characters include an old man (similar to Alfred) and a cast of young, buxom shrine maidens who are doing their apprenticeships at the main shrine. If any of that tickles your fancy - definitely buy this one. Can't wait to see if Renta put the other 8 books up for purchase :-PNow to check out the other titles from this seriously underrated mangaka.

Based off the first chapter - I won't be bothering to follow this one up. It plays in to all worst BL tropes and is already feeling like a stockholm syndrome set-up between the MCs. If that piques your interests, suggest renting only.

The title is more salacious than the actual read. This is a shoujo all the way - with two MCs being acting colleagues made to share an apartment to get into their roles for new BL movie they are shooting i.e. they are not shooting a gay porno or anything.Definitely worth the points.

Meh!The title seemed intriguing but the concept fails on delivery - it lacks both plot and any sort of redeeming charm. The "zoo" is basically a euphemism for male brothel with the "animals" being the workers. The MC is the zoo keeper - but non-consenting "fluffer" would be more accurate. Save your money and give this one a miss - but if you really want to check it out, rent it only.

Interesting premise - poor execution. Between the editing, story development and possibly the translation - this one is almost dead on arrival. The main story is about a couple of high schoolers - one who regularly goes for deep tissue massages at a clinic run by the other main character's father. Both MCs fall into some strange sado/maschistic relationship which isn't really one - just some painful massaging. Overall confusing and dull. Story 2 is marginally better - using the older man/teenage boy trope - but equally dull. Recommend rent only.

Nice, simple shoujo manga with a bit of spice and mystery. Basically 3 loosely interlinked stories involving the same MCs, who are all college students. All stories involve a mystery of sorts which is either solved or resolved, with the help of some hanky panky (mostly PG-rated stuff). If you are a fan of vanilla mixed with HEAs, this is definitely worth checking out.

This is a worthwhile shounen - particularly if you like supernatural/horror stories based on Japanese cultural topics. The art style is somewhat old school, with the stories covering curses affecting high school students, businesses and even gravure idols! If this is your cup of tea - then definitely worth purchasing.

Great example of a shoujo manga. Bit of mystery, a bit of angst and a bit of the old forced marriage trope leading to love - with a twist on the story with the MC expecting to get divorced after having a baby. Hoping that the next volume will be out shortly as I'm keen to see a HEA.

I really wanted to like this one, but unfortunately the patchy editing makes it a bit of a confusing read as you progress through the volumes. The general gist of the story is that the Queen is a white lion with a human as a pet, who is being forced to marry one of her own kind (another white lion) in order to assure the future of the monarchy. Said fiance has her brother captive in order to ensure the marriage goes ahead. I can't work out if this is supposed to be romance or a slave/master story or something else. Suggest renting this one only.
