I'm going to be left without internet for about a week because my sister does not want to deal with the our current Internet provider.

That means I'm going to have to live without internet for about a week and I've known that during those times it gets really boring. I seriously need to find something else that would keep me busy for a week. Sadly I don't think there's anything that would keep me occupied long enough until then. I'm probably going to be bored near death when I can finally get internet again. Though I guess that gives me an incentive to work on my artwork or something.

I've not been feeling like drawing for a long time. Maybe it's because of my laziness and mood.

I just finished Mei's route which was mostly boring until it finally reached the climax of the game which is like 2/3 into the game and there are still boring parts in the game afterwards like the part where it makes sure that you understand the main plot of the story. There's like 3 characters that explain all the details to you though you are already told by the other characters or already given hints by them so it gets even more boring. Though throughout the game you get a few interactions with the other characters especially Eus the guy with the TRUE route. Every time I see him I get the feeling that the game is blatantly urging me to play his route. Anyways I'll be talking about spoilers so scrolling any further down is nothing but spoilers.

Cut to the spoilers behind the story )

Apparently there are visual novel games that exist that can pass as having no solid romantic interest in the game. Which I'm honestly not that surprised that they exist but I imagine that if their selling point is not on their romance then it must be on the plot set up. Which I'd say it's pretty risque to put all your eggs in. So they must hire a very good writer. Though I'd say putting all your eggs in one basket is not a good idea in the most part although that doesn't mean that doing so will mean that they won't come out with something great.

So far I'm aware of 2 BL games that kind of fit this role:

Daylight ~Asa ni Hikari no Kan wo~
Hanakisou

I took a look at the stories and they all seem to have very serious storylines. Hanakisou is a story about fate and destiny..... Daylight is kind of the same in that aspect too, but it doesn't really involve a lot of destiny and more or less fate.

The story of Hanakisou goes in that the end of the world will come if a certain person is not killed by a certain point in their lifespan and the world will be covered in snow and that person will be named Kuroto. However only one person can kill that person and that person is the savior. Kind of corny right? Anyways the only problem is that the Kuroto is not a bad person, but a kind gentle person who willingly accepts his fate because he doesn't want the world to end because of him. The savior however is has been raised from birth to kill Kuroto and when he meets him Kuroto treats the savior with kindness and befriends him. Not expecting this outcome the savior is conflicted with his duty and feelings. So the savior decides that he'll abandon his duty in order to find a way to save the world without killing Kuroto. He decides that he'll protect Kuroto instead of killing him.

Honestly you might as well say that they're eloping and the savior must either really be in love with him or he has very high morals. Thought I doubt that he has high morals seeing as he does kill a innocent girl later on. This reminds me of di[e]ce and yeah it's annoyingly spelled like that. Where 2 best friends (with the same face) find out that they are forced to play a game where they have to kill one another in order to end the game, but if they don't they are put into a game in which they have to save their guardians or stay alive that kind of thing. However they have no intentions of killing each other and will obviously try to find a way to end the game without killing each other. Though they really really seem like they're too close to each to just be best friends. They're like soulmates really. I mean once they found out that they have to kill each other they seem to angst about each other. The main character especially desperately wants to meet his friend again, while the other main character wants to save the other friend. Yeah I don't think it's a bad basis for the story, but later on the two meet their guardians that are supposed to protect them and the thing is that for each type of guardian they get have the same face. How corny and cheesy is that? It's like they cloned a group of people and forced them to play Saw.

Daylight is about a school boy who is forced to move from a private room to sharing a room with another roommate. He is also chosen as the morning messenger or what others like to call 'sacrifice.' His friend who happens to be the grandson of principal makes him investigate the 7 wonders of the academy.

The people who reviewed this didn't spoil a lot of information so I'll just say this much until I learn more, but after reading some spoilers it seems interesting enough and has surely caught my attention. Though in all honestly I'm just playing it for the silver/white haired guy who some say looks like Riku from KH. I'd say he's more appealing than Riku because he seems less generic personality-wise. I can't wait to play his route.

Though after falling for him at first sight I realize that I have a thing for silver/white long haired bishies. Though that doesn't apply to everyone who meets those requirements, I of course don't find any Final Fantasy characters appealing. I think what I find so appealing about them is that they usually have something interesting about them. Cause they seem to have some interesting background story or interesting personalities. Well this is something I just learned about myself recently so it may or may not just be a temporary fad of mine.

I've decided to list a Want list. Which means if you're trying to sell something that's on my want less I won't mind if you comment/pm to me about it. However at the moment I'm not really in a good financial situation to purchase anything that's not an essential need for my survival so it'd be kind of pointless to do so at the moment.

Want list:

Any (Asato x Rai) Lamento doujinshi: Though to list some of them:
Cobalt no Tsumeato
Cloud Nine
Count Zero
A cute Lamento doujinshi of Rai as a child
Togainu no Chi B's Log English manga vol. 7 all the way to the end.
Lamento B's Log vol. 3 (has yet to come out though) all the way to the end.
Tora-san to Ookami-san (Mr. Tiger and Mr. Wolf) English manga
Tora nii-san to Wanko-san manga if it ever gets licensed.

Title: Sawada-kun no Kareshi
Fandom: Hitman Reborn
Pairings: 6927
Rating: E (for everyone)
Circle: Inside+SD

This takes place after the previous one I reviewed Odaijini. I forgot to mention that in the previous one, Nana, Tsuna's terrible excuse for a mother, thought that Tsuna had a girlfriend who came over after Mukuro left. Anyways she goes running off her mouth to everyone in the house about it and Mukuro finds out about it. He gives Tsuna a visit and gets a little possessive/aggressive over him. Afterwards he confesses that he wants Tsuna. They have a sexy make out session and Mukuro gives Tsuna an off-page mouth service to Tsuna's lower regions.

Note: Forgot to mention that I get all my Inside+SD Doujinshis from another person I practically have to ask if she has them. Inside+SD isn't that well known and the doujinshis are rare and hard to come by especially her older ones like the Togainu no Chi doujinshi which if I ever find I may have to fight tooth and nail for and lose a lot of money.

Title: Odaijini
Fandom: Hitman Reborn
Pairings: 6927
Rating: E (for everyone)
Circle: Inside+SD

One of the doujinshis that were included in the MukuroTsuna collection. The only one I didn't mention because I was going to review it. Anyways, the story goes that Tsuna's sick and everyone being a wonderful family they are left him alone in the house unattended. However Mukuro decides to take a visit. He goes to fetch Tsuna some food. He hand feeds Tsuna and even blows the hot food for Tsuna. Tsuna then points out that what he's doing is like a girl hand feeding her boyfriend or something along those lines which embarrasses Mukuro. Afterwards Tsuna touches Mukuro's head and we get 2 cute reactions. Afterwards Mukuro gives Tsuna his medicine.....by mouth! Afterwards Tsuna thanks Mukuro and Mukuro departs. A wonderful book even though this theme has been done many times. I also actually have a book done by Tepo which is almost the same, the main different is that Tsuna and Mukuro switch roles.

Title: MukuroTsuna Sairokushuu
Fandom: Hitman Reborn
Pairings: 6927
Rating: M (for mature as in there are sexual themes, but they don't do it)
Circle: Inside+SD

ALSKFJDLASJDFLAJFLALFDLKJALSFJD! Finally my favorite circle! This is actually a collection of 6927 doujinshi that Inside+SD has done since 2008-2009. What I love about this doujinaka is the positions that she/he uses to draw the characters and the flow/timing of the story. It just moves my heart every time I read/look at it.

This collection includes a story of where Mukuro has a sleep over with Tsuna and starts kissing Tsuna however their romantic moment is ruined by Lambo. Mukuro leaves in the middle of the night however before he parts he gives Tsuna a midnight kiss who was apparently still awake. Tsuna couldn't sleep because he'd been thinking about Mukuro.

The next story is where Tsuna was forced to take Mukuro's picture. Mukuro lets Tsuna take his pictures and they take turns taking pictures of each other. Afterwards Mukuro asks Tsuna if he can keep a picture of Tsuna. Then Tsuna leaving blushing and wondering why Mukuro wanted the picture of him smiling.

Next story is of Mukuro being transported to the future and meeting his TYL self. They greet and TYL Mukuro is holding a flower in which he says that it's a flower for a date. Mukuro gets sent back to the past and is greeted by a worried and crying Tsuna. Adorable/funny moment where Mukuro tries to wipe Tsuna's tears with his sleeve. Apparently it's Mukuro's birthday and Tsuna has given him a present, It's a hair tie. Mukuro sees that it's the one that TYL Mukuro wore and he give Tsuna a kiss. I really like this page where Tsuna is just holding his face after Mukuro kissed him it's cute.

This story, it's Valentine's day. Tsuna is forced by the girls to give Gokudera their chocolates, when Mukuro sees Tsuna with the chocolates, he gets the wrong impression and they get into an argument which results them in slapping each other and Tsuna running off. Then Mukuro sees that Tsuna was planing to give Mukuro some chocolates. Mukuro manages to catch up with Tsuna and thanks Tsuna by giving him a chocolate kiss.

This story is where Tsuna has a dream and Mukuro's in it seducing him in a butler outfit. However they don't get far and it ends with Mukuro feeding a giraffe because it's a dream. lol.

I have this next doujinshi by itself so I'll review it later.

The rest of the stories are short ones, mostly gag.

Title: Odorasete agemasuyo kiri no karuneva-re
Fandom: Hitman Reborn
Pairings: 6927
Rating: E (nothing sexual in here)
Circle: Gyarandoh

Why such a long name?! I also got this at Yaoi-con. Well anyways the story goes is that Tsuna and co. have to dress up or something. Tsuna almost gets mauled by Hibari, but is saved by Mukuro. Tsuna returns the favor by concealing Mukuro by shoving his butt in his face and under his shirt from Gokudera though I don't really see the need for it. I guess Tsuna doesn't want to cause Mukuro trouble. Anyways Mukuro goes all embarrassed and tsundere on Tsuna because of it. lol, which is cute. Oh, at the end there's a short novel on a few pages.

Title: Mugendai
Fandom: Hitman Reborn
Pairings: 6927
Rating: R-18
Circle: Gyarandoh

This doujinaka actually colors some of her books however this is not one of them. As my time of a 6927 fan one of my goals was to obtain one of her colored doujinshi. However she ain't perfect on the anatomy prospect. Anyways what happens in this doujin is something along the lines of Tsuna avoiding TYL Mukuro because he's embarrassed or something. However Reborn shoots the Dying will bullet on Tsuna which prompts him to confess to TYL Mukuro while Mukuro was in the bathtub. lol! They should really make confessions like these. Anyways afterwards Mukuro plays with Tsuna with his hands (if you know what I mean) and Tsuna offers to relieve Mukuro (not using his lower regions sadly), but does a bad job at it which made Mukuro go a little rough on him.

Kemonomimi stands for animal ears in Japan. It's a type of character that typically has a few animal features and mostly looks human. I don't know if it's categorized as furry. I for one don't like furries that look realistically half furry and half human.

Anyways I realized that I really like Kemonomimi. I love characters with animal ears and tails. Maybe it's because I like fluffy soft things that like to cuddle up next to you. I probably started liking it when I first watched Digi Charat. That was a fun show back in the old days though sometimes it was just weird. This probably explains one of the reasons why I like Lamento, but of course I liked it because it was a fantasy genre and it had Rai, the first tsundere character I like.
