Tokyo Shinjuu by Totempole

Tokyo Shinjuu

I saw the bright, stylized covers of Tokyo Shinjuu and its intriguing title (心中 can mean a double/lovers’ suicide) and knew I had to obtain these. I’m glad I did and I was definitely not alone–all the online stores quickly went through their initial stock and were sold out for weeks. Originally released as doujinshi, there are now four tankoubon under the Edge Comix imprint. This entry will be a quick peek into the series, hopefully highlighting what makes it so appealing in the vast sea of BL manga.

Fantasy by Okachimachi Hato (aka Matsumoto Miecohouse) is a fantasy manga in two ways: some characters have supernatural powers and the main couple is a 14 year old girl pursuing a 59 year old man.

There is a secret the Shinsengumi are hiding–BOOBIES!

Himitsu no Shinsengumi is a Manga Erotics F title, which makes you expect several things: excellence, something aimed at a mature audience (also meaning lack of furigana), and possibly something naughty. It delivers mostly just the second.
