I'm a HUGE fan of Gravitation and FAKE, the manga versions and the animated versions.

I've been looking at other titles recently and am thinking of previewing the following:

Sukisho
Loveless
My Sexual Harassment
Sensitive Pornograph

Has anyone seen any of these? I know My Sexual Harassment
and Sensitive Pornograph are hardcore, which is fine. I just wanted some opionions if anyone has watched these already. How are they and are they worth shelling out the money for?

I'm watching Loveless right now. I'm really enjoying it. It's a little twisted: college student who more than a little intersted with a 6th grader. But it's really enjoyable so far and I'm looking forward to the final DVD.

Sukisho was enjoyable too. It takes a little bit to really get into the main storyline but it was enjoyable. The final episode which really has nothing to do with the entire story was funny as hell!

Hope that helps.

If you like Gravitation, I'd say chances are you may really like Sukisho. It's got drama and humor and plenty of pretty boys.

Although, I haven't seen Loveless, I've actually heard that the series is suppose to be pretty good.

I'd highly suggest checking both of those titles out.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with either My Sexual Harassment or Sensitive Pornograph, though...

btw, this site has some reviews of shounen-ai/yaoi titles... you may find it useful. *shrugs*

Just wondering, but how old are you? If you’re under 18, stay away from Sensitive Pornograph and My Sexual Harassment. It's illegal to show minors porn, isn't it? I myself am under age, and though I know a lot of girls my age who disregard the "ABSOLUTLY NOT FOR CHILDREN" label on yaoi anime and manga, I respect the law and don't watch/read them. What a good Catholic schoolgirl I am. 0Smile

Sukisho and Loveless are excellent. I recommend Sukisho especially for Gravitation fans, because it's so cute and fluffy. Loveless is a bit darker, but it's a better series, in my opinion.

I like Boys Love, Yuri, Shojo, and Moe (as long as it doesn't get nasty-- big bouncing boobies on eight-to-twelve year old girls is just unatractive.) in general.

So you're a shojo reader?

Yes, I believed I listed shojo as one of my favorite genres. Although technically everything I listed could be classified as shojo, with the exception of moe. My favorite manga and anime are Revolutionary Girl Utena, Loveless, and Boys Next Door. But this thread really isn't about me-- are you some kind of stalker? Wink

Yes, I stay up all night and peak at girls through windows Twisted Evil
Please, I go to college and have an honest job, why would I want to do that Sad ? I read shojo too, though. It's interesting to get a women's point of view on romance and stuff. Unfortunately most of the stuff I search for is in Japanese but can never find it Anime cry

Sensitive Pornograph is basically pure smut, especially the second half (It's divided into two totally unrelated stories, but the first one does have some sort of vague storyline... The second one doesn't Anime hyper). It's much higher quality than most of the yaoi that's around, because it's pretty recent. But yeah, it's designed to be porn and little else.

My Sexual Harrassment is very dated, but it's a classic *grin* It also actually has a plot! It's not the best thing out there, but I'd definitely recommend it just because it's almost a rite of passage to watch it Anime smile

Hope that helps!

Oh, I was just kidding. I'm not really that paranoid.

Oh, and My Sexual Harassment apparently has a really famous "corn scene" that "every yaoi fan should see." Here's a screenshot.

(WARNING: this is kind of explicit. No ding-dongs in sight, but that's only because one guy's face is in the way. I did a google search on "the corn scene" and this picture came up: that's just how infamous it is.)

Amazing how they can make guys look so girly.

*grin* the Boku no Sexual Harrassment guys are mostly actually pretty masculine compared to most... But yeah, some yaoi I've seen looks more like yuri than anything Very Happy

Here's the site it came from, just scroll down and look for the guy with the corn shoved up his ass.

I think the guys from MSH look pretty masculine, by yaoi and anime standards.
