Quick Synopsis:
“Welcome, one and all, to our little Agency. I'm sure that at one time or another, you've felt frustrated by the actions of a certain troublesome individual, who always seems to make your life more difficult. You know the feeling – through no fault of your own, your every step is hindered by the actions of someone who's been born onto this Earth just to trip you up?
That's where our Agency comes in. With just one word from you, our special volunteer staff will happily lay a complex trap for the individual who causes you so much frustration, and exact sweet revenge on the troublemaker for you, turning their life into exactly the kind of living hell you want. We'll make them surrender totally to our will, force them into perfect obedience while we punish them for the crime of tormenting you. Of course, we use the word "volunteer" loosely. Payment is always required for our services, but don't worry – we'll never ask you for money.”

YAOI AMV: Absolute Obedience Boys’ Love Game
This game is currently on sale at RightStuf for only $17.99 (I paid double when I bought it)! It's one of the few boys' love games we have available in English (Spoken Japanese, Written English). I will be posting a review of the game shortly.

YAOI ANIME: Viewfinder Animix Screenshots
There have been a lot of questions recently about when the Viewfinder animix is to be released. As of right now Sensei is not spilling the beans (I've asked twice!), but she has been very good about posting pictures of the animix in process. Since she is very much involved in how the animix will look I'm guessing it is still in the process of being made based on the screenshots (which I've posted below). As you'll see, they are very high quality, which is to be expected of any project Sensei is involved in. Even though it's not an anime, I think we will all still be very happy.
Speaking of, there was a lot of confusion at YaoiCon when the translator accidentally said 'anime' instead of 'animix' during Sensei's panel. If you've never seen an animix before, here is a clip of the Yebisu Celebrities animix so you can get an idea of what to expect:

Wow, I can't believe it yet I can! Ayano Yamane's Finder 3: One Wing in the Viewfinder has hit #4 on the New York Time's best selling manga list for the week ending April 16th! Here's the entire top 10 list:
| This Week | Manga | Weeks on List |
| 1 | Rosario + Vampire, Season Two, V4 | 2 |
| 2 | Akira, V6 | 1 |
| 3 | Blue Exorcist, V1 | 2 |
| 4 | Finder, V3 | 1 |

EDIT: The Arts Beat over at the New York Times specifically mentions Viewfinder out of all of the manga above!
"Over on the manga list, at No. 4, there is “Finder,” Vol. 3, an example of yaoi (boy love) manga, which is about a twisted romance between a photographer and an underworld tough."
HA! Poor Asami is an 'underworld tough'. I love it! Congratulations, Sensei!
EDIT #2: Sensei had this to say on Twitter when she found out about the #4 spot: "Wao! I am so happy! Thank you very much!"

CONTEST: Winners of the Viewfinder Contest!
There were a decent amount of entries but deciding who deserved to call themselves Viewfinder's BIGGEST fan wasn't easy. Let me start by saying that illegally downloaded materials did not qualify as proving you are the biggest fan. Sorry. Once I weeded those entries out, I chose 4 that I felt deserved a copy even though I did have 5 copies to give away. So without further adieu, here they are!
This entry stood out above all others. Now THIS is dedication!
I'm such a big fan of The Finder series that I immediately purchased all three released volumes from BeBeautiful on the days they became available for purchase from their website. I then packed the books in a ziplock bag, with the air squeezed out, and placed them in a fireproof safe for safe keeping. ~Jukebox
Awesome!
CONTEST:Are you Finder’s biggest fan? PROVE IT!
If you think you're Finder's biggest fan, here is your chance to prove it and win an ADVANCED COPY of volume 1 releasing in September! How do you prove it? You decide! I'm leaving it totally up to you. Write a poem, photograph your collection, do a video of yourself squeeing over its upcoming release… it's up to you! Whatever you choose, do it fast! This contest ends at midnight PST on August 31st, 2010.
Oh, did I mention I have FIVE COPIES to give away AND that this contest is open to ALL countries? No excuses! Now show some love to Digital Manga who has graciously agreed to provide the five advanced copies AND were nice enough to agree to ship them international when I asked. You know me, always looking out for my international readers. 
Feel free to comment here, thank them on twitter or visit them on their site.
All contest entries must be submitted by midnight PST on 8/31/10 via email to:
info AT theyaoireview DOT com
If you have questions about the contest, please post them below in comments so all can see the answer. Have fun with it and I look forward to what you crazy fans come up with!
