YAOI NEWS: New Est Em Title & Pics of Equus

In April Est Em had posted about her recent release Equus with this gorgeous cover. It sounded like it wasn't releasing until August but I think the translation was just bad as it appears it has since been released. I've been perusing the internet and was able to scrounge up some additional pictures of this lovely title if you're curious about how two centaurs would, uh… make love. 

The following pictures are from the same person although I do not know her name. She runs a WordPress site called I Am Fujoshi and also has a Tumblr of the same name. Enjoy!

YAOI NEWS: Finder & Crimson Spell Drama CD’s

The June issue of BeBoy Gold has the lastest drama CD of Ayano Yamane, Finder no Hyouteki. You can pick up your copy via Akadot or YaoiClub as both currently have issues available and the cost is the same. Some of the titles included in this issue are: 

* Dramatic ni Ubae! by Yuu Higashino
* Secret Flight by Ren Tamaki
* Papa wa Tsuraiyo by Ryo Sakurai
* Not Equal by Reibun Ike
* Dannasama to Mitsugetsuchu by Haruka Minami
* Ai aru Kazoku Seikatsu by Sakira
* Mr. Secret Floor by Yuu Asagiri

There are other stories included and of course, this is entirely in Japanese. The cost is $17.00 and if you ship by media mail, which is the least expensive, the total cost is $23.08 (I'm in the U.S. and this was the total cost when I ordered it). Both ship internationally and you can find out that information here.

Also, Sensei has confirmed that the Crimson Spell drama CD will be released in the next issue of issue of Chara Selection released on July 22nd.

 

As soon as this issue of Chara Selection is out, I will let you know as it is carried by both Akadot and Yaoi Club.

YAOI NEWS: TOKYOPOP Addresses Licensing

TOKYOPOP has finally made a statement regarding the status of their existing licenses. Here is the statement as posted on their Facebook account: 

Dear fans,
 
It's been a while since we've commented on the status of all the titles that are left unfinished or unpublished. Just so you know, we're still reading all of your comments and want to explain a few things:
 
Our general absence on Facebook hasn't gone unnoticed, but it's mainly due to the fact that we were looking for answers to all of your questions too! Shutting down a publishing company like TOKYOPOP isn't exactly pulling a plug out of a wall, so please understand that it might take a little bit longer than usual before we get to your questions.

YAOI FUNNY: Size Matters!

You know how they say a picture is worth a thousand words? Well, let's just say you don't need to know what's being said in this video to get its meaning.

YAOI AMV: Togainu no Chi Boys’ Love Game

(This should go without saying but this clearly is spoilerish of the game if you haven't played it.) 

The good news is this is a pretty cool AMV and NSFW. The bad news is there are two commercials that interrupt it (It's on Daily Motion and not YouTube). It's worth dealing with it, I promise!

YAOI REVIEW: Close the Last Door Volume 2

Close the Last Door! Volume 2 ~ Yugi Yamada
Juné Manga ~ 192 Pages
Japanese Pub Date~2004 / English Pub Date~10/2010
Book Size ~ 5 1/8 x 7 3/16

(NOTE: This is smaller than volume 1)

Quick Synopsis:

“Nagai and Honda have been a (mostly) happy couple for an entire year. In fact, they’ve dealt with teasing in-laws, competitive gift-giving… and even an exhausting hunt for their own apartment! Bust just when everything seems too perfect to be true, sweet and sneaky Saitou pops up to cause a little broken-hearted mayhem. Will this face from the past succeed in tearing Nagai and Honda apart for good?

Close the Last Door teases and tempts with the story of a love triangle that refuses to topple! Nagai, Honda and Saitou love to push one another’s buttons in and out of the bedroom. But can these bold men bear the strain of secret meetings, business trips and non-stop flirtations? It’ll take a little flexibility and a lot of hard work if this threesome is going to keep everyone happy!”

Yaoi Pretty: Model Andrej Pejic

Thank you Barnes & Noble for bringing this gorgeous piece of androgyny to my attention. If you haven't heard, Barnes & Noble recently caused a stir by requiring magazine Dossier to censor its cover feeling that shirtless model Andrej Pejic looked too female and that customers may get the wrong idea. I'll leave it to you to decide if you agree or disagree with Barnes & Noble's decision. Here is the infamous cover 'uncensored' for your viewing pleasure. 

Here's a little bit of his biography from Models.com:

"Country of origin: Bosnia-Herzegovina. Father is Croatian, mother is Serbian. From WWD profile December 20, 2010: "Since the fashion industry first began asking “Who’s the blonde girl?” at the Paris men’s shows in June (2010), 19-year- old Serbian Australian model Andrej Pejic has emerged as a poster boy for fashion androgyny. His long, platinum blonde hair and feminine features caught the attention of, among others, Steven Meisel and Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. Jean Paul Gaultier not only booked Pejic for his spring 2011 men’s show, he also cast him in his spring ad campaign alongside Czech supermodel Karolina Kurkova. Now it looks like Marc Jacobs may also be going the guess-the-gender route for his Marc by Marc Jacobs spring campaign. Pejic recently returned from shooting the ads in Marrakech with Juergen Teller alongside look-alike Latvian (female) model Ginta Lapina. Born in Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Pejic and his family fled the war-torn region in the Nineties before settling as refugees in Melbourne, Australia."

Let's take a look at a few more delicious pictures of this androgynous beauty:

Do you know who he reminds me of? A blonde version of Bill Kaulitz (Tokio Hotel). LOVE that bone structure!
