kutsuwamushiMangaka: Hiiro Reiichi
Genre: Yaoi, fantasy
Length: 1 volume (complete)
Scanlated: Fushichou
Ayase kai almost drowns in the ocean but is saved by a merman. He thought it is all a bizare dream, until the merman shows up again at his company, this time with legs. He claims to be a rich prince and Ayase's new boss but thats not all, his true goal is to make Ayase his mate! (Fushichou)
Hiiro Reiichi's art isn't that much to look at, but the stories usually make up for it. They have the same appeal as a ridiculously cheesy, yet plotty, piece of fanfiction. They're just the sort of escapist reading that I'm often in the mood for. That's why Hiiro Reiichi is one of my favorites despite the difficulty of keeping the "i"s in her name straight.
This story takes the cheese to the next level. The merman searching for his mate trope is quite funny to start with, but my favorite part is the merman's brother, who shows up looking for him. He's an anal retentive neatfreak who falls in love with a slob.
Be warned, this series is so cheesy that we have mermen going into heat.

Fushichou's website lists this series as licensed, but as far as I can tell that's only in German. They've pulled the downloads nonetheless, since they're German. PM me or comment if you want a copy.

kutsuwamushiMangaka Sakurai Shushushu
Genre: Yaoi, comedy
Length: 5 chapters (complete)
Scanlated by: Attractive Fascinante
The little rich boy, Hiroshigu, went on board a fishing boat out of curiosity as well as for the fun of it. However, he was swept off by waves and ends up on a deserted island with the bodyguard he hates mostâMiyakawa! (AF)
I have a friend who likes to send me the weird, horrifying, and yet hilarious things that she finds on the internet. Once, she sent me Vibrator Company by Sakurai Shushushu. I would love to tell you what it was about, but I don't think that the words "vibrating trade secrets" and "splintery wooden dildo" properly convey the spirit of the story.
Vibrator Company has been licensed, but Mujintou Lovers hasn't. And More importantly, I actually like Mujintou Lovers better. The funniest thing about Vibrator Company is your initial reaction to the crazy things that happen in it--so it's not as funny on the reread. The humor in Mujintou Lovers is more about the characters.
Still not convinced? Then look at this. That's so sexy.
The first two chapters are about the desert island romance of Hiroshigu and Miyakawa, and the last three are unconnected oneshots.

[REC] FROM EROICA WITH LOVE
May. 2nd, 2009 10:57 pmkutsuwamushiMangaka: Aoike Yasuko
Genre: Shoujo
Length: See below
Scanlated by: The Pink Panzer
I feel like a twit, recommending this classic series that everyone has heard of, but I'd like to introduce you to this new scanlation group. They focus on classic shoujo, shounen-ai, and yaoi. Here's their summary:
What happens when a gay art thief and a conservative NATO officer cross paths? Disaster, of course. Dorian is an aristocrat, a thief and a hedonist; Klaus is a duty-driven espionage agent with no patience for fools. Follow them as they chase each other across the globe -- from Britain to Baghdad, from Alaska to Alexandria, from Moscow to Madrid. Spectacular locations and non-stop adventures await!
Yes, well, basically. What they fail to mention in that paragraph is that they're peddling pure crack.
The Pink Panzer says that they're scanlating Eroica because, although the series is licensed, the publisher is releasing volumes at a glacial pace. It will probably be years before the volumes they're scanlating are officially avaiable in English. They picked up with story sixteen, which is somewhere around volume twenty. They do provide links to the earlier anonymous scanlations for those who don't want to miss out on Dorian stealing the pope.
