Kizuna: Bonds of Love is a yaoi manga, authored by Kazuma Kodaka. Released in 1994, and still ongoing, it was one of the first and most popular manga to feature a homosexual relationship.
The story follows Ranmaru Samejima, a star kendo athlete, and Kei Enjouji, the illegitimate son of a yakyza boss, in their attempt to preserve their relationship through hardships, such as a car accident which cripples Ranmaru, barring him from ever achieving his dreams of being a kendo star. The two must work together through their respective hardships in order to heal their relationship and discover why they loved each other in the first place.
It also includes a side story, in the form of a love triangle involving Enjouji's half-brother Kai Sagano, who is intent on winning Ranmaru's affections at all cost. In one scene, Ranmaru is invited by a professor to accompany him to a gay club. Upon arrival, the professor slips Ranmaru the drug ecstasy, but before he can rape him, Kai intrudes, incapacitating the professor and having sex with Ranmaru first. Kai also eventually ends up involved with one of his bodyguards, Masanori "Masa" Araki, who rescues Kai from a mob kidnapping. As the story develops, feelings between Masa and Kai also begin to emerge.
From the fourth volume of Kizuna, we are introduced to the character, Tashiro, also a bodyguard of the yakuza and one of Masa's associates. Although he says that he had "sexual relations" with Masa it is not yet determined whether this is true or not. Tashiro also has a lover called JB.

My Sexual Harassment is a professional work, novel and anime with character designs by Kazuma Kodaka.
Mochizuki is a salary man, working in a computer firm, who catches the eye of Honma, his boss. Honma is very very blunt with his advances, and though it seems Mochizuki is uncomfortable with how quickly Honma progresses their relationship, he aims to please. In short time Mochizuki becomes Honma's repeated play thing, to the point where he complies to his every command. Though Mochizuki is taken repeatedly in the series by various people (including the nasty old vice president from a partner company)..he has the odd thing that he feels discomfort with every penetration, so that every time is like his first. As such all you ever see and hear Mochizuki do is blush, whimper and moan like a girl. No, literally. He is so extremely uke, that even his clients top him, and boy does everyone move fast on the poor guy. He barely meets someone for the first time before they are taking some sort of advantage of him.
This series isn't just about the rough sex, (though they skillfully show no parts) it also has a cute little love story. It seems Mochizuki is haunted by a memory of his youth where he is saved by an older, tanned boy when he falls off a bridge and into a river. He develops a sort of trust in this person to the point where they hang out in a boat in the summer afternoon (little Mochizuki even swims around naked!). In Mochizuki's present life it seems he compares every person he meets intimately to this mysterious guy from the past. While he is being used and abused by everyone, the one person who truly cares about him ends up being another coworker named Fujita. Fujita genuinely loves him and they do share a tender kiss under the moon in one scene (but by now Mochizuki is infatuated with Honma), though he always ends up back in Honma's hands, much to Fujita's despair. In the end of the series it is hinted that Mochizuki has taken his life into his own hands, even swearing he did everything of his free will and admitted he had sex with people to climb up the corporate ladder and for once he smiles seductively at a flustered Fujita as he closes the curtains to his apartment balcony. Does Mochizuki finally get to top someone? Does he finally find love in Fujita? Or does he continue being Honma's property. That's left up to your imagination

Από αυτά έχω δει μόνο το My Sexual Harassment.
Για yaoi, καλό μου φάνηκε.
Υπόθεση με twist, καλούτσικο σχέδιο κι επίσης μου εκανε εντύπωση ότι ο uke δεν ήταν κατά το σύνηθες θηλυπρεπής, δηλαδή γυναίκα σχεδόν κανονική.

Μήπως είσαι στην προκειμένη περίπτωση κάπως επιεικής στα κριτήρια σου για τη θηλυπρέπεια; :)
Πάντως σίγουρα ο Καζούμα Κοντάκα είναι ένας αναγνωρισμένος δημιουγός γιαόι.
Και, πίστεψέ με, με την εικόνα που έχω από την τελευταία κομικέτ (συνάντηση δημιουργών μάνγκα) στο Τόκυο, κρίνοντας μόνο από τον αριθμό των συμμετεχόντων, δημιουργών και (παθιασμένων) αναγνωστών, αυτό θα πρέπει να είναι ένα πραγματικά μεγάλο κατόρθωμα.

Δεν έχω δει κανένα από τα δυο.
Ότι γιαόι έχει περάσει από τον υπολογιστή μου ήταν λίγο ως πολύ σάχλα.
Από τα shounen-ai κάτι γίνεται, μιας και δεν υπόσχονται πολλά εξαρχής.
