Ever wonder what would happen if Tom Cruise's character in The Last Samurai had decided to start sleeping with Chinese male prostitutes instead of going to Japan? I do, all the time. Thank Goodness for DMP, who is going to be publishing the German yaoi manga that was just published earlier this year.
A "historical yaoi" set in 19th century San Francisco, the story follows George Callahan, an ex-surgeon who is haunted by his time in the Civil War. He turns to opium and soon after gets himself involved with the brothels in Chinatown. While searching for a woman from his past, he comes upon a dim-witted male prostitute, Jun, and everything heads south of the border from there.
There's plenty of story going to get in the way of reading two boys slamming into each other, which may or may not be a good thing, depending on your tastes. I felt this was necessary to highlight because the description was just that spectacular.
Oh, and I suppose there's the news that they're going to be renting chapters of the book over on their eManga website. The details of the entire plan are after the jump, and they actually don't sound too bad. It looks like DMP has the right idea with their rental service, so trying it out on the yaoi demographic might not be a bad place to start.
I am feel ashamed that I've never gotten the chance to go to the arcades like most people in my age group. Instead of hearing me whine about a great era that I missed out upon, let's rejoice over the idea that 100 Yen: The Ja...

Back when I lived in Houston, I was given the chance to catch Black Magic M-66 on Action Channel when I was hanging out at a friends place. From what I remember about my experience with the OVA, it was an intense story where ...

This series certainly seems to be doing rather well for itself, and I'm certainly all for an IP like Pokémon to explore the realms of digital-only games a little more. Pokémon Rumble U will bring the wind-up se...

If you were thinking, hey, I really like Link's Awakening and the Gameboy in general, but those Oracle games came out in 2001, which was just a weird time for everybody and I never really got to them. Well, if you were thinki...

For a second, I could have sworn that I heard Garou: Mark of the Wolves (aka Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves), but then I realized that this is a new anime license by Sentai that we are talking about. One thing for s...
