Loveless
Mar 15th
Twelve-year old Aoyagi Ritsuka is left with his insane mother as his only family when his brother, Seimei, is killed suddenly. After moving to a new school, he meets Agatsuma Soubi, who claims to have known his brother. Ritsuka eventually discovers that Soubi and Seimei used to be a fighting pair, whereby Soubi was the "Fighter" and Seimei was the "Sacrifice". Now that Seimei is gone, Ritsuka has inherited Soubi, who will become his "Fighter". After learning that Seimei was killed by an organisation known as the "Seven Moons", Ritsuka decides to investigate into his brother’s death, with the sometimes useless help of Soubi, along the way.
Loveless has been called a “boylove anime” and by Western standards it is, of course. What else can a series that circles around the love affair between a 12-yearold and a 20-yearold be called? If in doubt, the series itself will provide you with the necessary clues. Like for example when Soubi’s jealous ex-boyfriend accuses him of having a “Lolita complex” because of his obsession with Ritsuka.
At the same time it should not be called a “boylove anime”. This anime is made for TV by a big production company. The aim is to earn money. And how do you earn money? By attracting a lot of people. And a lot of people are apparently attracted to the love between Ritsuka and Soubi. In the West, we call that boylove. In Japan, they call it sweet.

Otoko no Ko no Tame no Ananio Nyuumon
Dec 13th
I have to admit this post has some weird-you-out potential, therefore it’s protected ;) I’ll just assume that everyone with an account here is, regardless of his/her age, open minded enough to read about anal masturbation :p Fans of such activities fans may be interested in seeing a recent primer describing the art of anal onanism, called “ananie” (from the Japanese “onanie”). The book describes in detail how men can derive sexual pleasure from anal stimulation during the act of self-pleasure, complete with helpful anatomical diagrams and moe art… The book goes into great detail about a variety of male-oriented sex-toys and techniques of prostate massage, all helpfully demonstrated by cross-dressing boys. “Hitori-de Dekirumon – Otoko no Ko no Tame no Ananio Nyuumon” is available internationally now – it is in fact but the latest in a series of similar titles describing such practices.

Of the many happy campers at the record-demolishing (and economy-confounding) Sotheby’s auction last night, Takashi Murakami may have been the happiest. Drawing stares from art-world veterans — one told us she’d never seen an artist show up to watch his own work on the block — the Japanese Pop maestro sat in the back of the room with a serene smile as My Lonesome Cowboy, his larger-than-life sculpture of a boy waving an ejaculate lasso, brought in $15.2 million.
Thanks for the hint Ray :)
