MC: Alucard and Anderson[The priest] I dun care who disagrees with me but the vampire almost gets a boner at the prospect of fighting Father Anderson. Although he does love to tease his master and his fledgling. Although Alucard is one of those fence sitters. You never truly know what's going on in that crazy freaky head of his.
Never read the manga Cain, I heard it was pretty good.
I think Hellsing is going to be on my to watch list for sure now!
Can't argue with a sexy priest.
Or a crazy vampire! Oh, if you've never read the manga Count Cain I really recommend it
versora! It's a gorgeous manga and quite sad, but Riff/Cain is such a gorgeously portrayed relationship. It's definitely one of those "must read" mangas for the yaoi lover.
If you've seen Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler), you'll notice the similarity in plot, despite Kuroshitsuji's more dark-comedic tone and Count Cain's sadder storyline, but it's obvious where Kuroshitsuji got most of it's base ideas.
Well, looks like I'll be on the look out for Count Cain. I have seen a few episodes of Black Butler, but what creeped me out is the fact that some uber obsessed fangirls tended to make a yaoi pairing out of the two main characters. For Pete's sake the boy is eight years old.... *shivers* Uhm, no...... Anyway another good Shounen-Ai is Loveless or Yami no Matsui[Descendants of Darkness] My absolute favorite yaoi hands down is Ai no Kusabi[The Space Between] or something Blue Wolves.
Errrrr....the two main characters from Kuroshitsuji are actually supposed to have yaoi subtext. Watch it for an episode or read more than a chapter and you're likely to come across blatant fangirl-pandering. The author has a lot of fun with physical gags and insinuating naughty things. If you watch the second season of the anime, it's even more pronounced, especially between the villains Alois Trancy and his butler Claude Faustus (Alois is a bit older than Ciel, the main character, but he's still definitely sixteen or younger. Also, if I remember correctly, Ciel is thirteen, not eight. I know that doesn't sound much better though!!
) It personally doesn't bother me, especially because that's what the actual mangaka is going for. Count Cain is a much more mature manga though in terms of mood and theme. Also, you may have to forgive Kuroshitsuji its perceived follies if you're into Loveless.
Ritsuka is quite young for Soubi, I think he's around the thirteen age mark too, and Soubi's a creepster in his twenties and totally doesn't care.
I haven't watched Yami No Matsuei in years! I just remember that being the dark ages of dubbing and Hisoka's voice scaring the hell out of me because it was deeper than Tsuzuki's! I also distinctly remembering wanting to throttle Tsuzuki at times. That was the first time I'd ever come across a "Seuke" (He can be a "top" with some characters and is obviously overpowered in a sexual manner by others and comes across as an "uke" but really I remember him coming across as a whiny schizo...maybe I need to rewatch it without judgement here and give it a second chance. It's literally been over ten years since I watched it.) Okay, as for the "Wolves" yaoi, there are two main titles I can think of with that name. I
think you're referring to "Legend Of The Blue Wolves", right? It's an older yaoi? The other one is a manga that I adore by Naono Bohra called "Three Wolves Mountain" which I also recommend quite heartily! Naono Bohra isn't afraid to give older guys a chance and she draws men like men, which is always a plus, and her stories literally range across the genre board.
