Piercing Hole
first harada manga i read, and, in my opinion, one of the less dark ones. liked it a lot! REREADING EARLY 2024: oh this was FANTASTIC. both characters are so attractive and alluring; i love their relationship and the meaning piercings bring them. in most yaois i will not even INDULGE the idea of them breaking up but in this one the possibility is too scary not to think of; i cannot imagine what could top that final piercing. wonderful work from harada, as per usual; i legit thought this was taken from a written short story because it was so beautifully written.
Yoru To Asa No Uta
it was.... so fucked up. SO fucked up. at least the ending was okay. REREADINGGGG EARLY 2024: i LOVE THIS MANGA!!! such a twisted dynamic and super hot to read. asaichi is a bitch but he really comes around and it's very sweet. i was screaming into my pillow SO MUCHHH!!!! i adore yoru so much... my king... i hope they're both happy together for the rest of their lives... the worst scene is pretty bad and kind of a surprisingly stark contrast from the rest of the manga, but it didn't take me out of the story much. i don't think the details are too important so i'd likely skip it myself in future rereadings. really glad they didn't go for the lotion + pebbles route, holy shit harada sensei really is the best at creating extremely attractive and toxic relationships. if you know what to expect and understand it's gonna get rough, it's a pretty pleasant time. she's so damn funny, too - i absolutely loved the cheeky comments of the other two band members!!! i do feel bad for people who come across her for the first time though, it's certain to be a shock. i love harada :D

harada, dude. loves fucking up our lives.
Gintama dj - Kabe
aint no way... AINT NO WAYYYYY... yeahhh this one was a bit much to stomach. harada draws expressions so well it's genuinely a little horrifying to see. like there's always a suspension of disbelief you need in yaoi, especially these types, but this one felt a little too real. didn't mind it all that much but don't think i gained anything from reading it. kind of makes me want to watch gintama tho just to see these two's dynamic in the anime. loved the fake-out where you thought gin was gonna come to the guys rescue but just ate cake instead lol. what a piece of shit
