Some reviewers complained about "non-con" in this story, but it all depends on your point of view: it seems to me that the masochistic character really enjoyed the whole "non-con" scene, so how can it be "non-con". This book might not deserve the 5-star rating, but seeing how badly it's hit by negative reviews, I had to compensate somehow. But it is called "HENTAI" for a reason (not "Sweet Bishonen" or "Will Love You Forever")., and it delivers what it promises. If you like SM / hardcore yaoi, Midaresomenishi: A Tale of Samurai Love, while being also out of print, is a much better buy and a true classic.
However, it is NOT worth paying anything beyond the cover price for it (~10 USD). Currently, it seems to be out of print, and offered at just ridiculously inflated prices. The Trach / tentacle monster story was very amusing (and perversely hot), though.Overall, I recommend it to ONLY very open-minded readers who like really hardcore (and espcially S&M) yaoi and know what to expect from the hentai yaoi (and who can "survive" something different from Japanase-style mangas or KOSEN). And I'm quite a forgiving / open-minded yaoi reader.
Our character is very much masochistic, though, and falls in love with the coach's son, who's very perverse, to say the least. The sadistic coach's son (very seme-like) unexpectedly turns all uke and quite submissive at certain moments, which I found quite original and erotic.I admit I didn't like the story - and particularly the art - by Laila Reimez AT ALL. Many people definitely came to read this book with very wrong expectations. An interesting thing is also that there is no "pre-set" uke or seme in this story.
I just wish the art was a bit better, though it's still quite "watchable". I really enjoyed the story by Yamila Abraham (though the art is not the greatest): an aspiring soccer student enrolls in an elite soccer team ruled by a complete sadist, who beats him mercilessly (well, he does all other stuff as well :)). Very S&M, very explicit.
It's like the author wanted to put everything into one story just in case she never got another chance to publish something.Wicked - I completely admit to not caring for the art style here. (I wrote this review on October 11, 2005 when Yaoi Hentai 1 first came out. The story and art style are very professional. If you want to pick it up, get it used and you won't feel like you got ripped off.
It's very funny and it's easy to forgive the artist for amateurish style.All in all, I don't think that Yaoi Hentai is worth what Yaoi Press is asking ($12.95 US). I've seen better art online, actually. As anime/manga fans, we all know about tentacle monsters and this story just smashes all tentacle monsters together to make this uber-sex-monster with an attitude. The story is strong and filthy with a nice ending.Trach the Tentacle Monster - A completely goofy, tongue-in-cheek piece.
This is not a lovey-dovey story (or collection, for that matter).Into His World - I did not care for this piece at all. The characters are little too young looking for my tastes. Strangely, that official listing was deleted.).King's Masterpiece - This is the best piece in this volume, hands down. That didn't stop me from liking the piece as a whole though.
The story is jarring and weak. The sex is dirty enough that I seriously got into it. The art is, for lack of a better word, fanart-ish and, while clean, it lacks a certain finesse I've grown accustomed to.
But if you want to know what Yaoi is, read this series it will help you get a grasp of the books and might also guide you down a great reading path. I was very new to novel form Yaoi when I bought the whole series of Yaoi Hentai earlier this year, I must say that I spent the better part of the next month re-read each and every book roughly four to nine times a week. While the cover story for Volume 1 wasn't great it surely wasn't poor either.I won't lie and said all the stories keep me coming back, there are a few I can not stand because they just poof the scene.
I am glad I borrowed this from a friend and did'nt buy it. And the stories were not much better. I couldn't beleive that the art was so bad. Stick figures would have been an improvement.
I ENJOY THE BOOK VERY MUCH AND STORY LINES WERE GOOD ALSO
