Starting off with Durarara!! Which aired January 7th of this year.

From the creators of Baccano! Comes a new confusing storyline, in modern day Ikebukuro where a Dullahan or Unseelie Fairie, aka a headless horseman, works as a underground courier while in search of her head. Now first off your thinking why the fuck is a horseman, a female horseman riding around in Japan? Well Celty Surlston is a modern day horseman whose horse has turned into a black motorcycle with no headlights. But this story is not all about her but also about an online anon (much like 4chan) gang called ‘Dollars’, and the chaotic people that hang around the city.

Now I was quite skeptical about sitting down and watching this madness but after watching the first episode and having read half the manga online I was in soo deep. But much like Baccano! you should watch the anime rather than read the manga.  The music in this series for those who love music, the opening is by a band called Theater Brook and the song is called ‘Uragiri no Yuuyake’. The ending sequence is by Yuya Matsushita and the song is called ‘Trust Me’.

Kuroshitsuji II airs either in June or July.

Now although the fanbase for Kuroshitsuji the original is in an uproar, I’m ACTUALLY excited to see this because my fabulous character, Grell Sutcliff, will be making his appearance in the series as from what I gather from the scans. I’m in love with the new cast especially Claude Faustas (Sorry sebas-chan but your voice is not as great as his.) who is voiced by Takahiro Sakurai who was the voice of the Medicine Seller from Akayashi and Mononoke. Voicing the Master of the series, Alouis Trancy, is Nana Mizuki whose notable roles are such as Hinata Hyuuga from Naruto and Wrath, and Len Fan from Fullmetal Alchemist. Although I at first thought that Claude sounded somewhat familiar to that of Sebastian, but it was his voice that was throwing me for the confusion because I have watched Mononoke… ALOT! Despite the confusion from Claude, I was absolutely sure that Alouis was not Ciel. Why? Because being a Hinata fan, and loving Wrath to pieces I just could tell.

Setting, I’m getting a feeling we are  in France because of the Rocco, and because they mostly address their courts as majesty. Thus ‘Yes your Majesty’. I HAATE Spiders, btw, this trailer cannot spare a moment without showing that gross spider!! But I do love the new maid design, and the triplets! (mmm… Triplets.)

Here is the trailer for Kuroshitsuji II

Recently Announced!

Togainu No Chi a popular BL Game in Japan, turned manga and now an anime. I’ve only read the first 4 volumes of the manga itself. I’ve never played the game, but I have seen screens from the game and I have to say… it’s quite awesome. The basic plot line of the manga, which I assume will be like the anime but… who knows if we will get that BL fanservice we deserve. Now I do know that from the trailer they have confirmed that there will be street fighting to try to appeal to male viewers and drag those who are not a fan of BL. Now I’m sure this won’t be released until winter or maybe late summer/early fall.

I started off by doing the second hardest part of the entire costume, the apron its self. I am not working from a pattern I pretty much drafted and came up with this idea out of my head, although there are a few things I regret but Iwill talk about that later. Pretty much I started with a 39 inch blue waistband, and a skirt about the diameter of 27 at the widest point, and a 9 inch diameter at the smallest length. Laying out the 39 inch blue waist band I stuffed the center with the bottom of the apron it’s self, folded the blue fabric pinning together either side of the blue waist band, and the top of the apron making sure it was as close as possible to the center. Carefully sewing the tube I made sure to watch that I didn’t have any fabric fold or get caught under the needle. Luckily I didn’t screw up on that. I then prepared the extra long ties, making it hard for myself I sewed them awkwardly to the blue waistband, after sewing oneside almost shut, I pulled that side of the tube to the otherside along with some of the white apron, sewing the other side with the other side open I gently pulled the apron and other tie through the hole. After doing so I ironed out the wrinkles and heat and bonded the ends of the ties shut in a folded like way, sealing them shut I finished for the day by hanging it up.

The fun part was estimating that I might need 3 yards of folded white fabric, I was wrong, I ended up having to add at least two more yards. I then proceeded to pin on the fabric, folding it every once in awhile to give it that somewhat ruffled look.

After pinning the sucker down I used a zigzag stitch to attach it to the skirt, backstitching over every gather. Once finished I began digging in my closet to find that I did indeed have the style of shoe that she wears.

Because life happens every second, I did have to stop doing it and thus is why its taken me at least 3 days to finish the apron. I just have to put the stripes onto the waistband, I have yet to decide that I want painted on or heat n bonded the stripes.

Yumichika sat in front of a mirror wiping off the stains upon his beautiful skin, his eyebrow ornaments lying upon the table soaking in cleaner removing the blood. Once satisfied he was clean, he began brushing his hair.

“Trying to get pretty in the dark?” the setting sun’s last light entered the room.

“Don’t mock me, Ikkaku… I know you wouldn’t understand how much hard work this requires to be beautiful but it does.” Yumichika snapped as Ikkaku lit a lamp slightly brightening the room.

“You’re tired, that’s the only reason you’re so grumpy, and you’re beautiful just the way you are.”

Ikkaku sat at the table shaking the sake bottles on the table in search of remaining sake as Yumichika finished his 100 brushes on his hair, and removed the ornaments from the cleaner, placing them out to dry.

“Oi, do we not have any sake left in here?” Ikkaku asked looking under the table.

“Check in the closet… behind the futons…”

Yumichika proceeded to change into a lavender yukata, with small purple flowers at the wrist of the sleeves and at the base of the yukata, tying the obi loosely around his waist he sat down over at the table placing the empty bottles upon the floor.

“Did you ban Maki from our room again?” Ikkaku said placing the bottles and two cups upon the table.

“Yes I did he keeps destroying my things! Always tripping everywhere he’s like the plague! Uglying my things!” Yumichika said taking an empty cup he poured the liquid into the cup passing it to Ikkaku. He sighed as he poured the warm sake into his own cup looking at the perky man, in the frilly looking yukata.

“Why do you wear that thing… its soo girly. People already think you’re a woman why push it?” Ikkaku asked questionably pointing at him.

“Because you know it makes me pretty and because I am gay as are you, remember that!” Yumichika said as they heard a couple of drunks outside the door.

“You break that door and I’ll make sure you can’t drink ever again!” Yumichika yelled, hearing the group of drunks fall off the porch.

“I’m going to set up the futons … so we have somewhere to sleep.”

Yumichika stood pulling the futons and blankets and pillows into the empty space between the table and the dressing table. As he was placing the pillows onto the futon he felt strong arms wrap around his waist, a tongue tracing his ear. Yumichika lay upon the futon turning under Ikkaku so he now faced him, his arms wrapping around the bald man’s neck.

“Do you want to play strip and drink poker or just strip down, drink and lay in each other’s arms till we fall asleep?” Ikkaku asked kissing the smaller man under him.

“I like the second idea…” Yumichika said removing his obi along with Ikkaku’s obi.

Ikkaku removed his hakama as Yumichika dropped his yukata off his shoulders. Setting the many pillows against the table, Yumichika laid upon the cushions, Ikkaku joining him shortly. Ikkaku pulled a cup and the bottle of sake closer to them pouring sake into one cup. Ikkaku placed the rim of the cup to his lips drinking it, leaning over he kissed Yumichika who opened his mouth receiving sake and Ikkaku’s tongue.

He swallowed the warm liquid and proceeded to kiss Ikkaku, “Why do those idiots think you and I don’t have any feelings for each other.” Ikkaku asked pulling away from the other.

“Because you and I don’t act lovey dovey… I mean they went so far as to making us stay in the same room and making you give away yours… I liked that small room…” Yumichika purred nipping at Ikkaku’s neck.

“Yumi, you just liked the fact that all you had to do was be placed up against the wall and let me do all the work.” Ikkaku said before sipping some sake.

“So how eventful was your day with Yachiru??” Ikkaku asked questionably looking down at the smaller man.

“Very eventful since we had to bring that thing with us…tripping over the smallest of things… and wouldn’t get out of my way so I could fight the hollow.” Yumichika said snorting.

“Oi! If you’re going to spy on us don’t make it so obvious!” Ikkaku said yelling at the door as Yumichika pulled a blanket to cover them.

“Aw and we were hoping you two could entertain us tonight” said Matsumoto as she opened the door, Kira and Hisage behind her.

“Renji’s probably getting ready to jump into Byakuya – Taichou’s bed so why not go sneak into there!” Ikkaku said giving them a pissed off look.

“Byakuya – Taichou found us! Hitsuyaga – Taichou won’t allow us to drink in his office anymore…” Matsumoto whined, both Ikkaku and Yumichika eyes rolled.

“Then go join Yachiru she would be much more exciting than Ikkaku and I.” Yumichika said a tone of anger in his voice.

Unfortunately the three did not understand what Ikkaku and Yumichika were trying to get across and just sat and began to drink away.

“Kira-kun pass the sake over here!” Matsumoto said reclining on the door. “Idiots out!”

Ikkaku stood not caring if he was in the nude yelling the three out of his room. Matsumoto, Kira and Hisage just stared, as Matsumoto slowly closed the door. Yumichika laughed covering his mouth as Ikkaku laid back down on the futon.

“You think this is funny, hm?” Ikkaku’s hand ghosted over Yumichika’s waist and upper thigh and drifted over the paler man’s length, causing him to release a slight moan.

“Ikkaku… I have to work… morning… because… no one will…” Yumichika said trying to remove the hand from his length.

“We are supposed to have more fun playing then working… that’s the squad’s motto.” Ikkaku said brushing the hands away continuing to play with the other.

“I don’t think this is what they meant by play!” Yumichika squealed jumping under the other man’s hands as lips covered his own. In a passionate kiss Ikkaku rolled Yumichika onto his back, running his hands up the slightly paler skinned mans sides.

“Mmn…” Escaped the pale lips as calloused hands began to stroke the fully erected length, “Ikkaku please… I need to sleep…” the raven haired man managed to get out between gasps.

“Who needs sleep…?” Ikkaku stated as his lips traveled down his lovers’ neck and chest, kissing the head of the other’s length.

“I do… I won’t be pretty… if you don’t let me sleep…”

“You’re pretty no matter what.”

“‘Kaku…” Yumichika said as Ikkaku’s tongue licked up the raven’s length.

Ikkaku smirks sensing his raven beauty had given in to his desires, taking the pale length into his mouth, and began teasing the squirming male with his tongue. Yumichika bit his finger as the bald man licked up the vein in his member. He felt a finger begin to tease his puckered hole it entered and began thrusting in and out of the tight hole.

“Ka -ku…” he whimpered as another calloused finger entered his small hole the fingers brushing up against raven’s spot.

As the teasing continued the raven thrust his hips causing the stronger man to hold down his hips with the unoccupied hand. The fingers brushed once more against Yumichika’s prostate.

“Ikkaku!” he moaned out loudly as he came.

Ikkaku sat up between the pale legs as Yumichika fell backwards on to the futon staring up at the bald man. Leaning down for a kiss, Ikkaku took the pale lips with his own staring in to lavender eyes. Tongues battled for dominance as their kiss deepened, Yumichika’s arms wrapped under Ikkaku’s.

“Hm… you ready?” Ikkaku said staring in to lavender.

The raven nodded as he felt something begin to push in to him, his eyes rolled up as a wave of pleasure shot through him. Ikkaku only grunted feeling Yumichika adjust around him. Once inside he paused waiting for the smaller man’s cue. Receiving a small nod and a pair of lips kissing him, Ikkaku began to thrust in and out of the smaller, beautiful man.

Calloused hands rested on either side of Yumichika’s head, careful of the dark hair that was laid out on either side of his head. Pale delicate hands dug their nails into the tan, scarred back.

“kaku… ah!”

“Yeah.” Ikkaku grunted.

“I …love you… a lot…” Yumichika groaned out as his legs wrapped tightly around the tanned hips.

“As I do I…”

He continued to thrust in to the pale tight hole, hitting the small knot of nerves within the lithe form before him. Ikkaku watched as his lovers face twisted with pleasure, the lavender eyes stared up at him momentarily; he smiled as his lips were captured once again by the larger man’s.

Ikkaku slammed into Yumichika causing the raven to come with the tanned warrior. The pale body arched against the tanned one. Their bodies crashed to the floor, Ikkaku rolling to his side pulling the raven to his chest.

“I love you…Yumi…”
“I love you too… Kaku…”
