We're starting off JanuYaoi proper for our 5th Year of installments and this one seems fit for the times! As a military cyborg is stationed on a peaceful research facility and happens upon a very adorable, very..."open-minded" Botanist, alongside a colorful cast of characters all too ready to set these two up! T
he creativity and wholesomeness of this first entry is through the stratosphere!
Thank you for watching with me and for all the support!

Thank you so much! Itโs such a great start to JanuYaoi! Iโm so glad yโall enjoyed the intro! It was fun to make! Eddie is super fun as a character - I love all the cyborgs in this, especially Rena! Side story for Rena, PLEASE! Mannn, right?! This went along with Wind Breaker this week WELL! ๐ Had to give Hawk the accent and man, all the innuendo with theโฆmechanics of it all; the mangaka was really clever with it in this! And yes, it reminds me of Zariya Ranmaruโs โLiquor and Cigarettesโ where one of the friends gets the couple a โฆ. Gift as well! ;) Hawk is the best wingcyborg, though! This was a great volume! A nice one-shot to start us off! We have some fun ahead of us! Thank you for the comment!

I honestly would LOVE to read more about Ethan and his life as a cyborg, and yes, Rena is such a fun side character - more of her, please! And thank you โ I love how this story approaches romance for those society has dehumanized for various reasons and that they can find love and it is so good to see, yes! Iโm glad that it was a great discovery and you enjoyed it as well! Thanks for the comment!

What a great start to another Januyaoi! ๐ฅฐ Various things I loved: The intro killed me ๐คฃ Eddie was super cute with the various patterned shirts. And just in general the amount of personality all the different cyborgs had through their clothing and faces. Rena can protect me anytime โ please and thank you ๐ฅฐ Also, this was hilarious to watch right after the WB ep 11 reaction ๐ Loved Hawk getting an accent โI bet them palms are gonna be real springyโ ๐ โEveryone pitched in to get you oneโ ๐คฃ - true friends Agreed, Hawk is absolutely the best! This was a beautiful little volume! ๐ฅฐ Cannot wait for the next entry! ๐

2026-01-04 11:53:05 +0000 UTCThis was a fun read. I would not have minded more of it, perhaps exploring Ethan's past or the societal implications of using cyborgs to fight wars. (I would read a whole spinoff about Rena in a heartbeat!) I like the point you made about the romance being representative of how people who have felt dehumanized by society (either through modifications to their body or through fighting in a war) can find love. It's a hopeful view of the future that I love to see in fiction. Thanks for the video and the introduction to something I would not have discovered otherwise!
