Description
From Acme:
Dame BL is "a collection of BL oneshots written by some of the lesser-known participants in the genre (and some you may be familiar with already), with a focus on less conventional settings and characters. We're very far away from high school here, which hopefully you'll agree makes a pleasant change of pace."

If there's one thing I can compliment all the stories on, it's the art — it's always clean and a pleasure to look at. The writing, however...well, it's very inconsistent, and not just because each story is done by a different mangaka. Some are simply better structured and more entertaining than others.
The "must read" tier:
* Be Here to Love Me - fun, funny, sexy, with some unexpected discussion of gender.
* Natsu no Saigo ni Yosete - I have a soft spot for stories about couples that have been together for decades. Simple and effective.
* !LOCAS! - SUCH a fun story and cast, loved the twists and the humor (and Tiffany, ofc).
The "depends on taste" tier:
* Khaa Thoong - awesome art, though I was confusing the two men half the time because they look very similar (hint: Faa Rong has a scar over his left eyebrow). BUT I do recommend it, if solely for the art.
* Through the Darkness - Nazisploitation without much substance otherwise.
* Ima Doushiteru - very cute story, but not everyone may like the "playful" teasing about Kana's weight.
The "kinda neat, kinda forgettable" tier:
* Tonari wa Nani wo Suru Hito zo - a moody, surrealist story about loneliness. Becomes a bit too melodramatic at times, and the panels with no speech bubbles are more interesting.
* Andorobo - neat premise, good for a read but I don't see myself revisiting it. "Huh" sums it up.
* It Must Be - the two men barely interact with each other, and I really don't see what's BL about it.
The "started out good but lost the plot" tier:
* Kou no Kawa - there are some promising ideas in there but their resolution is rushed.
* Muhou no Shounen - started out fun, but the dark turn at the end spoiled some of it.

I've read most of these (some I can't seem to find), and a lot of them are just bad.
Only 3 were really worth reading, in my estimation. The first one is funny and weird, I really enjoyed it and would give it a 7.5 as a oneshot. Number 4 was really beautiful and emotional, I'd give it an 8. Then 11 was one of my personal "kinks"--a story with a fat love interest, so it gets a 9 for me.
None of the others are really worth reading (certainly never worth re-reading). But if you came here for one of the tags on those stories, I'd give them a look.

Im not a bl fan for long, but i did read a bunch of stuff already. Anyway this was really something very different from what i usually read. There were about 2 one-shots i actually liked and 2 that were good, but mostly i didnt like the others. By reading them i sometimes thought if they were actually bl. Some seemed really weird and twisted. But i liked the column parts~ funny mangaka's and their ideas.

It's hard to rate an anthology at all, but especially one this big and this varied. But in the end, there were a few stories I loved and the rest I flat out didn't care for.
Really, though, it's a 10/10 for the idea. An anthology showcasing lesser-known BL artists and unique themes is a breath of fresh air after a run of cookie-cutter yaoi manga, even if a lot of the stories didn't cut it for me.
Overall, it's worth reading for the few gems like stories #1 and #5. It's an anthology with a large range of stories, so there's bound to be something for everyone.

The columns are funny and cute and I liked Yoneda Kou's one the best. What Psychedelico said was interesting too.
It's different from traditional BL with the cliches and big-seme plus little-uke having sex after a flat plot, and maybe It's that why some people can't stand fushoji and their desire for boyXboy relationship. For me, BL is a world of alternatives, combinations and new things that make us excited for more, and this collection show it. Even if it's experimental, It's still BL anyway.

I'm really in love with this anthology. I love how all stories are so atypical compared to many other BL I've read, and it's also a great starting point to identify some really good BL authors as well. An interesting point I noticed was the particularly wide range of BL; some stories are like heavy bara and explicit while others were mild shounen ai. I liked stories 1, 4 and 8 particularly. My absolute favourite would have to be 8 solely though; it's a bit abstract, bittersweet, and the tone change surrounding the twist has just been amazingly done. It's probably my favourite BL one shot ever.
(If anyone knows anything similar in style to story 8, please PM me.)
Anyway, I think this is worth reading if you're looking for some more niche, atypical sort of BL; although the stories are all short, it does allow you to identify some really amazing mangakas.

I didn't like most of the one-shots. Some of them were just "meh", others, though original, gave me nothing. The only one I recommend is number 4, Natsu no Saigo ni Yosete (UMEMATSU Machie).
Oh, and also. Number 2, Kou no Kawa (MOROZUMI Sumitomo), was particularly horrible and nonsense.

This sure was one of the stranger mangas I've read once in a while, and it's surprisingly engaging as well. The first a.k.a cover story is probably my favourite of the bunch, but honestly all the stories are entertaining in their own certain ways. And what's even better is us readers being able to read the mangaka's thoughts and feelings, however brief they might be. I cracked up so much while reading some of the mangakas' confessions, they sure are funny people. At some point I was like 'This is so stupid and weird it's funny', I sure had a good laugh, haha. Hopefully we'll continue to get even more great stuff from them in the future.

Very interesting read. I don't think many of the stories stood out to me as independently amazing, but overall the collection was absolutely worth reading. In a way it is an artistic experiment in manga and I found it pretty fascinating.
