If you're still looking, I'd suggest Sakura Gari if you'd like to talk about "darker" yaoi, with such themes as, well, rape, stockholm syndrom, etc. but still very well written, so it could be considered a "must-read" (imo).
Not sure if you'd want to take your presentation there though.

Thanks for the suggestion. I haven't read Sakura Gari yet, though it intrigues me as it was written by such a prominent shoujo mangaka as WATASE Yuu. The main reason I didn't include it was that I only used licensed titles in the "Required Reading" section. Maybe in the future I should do "Unlicensed Gems" or something like that. I'm going to be busy. 😃
I've done the panel, just got back from the con a little bit ago, and 🤢 so tired. When I get my stuff together I'll have to do a report of what made the cut.

I went there and back again. 🤣 I covered Rika the Breeder in the section on MOTONI Modoru - and someone came up after to make sure they got the title right!

I don't know if I'm seconding or thirding or what, but I really recommend Love Stage!!. Might need another exclamation point...anyway, there's. The same author (artist) of the cute shonen-ai Princess Princess, which has also been turned into a cute anime. (ad in process). I've been on a yaoi rampage recently, but another one that I absolutely adore is Little Butterfly. That's all that's come to mind. Hope I helped a little! 😀
"'The lives I've taken will be paid for with my own life.' That's one way to look at it...but it doesn't mean they come back once you die. Lives can also be paid for by the sword; by redeeming yet other lives. That is why 'Hitokiri Battousai' is still alive in the Meiji Era."
