Just a little more time

(Entry crossposted from my main sunny side up anime blog)

Starting fall 2008, Digital Manga will release five new yaoi novels under its Juné imprint: Passion - Forbidden Lovers by Shinobu Gotoh and Shoko Takaku, The Guilty by Katsura Izumi and Hinako Takanaga, All You Need is Love by Jinko Fuyuno and Noboru Takatsuki (streets 21 October 2008); Dark Walker by Hikaru Yura and Hirotaka Kisaragi (18 November 2008); and Secret Moon by Siira Gou and Sato Tomoe (2 December 2008).

Droolicious, yaoi fangirlitis-inducing lot, most especially this—

Akihiro Tomoe has been living a lie for decades. A vampire, he has been able to hide his identity and somehow insinuate himself into typical town life. However, this peaceful and somewhat dull life is about to change. One night, he stumbles across a man called Taichi Yamagami. Attracted to the pure but wild Taichi and meaning to cut it off after one night, Akihiro seizes Taichi’s body. But one night of passion isn’t enough to satisfy Akihiro and he finds himself seeking out Taichi again and again. However, Taichi seems to have a few secrets of his own. Whenever the moon shines from the night sky onto the gentle Taichi, his personality transforms…

That refers to the plot of Secret Moon by Siira Gou and Sato Tomoe. More yaoi goodness from the press release sent to Japanator (where I first posted this news bit) follow.
