Sirius/Lupin (PG - very subtle shounen ai)
This was my first Pessimist Sabbath book, and it's still my favorite. It's just bloody beautiful and I love it. ^^ It opens with the haunting image of Sirius finding James and Lily dead and laughing, then a black page with only the words "It was I who killed James." This sets the scene for the rest of the book, which spans two different periods of Sirius's life, revolving around the guilt he feels over James's death and how Lupin tries to help him past it. It's a familiar story, but Pessimist Sabbath has carried it off beautifully. If you're a Sirius/Lupin person, just go for it. Really. You'll melt into a pathetic puddle of shippiness, guaranteed.

Snape/Lupin (PG - very subtle shounen ai)
In their school days, Lupin is just beginning to forge something like a friendship with Snape, and in one instance, Snape bandages his mysterious wounds when Madame Pomfrey isn't available. But what will happen when Snape finds out how Lupin keeps getting those wounds? And how does Snape feel about it all fifteen years later? (Hint: angsty.) Pessimist Sabbath is consistent in putting out doujinshi with substantial stories and wonderful art, although this one is a little darker than their previous two. You can't very well have a realistic Snape story without making it dark. ^^

James/Sirius (NC17 - hard yaoi)
Well now! Coming straight off of the innocence that was Pessimist Sabbath's earlier books, you aren't likely to expect something like this. Body parts are somewhat invisiblised, but still, not much is left to the imagination.

James/Lily (NC17 - hentai)
This book came as quite a surprise to me; I bought it because it was the first and only time I'd come across a James/Lily hentai doujinshi, and totally missed the fact that one of the artists was Seri Shinozuka of Pessimist Sabbath. I was pretty thrilled when I figured it out, though! This book is a collaboration between Shinozuka-san and another artist, Hiromi Wakana; I hadn't seen her art before, but it's excellent. The whole book is a bit shocking, but then again, it's my first hentai. ^^ In any event, the art is brilliant, and I like that they were original with the pairing.

Shining Moon
Circle: Photosynthesis Station
Artists: Aleosha, Kogefish & Tangel
Language: Chinese
Size: A4
Pages: 50
Since it's in Chinese, I've even less hope of
translating it than usual, but still, this is a
beautifully drawn doujinshi that seems to cover
a lot of ground throughout the story. It does
look like it'd be shounen ai, but it really just
seems to be friendship between Sirius and Lupin,
with appearances from lots of other characters.

As advertised on the cover, it's Sirius/Remus
shounen ai; nothing hard, though Lupin does
get molested a bit while cooking breakfast. ^^
Great art! Harry and Ron make an appearance,
too. RIF's first HP book.

Pretty much a straight-up gag doujinshi,
but the art is fairly detailed and nice-
looking. And maybe I've been playing too much
Hitman, but I like the circle's name. ^^
