Well, obviously, this doujinshi centers around the mighty Weasley twins, Fred and George. In one story, Fred and George are nekos and are arguing with Percy. Just when Percy seems to have the upper hand, the twins move to the 'big-eyed waterworks' tactic in order to sway Percy. In another story, Fred and George torment Hermione, which annoys Ron to no end. Finally, Fred and George visit Ron in the infirmirary after Ron breaks his leg.

After some gag stories in the beginning, the main story in this doujinshi centers around Sirius and Remus. Remus asks Sirius to come to him to discuss Harry and the problems that he is having with the Dursleys. Not a lot of plot, although Remus' grin throughout the whole thing is a little frightening...
Title: Green Eyes Monster

This one is fairly cute, comprised mostly of gag stories by a decent artist and featuring characters not normally found in Harry Potter doujinshi -- including Prof. Trelawney, Prof. Lockheart, Colin Creevey, and, of course, a quick story featuring Harry and Cho Chang. It also includes an angsty story where Remus shows Harry how to create a patronus, but he is overwhelmed with emotion as his 'happy thoughts' are of the good times of his youth, when Sirius Black was still his best friend.
I think the person who drew this doujinshi must have been a Gundam Wing fan, as Remus looks like an older version of Duo, while Sirius (seen mostly as a young boy in flashbacks) looks like Heero, if he ever managed to grin most wickedly...

Something that has to do with Tom Riddle when he was in school at Hogwarts. Not very great art, despite a fairly cool cover.

Pairings: Severus x Remus, Sirius x Remus
Very short, but absolutely gorgeous art! This stuff rivals the circle Shisinden... In the first story, Severus brings Remus the Wolfsbane potion, only to find Remus lying on the floor. Severus looms over Remus and recalls with jealousy how, in their days of youth, Remus would sleep in Sirius' lap. The second story tells of one of the first pranks played by the Marauders; a story that in the end turns out to be a dream as Remus is asleep on the train to Hogwarts, in the present day.

Not a lot of plot to this one, really. I guess I'd understand it better if I could read Japanese. Or if I were more motivated to sit down and try to decipher it. Well, there's stories of Sirius and Remus in it, and another tale with Harry, Ron, Hermione, Dumbledore, and a bag of jelly beans.

Rating: Normal
Kind-of a boring doujinshi, mostly comprised of gag stories centering around Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Despite their predominance on the cover, Sirius and Remus only make a short, token visit. I don't have much to say about this one except that the art is fairly decent, but it doesn't really go anywhere in terms of plot. Bleh.

This one was a little disappointing, in that while the cover was gorgeous, the inside art wasn't as nice as I thought it'd be. There also isn't much story... Remus and Harry go into town and meet up with Sirius. Harry hugs Sirius. Um. Woo.
