Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru (Uraboku)
Sakurai Yuki is a mysterious boy with a mysterious ability. He was found in the bushes as a baby and adopted by his current family. Because of this, Yuki strives for independence. The last thing he wants is to be a burden to anybody. Furthermore, when he touches others, he can feel their emotions. Unable to control his ability, he often made insensitive blunders in the past. With death threats and his abilities increasing, what will happen when a man claiming to be his older brother appears?

Review:
This was an extremely serious and dramatic one. Yes, it had action, but these were also drawn out in a dramatic way. I found it sort of slow in the sense nothing terribly interesting happens every episode, but it was smooth like this - making the story easy to follow. It was heavy on the whole magic-y and Duras such and so, but it was quite unique and interesting.
The ending wasn't quite conclusive enough in my opinion, it's like the makers didn't know how to end it, so just threw out any old cliche and hoped for the best. Cliche, yes, but it was a final-seeming ending. In other words I don't exactly expect a sequel. At the same time, though, at episode 23 I was thinking there was going to be a sequel; do you see what I mean when I say abrupt?
This is supposedly yaoi - and I guess a minor sense it is - but it more one characters feelings for another. There wasn't any kissing or sex or anything of the sort in here - so I would count it at all as yaoi. Unless you can't stand even the slightest hint homosexuality, this will be fine. And technically it's not homosexuality if you think about it (you'll have to watch it if you want to know what I mean~...)
I did quite enjoy this one, and despite seeming slow at times, I really enjoyed it!
