Head-Cha-La (doujinshi series)

What are the Head-Cha-La doujin? I've seen them referenced, but never known what they're about.

They are a series of comedy/light shonen-ai books. They focus on the Piccolo/Goku pairing, but also feature other characters, such as Bra, Marron and Trunks, it varies with each volume. Cutely, it also shows that Bra has a crush on Goku. The art is very nice.
I like them a lot, despite only having a few volumes. I highly recommend them.

I'm not a fan of yaoi, so I won't get them. But thanks for telling me what they are. :)

It's shonen-ai, not yaoi. No sex.
You're welcome.

OK. But still, I'm not a fan of shonen-ai or yaoi. But thanks anyway.

No, that's cool, I figured as much.
I just wanted to clarify in case anyone was interested in buying them but thought it was full of porn.

Also, the first few volumes only cover Goku x Piccolo, as later volumes (Head-Cha-La G) features the GT kids.

Considering I'm a big fan of Bra and I absolutely love the artwork in this doujinshi, I've looked for the latter in Japan, but no luck. Guess I'll be buying them from Ebay.

sorry for gravediggin, i just want to ask: Does anyone know about the exact number of volumes that were made originaly back in the 90s of this Doujinshi series?
I know about the Reprint values (http://www.head-cha-la-hompo.jp/english-top.html) but they only go up to 0 - 8, but i have more volumes of the old prints ... so i want to know, did i have a complete run, or am i missing some issue :) Thanks in advance!
