I really enjoy these four distinct stories!, March 2, 2012
Stories on love between older men is rare and Yaoi is no exception. So it is a real pleasure to have three stories here featuring love between older guys. The first story is a Western regency romance between an older aristocrat (we never know his age but it is depicted in the artwork and he has a kid) and his young butler. Their love is gently conveyed even as the butler is self conscious of the class distinction and his past. The aristocrat’s wife is quite a character and certainly spice up the plot.
The 2nd story about an abandoned kid growing up in a magical forest inhabited by fey ageless creatures including the North Wind and the guardian of the forest certainly appeals to those of us who like fantasy. I also find this one sad as the kid aged among his ageless friends and guardian (a guy with beard so he is considered an older man, LOL). The 2nd part of the story is heart warming and sappy old me could not help but feel sad too.
The 3rd story is a well done romance between a student and his teacher. What I like about this one is that the story depicts their life together many years later when both teacher and student are well into or past their middle age. The story started off with an annual gathering between ex-teachers and ex-students during the Cherry Blossom festival and from there we have present happening and flashbacks. Just a short story but so effective.
And now finally the last story which is a Yuri! Ha how dare the mangaka right! This short one on blossoming puppy love between two classmates has a nice plot, where one of the girl is pretty manipulative. So who is the seme and uke here ? LOL!
I like this mangaka’s artwork. There is no explicit sex but these stories certainly do not need any as the characters and distinct story lines are interesting and enjoyable by themselves.

I am pleasantly surprised with this one. I thoroughly enjoy the supernatural horror plot with its hint of darkness. There is no smex but it is love as our therapist fell in love with his small client’s uncle. Akio is a haunted character and his past is quite a revelation. There are some panels which are disturbing. The plot moves smoothly and held me till the very end. I like the artwork and Senri, the haunted kid is very cute. Some moments of lightness in the form of Shinichi’s flamboyant friend too. Definitely looking up more from this mangaka as her stories are more original than the usual.
Kazunari is secretly in love with Student Council President Sarasa. During a fight between Sarasa and another student Kazunari rushes to Sarasa’s aid. But something that had remained hidden within Sarasa suddenly and violently emerges. Will Kazunari be strong enough to handle the full might of Sarasa’s love, or will he be forced to seek help from an unlikely source. The answer to all these questions and an additional bonus story are packed into this tale of the hard-core love between highschool boys. When sadistic boys are involved, sometimes love hurts.
