Though I haven't read it yet, I am already delighted by the back cover blurb of the newest Ryuu and Dr series by Kifu Kaname,
Ryu no shakunetsu, Dr. no jouai. Though beautiful internist Hikawa can't imagine life without his sexy younger yakuza boss lover Seiwa, Seiwa's "dark past" menaces Hikawa!! OH NOES!! What will our lovers do???n I hope Seiwa's dark past is sufficiently dark (and the menacing aspect suitably threatening) to satisfy my high expectations. And that there be lots of pretty pics by Nara Chiharu. XD The last book illustrated by Nara Chiharu I tried reading was so boring even her art couldn't save it. That story about the Japanese guy who goes to work for the giant American retailer "Walnes" I
summarized a while back with the pimp-looking uber-romantist lover? The author seems to be cranking out tons of connected books that totally suck. First she wrote two books about the Chinese co-worker from that first book (who was actually the scion of a Hong Kong mafia family) that was moderately boring and lame (thanks mostly to the fact that the uke was lame, so it was impossible to see why the bad-ass mafia dude's heart would've melted). I read the first one and sort of tried to read the second and failed (I mostly skimmed it for the pictures). She also wrote about some Walnes lawyer who gets caught up with some other Hong Kong mafia dude...I don't think I got past the first twenty pages, it was so unappealing. Bleah.
