It's been a while since my last review. Though I'm sure no one really miss these :)
Anyway here is my latest acquired book, a Yamakami-sensei work that has yet never been scanlated (at least not that I know of)
Minoru is a straight guy who worked in an okama bar to support his litter sister and brother. One day he met a gaudy guy in his bar who openly flirted with him right off the bat, Kan. Even though Minoru blocked his advance, the guy waited for him finished work, and hence it started, Kan quickly evaded Minoru life, even managed to win over his sister and brother. And yet, they have never gone past kissing and touching stage. Minoru sensed some dark shadow in Kan past, who was CEO at a company and got his company running from some shady fund. However, Kan refused to tell Minoru about his past and it gradually drew a wedge between them. Thing got worse when a strange guy requested for Minoru at his work place and temped him about Kan's past.Will Minory keep a close eye to protect his happiness...
The book ended at a hanging point. I hope the next volume will come out pretty soon. It also included 2 one-shot about high-school love, one of them quickly become my favourite. I leave it to you to find out about these one-shots since it's impossible review them without spoil the ending.
As most of Yamakami-sensei' work, the drawing is not a strong point of this book, still it's distintive and I love character expression. The story is mature, a bit dark and story telling is top-notch, it keep you on edge and wondering about what happen next
For me, this is a must-buy one for yaoi lover
