problem. Tohru loves how attractive Minazuki looks in his glasses, but
his teacher always takes them off when they kiss! Does he not want to
see Tohru up close? And why is he kissing a girl with his glasses on?
This title also features the continuing adventures of Hiiragi and Asagi,
the ninja duo from Shinobu Kokoro.
Review:
I’ve never been a
huge fan of yaoi. Not because I have any problem with it, just because I’m
straight and so I tend to read more straight-couple stories. Lately, though,
I’ve started reading more yaoi, and wanting to read more yaoi, so I might be
picking up more in the future. I picked up this one mostly by chance.
It contains several
very short stories featuring hierarchical relationships, most of them including
a teacher. I’m not going to go into detail about any of them, because it’s
really not worth it. I mean, the book is roughly a hundred-sixty pages, and there
are six stories and two even smaller bonus stories. A couple focus on a
teacher/student relationship, one has two teachers, one has two students, one
has a hidden royalty figure and teacher, and one has a royalty figure and his
guard. And several of them are very
short, and the only reason most of them didn’t feel rushed was because the
attraction started before the story did.
I did enjoy the
stories. They were shorter than I thought they would be, and I didn’t really
form any connection with any of the characters, but I still liked the stories
overall. The plotlines were interesting, the attraction was mostly done well,
and the sex was nice. The artwork was nice, at least for the most part.
I don’t really have a lot to say about this, other
than it was a good read, very short, and with not a whole lot of depth.
