This review is from: A Capable Man (Paperback)

Several short stories are in this volume. To start off if you don't like to read about forceful intimacy then this might not be the best manga to read. The story that is told about in the description on the Blu website is one of those stories. Koji is in love with Shingo. Shingo probably has a "guy crush" on his cousin but it's not really love, though Koji thinks it is. Seeing Shingo all blushy over his cousin "makes" Koji force himself on Shingo. It one of those times where the person that got r*ped is this thinking "OMG he r*ped me" then after the fact he's like "Oh I got r*ped but since I like the guy and he's sorry that he r*ped me, I'll still like him and want to hook up with him". There are several more stories. There are several non-explicit graphic scenes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adorable, well-drawn yaoi., November 24, 2008

I love yaoi, and I love well-written, well-drawn, well-characterized oneshots. Now, I've only read the scanlated version of this story, so I've no idea how to rate the officially translated version. I can, however, tell you that this mangaka offers consistently nicely-paced stories, and that this is surely one of my favorite Hinako Takanaga mangas. The plot is cute, the characters very likeable, and the art is very nice to look at. Definitely one every yaoi fan should read.
