Review
Yay! The series finale for the book featuring some of the most dysfunctional people in BL manga has arrived, and it didn t disappoint. Now that Tetsuo is fully functional again, thanks to Momoyama, he can t keep thoughts of Tama out of his head. So what if his son is in love with Tama? Tetsuo has it bad for the kid, and he just can t get over his infatuation for his son s best friend. How is Haruka going to react when he learns that his rival for Tama s affections is his own father?

After accepting the fact that he s no longer attracted to women, Tetsuo is plagued by wet dreams starring Tama. When Tama catches him in the act of a little self-fulfillment, Tetsuo can t hold back any longer, and the two are soon entwined in a passionate embrace - which Haruka walks in on. Doh! As if relations between the father and son weren t rocky enough already! Now dad s gone and stolen the guy he loves right out from under him.

I felt sorry for Haruka, because this kid is carrying around a lot of baggage. He believes that he s the product of a loveless affair, and that loving someone else will give some purpose to his life. Never mind that Tama has never given any indication that he s even remotely attracted to his friend. Haruka was someone who is so caught up in his own feelings that he doesn t have a thought to spare about anybody else s. Poor kid! Thank goodness he has that hot Kazama to offer up a shoulder to cry on.

The change in Tetsuo once he s discovered love was a surprise to several people that he knows. Noguchi s reaction was the best, as his assistant almost collapses in a fit of shock when Tetsuo gives him his pay, and it s more than he was expecting. Tetsuo s even a little contrite about how he treated Momoyama. And he is beside himself when Haruka runs off - never thought that day would come.

The swift pacing kept me glued to this book, and I didn t put it down until I reached the last page. It remained funny and frenzied all the way to the end, with eye-pleasing art and extremely attractive character designs. I m sorry that this title has come to an end. --Julie - Manga Maniac Cafe

Product Description
One crazy climax!

After having sex with Momoyama, Tetsuo has pretty much come face-to-face with the fact that straight sex just doesn't do it for him anymore. To make matters worse, as soon as he realizes this, he is besieged by constant wet dreams involving the boy that his gay son Haruka has a major crush on. What is Tetsuo to do?! How is he to confront Haruka (who loves the star of his wet dreams), his best friend Enomoto (who declared his love for Tetsuo), and Momoyama (his lovestruck sex partner)?! Find out in this passionate conclusion!

Yaoi has never been funnier or more erotic!

5.0 out of 5 stars erotic license, October 31, 2008

By	lux "re8" (St. Louis, MO USA) - See all my reviews

"What do you think of underage boys?" Do recent developments in his life have Tetsuo considering giving up straight hentai work for shota? His assistant's response to Tetsuo's query is not encouraging. Some readers of Kiss All the Boys' final installment may feel the same way, given Tama's and Haruka's pairings with much older men...Myself, I have no problem with the consensual relationships and happy endings depicted therein (good for you, Michiro - Tetsuo didn't deserve you anyway!). A short second story, "Summer Accomplices" appears to be an early work with less style and substance, despite the revelation of an even more disturbing relationship. All in all, however, my esteem for the products of Ms. Kano's deliciously filthy imagination keeps growing and I eagerly await more licensed licentiousness!

4.0 out of 5 stars A fitting end to an interesting series..., December 4, 2008

By	The Yaoi Review - See all my reviews

Kiss All The Boys Volume 3 - Manga - Shiuko Kano

Volume 3 is the final volume in the Kiss All The Boys series and brings this story to an interesting conclusion. So by now we know all the craziness of this plot. We have poor virgin Tamaki whose best friend, Haruka AND Haruka's father Tetsuo are lusting after him. Then there are our losers in love, Michiro and Momoyama who are both lusting after Tetsuo (who is lusting after Tamaki) and last but not least is Kippei who is lusting after Haruka (who is lusting after Tamaki). Got it? *sigh* So exhausting this plot. Oh, and Haruka and Tamaki are both only 15-years-old while the rest are in their 30's. Shota anyone?

So, that all being said, volume 2 ended with Tetsuo being kissed by Tamaki and realizing that his little soldier is standing at attention (keep in mind he's been battling impotency for 2 years) In this final volume, Tetsuo has to come to terms with his true feelings for Tamaki and what this means for all those affected by this, specifically his son who also loves Tamaki, his best friend who professed his love for him, and his next door neighbor Momoyama who he has used and abused throughout volumes one and two. To add to the pressure, Haruka's mother Izumi has come back to town stating she wants to bring Haruka back to Paris with her. Will Tetsuo finally face how he really feels about his son or will he steal his love interest and send him packing? You may be surprised by his final decision.

This has been an odd duck through all three volumes so I think the ending is fitting to the story. The humor in volume three did not disappoint (the reference to "Heidi" had me in stitches as did a lot of other great one liners). I'm not sure I agree with Tetsuo's reasoning for why he's into Tamaki and there are a few things Tamaki says in this volume that sort of creep me out (i.e. Am I an adult now?). The sex doesn't disappoint (two masturbations scenes, one alone and one with a partner, and one full sex scene). The speech bubbles still presented some issues but not as bad as volume two and the illustrations and character design were as good as the past volumes. All this being considered, if you're already this far into the series it is definitely worth getting the last volume.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shiuko Kano's boys are pure delight! , November 11, 2008

By	R.Parklane (Tokyo, Japan) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

The problem with series is you have to wait in between but I was willling to wait this one out since Deux is pretty fast. I am gald I did. I have a really wonderful time finishing this 3 volumes in the same day.

The story flows seamlessly, the faced paced plot light hearted with angsy moments and all the characters very likable and delightful. The story revolves around one het-erotic manga artist, Tetsuo, suffering from impotency. Imagine his total confusion when he can "get-it-up" again with the same sex. Not helping is his estrangled and self acknowledged gay son Haruka who has a very low opinion of his father. In the beginning Tetsuo is not a very likable character as he seems irresponsible and takes advantage of those around him notably one very kind hearted neighbour and his ex-brother-in-law. But my opinion soon changes as the story progresses. 6 guys here as they struggle with unrequited love. Of course they all pair up by the end and the path to get there is wonderfully written and filled with so much fun and some angsy moments. Maybe it is not the pairing I would have preferred but on the other hand maybe it is :) And I enjoy the explosive father-son relationship between Tetsuo and Haruka.

Who are my favorite characters ? I have to say it is the "so cool" uncle Michiro, the effervescent Haruka and the kind-hearted Momoyama.

Love Shiuko Kano's boys and her artwork is a pure delight and so is the sex!
