When I saw this book in the store I was drawn to it becuase of its
beautiful luminous cover. The inside was just as lovely. It may not be explicit but that does not detract from it. It has helpful tips
on body types, clothing, eyes and expressions. The two boys who are chapter guides grow up as they progress through the book, a cute idea.
The complete portraits of yaoi couples types are beautiful. Just
enjoy them for what they are lovely portraits. I liked the book
enough to buy two, one to use and one to save. Highly recommended!

i got the sample, and it was very long, and explains perspective, the body, the head, muscles, hair, eyes, clothes etc. In other words, you can learn to draw just from the sample, if your a quick learner, and have some basic previous drawing experience.

It's fine for beginners but the anatomy is horrible and it's not worth buying for the Kindle. The Kindle version has no formatting and is almost impossible to read.

This really isn't a good book for people trying to lean basic anatomy. It tends toward over generalizing and over stylizing before learning basics.

this was really really good! not only is there multiple pages of pure eye-candy in the beginning, beautiful boys and men were though out the whole thing! in the how to draw manga: yaoi edition, there were like two pages of embracing... this book owns so hard. it has really great tips for how to draw the yaoi-style male and even the way a yaoi manga looks. (in comparison to regular ones) i do suggest u wait till u see this one on a cheaper price, cuz unless u r a super yaoi addict fan that wants yaoi everyting or ur going into the yaoi drawing business, this is a complete (but worth it) splurge.

THIS IS A VERY VERY USEFUL BOOK!! i like it sense it gives the adult and young boy body types, something that was lacking in How To's Male Character book. Yamada-sama's art style is beautiful and she gives great references. Even Helpful references for Kissing and Hugging. I Bought it with the How to Couples book but i am using this one a lot more! It's a great reference boy how to draw guys if you don't mind the kissing. It doesn't go into the finer details of lovemaking like How To's couple does. I am wondering whether i should bother buying How To's Yaoi guide now.

I wanted to get :How To Draw Manga Volume 42: Drawing Yaoi (How to Draw Manga) but got this by mistake.

Nothing here unique to yaoi; instead we get sections on how to draw male anatomy and male clothing, a teeny section on how to kiss, guy hairstyles, how to make a comic story, etc.- stuff that's been covered by other, better books. Instead in this book we have a) no sex scenes b) no comics/manga c) no mention of the history or styles of yaoi. It's a collection of drawings of guy characters cuddling up to each other. If the artists's art style doesn't appeal to you, don't buy this book, because there's nothing else worth looking at.

I got this for a friend who is trying to learn how to write mangas. It has been helpful to her.
