Love Circumstances (Yaoi Manga) [Kindle Edition]

Aco Oumi (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Somehow, over the summer, Yamaguchi ended up going out with his best friend, Takagiri. But now that they're together, something's really been bothering Yamaguchi; why does Takagiri love him so much? Is it his shaggy hair that begs to be petted? His often stubborn personality? Or the way he blushes when lavished with Takagiri's umm...affection?!

In any event, Yamaguchi's insecurities are really putting a strain on their relationship. Seems like he's pretty nervous about fulfilling Takagiri's more carnal needs when his mind is pre-occupied with other things. While Takagiri would like nothing more than to drag Yamaguchi to the nearest closet and have his way with him, it seems like our seme is going to need a little bit of help to calm his nervous little uke.

Aco Oumi's Love Circumstances is a delightful romp about the trials of young love. Will Takagiri be able to convince Yamaguchi that he loves everything about him? Or at least distract him long enough to get him into bed?

This review is from: Love Circumstances (Yaoi) (Paperback)

Product quality is one of the best in the US market, so there are no complaints there, 801-media has offered a beautiful product to the consumer once again.
The story is cute and super sweet, as the uke worries about his manliness, he refuses his boyfriend's (and best friend) advances. It is ultimately a tale of moving past friends to lovers and all the awkwardness that ensues, while coming to terms with the roles played in a relationship with two males.
If not the best BL title out there, it is worth having just because of the beautiful art (particularly the hot seme) and nice, slow paced story. It's a keeper in my BL collection

This review is from: Love Circumstances (Yaoi) (Paperback)

OK so this series is very cuties and I would recommend this for people newer to yaoi. It has a very cute story line that takes place between 4 friends equals 2 couples FYI. An yes it dose have your typical fell of boy accepting loving a boy story and going to others for advice...Don't want to tell to much but that is a short jiff of it. I for one have sort of moved past the kiddy love stores so I was a little bored with this one waiting for things to move on but I have read a lot of yaoi and tend to prefer the ones that get to the point if you know what I mean. But in all fairness I do think it was worth buying and is one I would read more than once.

4.0 out of 5 stars Addtl Shorts and Artwork Make This One a Keeper, January 6, 2010

This review is from: Love Circumstances (Yaoi) (Paperback)

I finally broke down and bought this book after reading favorable reviews (here and on other sites), only to be slightly disappointed. This book contains 9 short stories and the first 5 are about best friends turned lovers, Yamaguchi and Takagari. For as much as I liked the Takagari character I found Yamaguchi very annoying. I give these a total rating of 3. Note: Apparenty these are a sequel (haven't found the prequel released in english in US), maybe I would appreciate their story more if I were able to read the prequel.

I like the characters in the 4 additional shorts a lot more.

I found 3 of the additional shorts; A Giving Man, The Pure Love Wolf, and The Wolf Next Door; to be funny and sexy! Whereas the last short, Love and Work (which I also like) is a little more serious and more about emotions and being able to connect with that special person. I give these a total rating of 4.

This mangaka's artwork is absolutely beautiful, even if her male charcters tend to look similar from story to story.

Good publishing job from 801 Media.
