Rei is a cheerful, happy-go-lucky worker at an ad agency who loves sweets so much that she has whipped cream for dinner! Conversely, her coworker Kuze is grumpy, temperamental and not the sweets kind of guy. That is, until one night when a kiss mixed with cream forces them both to reconsider their taste for sweets and their taste for each other. It seems that the only kind of dessert with whipped cream on top that Kuze likes... is Rei! Five additional stories, filled with sweet and spicy love and sex, feature a woman with a craving for guys in suits, a love-starved lolita, a hostess with bad taste in men, a woman who consults a fortune-teller about her hunger for love, and a college student with a strange, but sweet, boyfriend.

Women love to love, too...,
By
This review is from: Love For Dessert (Josei) (Luv Luv) (Paperback)
***Warning: This manga is NOT for children, as the plastic wrap and parental advisory sticker implies***
There's this general consensus, status quo, must-be-true conception going around that manga made for and by women must contain overly attractive men engaging in risky sex with each other... usually with a seriously DOM/SUB slant to it. Let me be happy to tell you that it is NOT the case here.... Hana Aoi has put together a series of vignettes about twentysomething women in love... both falling and making. Love for Dessert touches on modes of attraction, motives, insecurities... pretty much everything young lovers wrestle with when just beginning a relationship, both emotional and physical. From the coworkers whose tastes annoy each other just right, to the college tutor who falls for her student, to the hostess who (doesn't really, though maybe that one time) needs saving from her fallen state... each story is a self-contained snapshot of those heady moments of new love. The volume is most certainly a lusty busty, but the love scenes (which are present in every chapter) are nothing worse than you'd find in your typical R-rated romantic drama. That's not to say a parent should ignore the plastic wrap, but folks shouldn't be scared the title is full-blown hentai. The art is most certainly of the women's manga style, with soft lines and overly pretty men, but that's to be expected. As a guy, myself, it put me off a little (what with being annoyed that I'm not the ideal these women are looking for), but I'm not the target audience... and I was still able to enjoy the story without letting it bother me too much. Overall the vignettes were direct, enjoyable, and full of subtle little touches to tug both the heart and the loins for both sexes. I would recommend this title to anyone who loves 'love,' both the emotion and the act, with the reminder caveat that this book is NOT for kids... but isn't porn, either.

fluff and cute,
By badsuki (CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Love For Dessert (Josei) (Luv Luv) (Paperback)
Love for Dessert has several short stories about young, slightly stereotypical women and their love lives. Usually that description would turn me off from reading a book, but what I liked about the girls in these stories is that they all come realize that there's a little bit more to them than just the stereotype.
For example, there's a story about a girl, Yu, who is really attracted to guys in suits, or so she thinks. She comes to discover that, while she finds suits attractive, there is only one man in particular that she wants to see wearing a suit. Yu surprises herself and finds that she is not as shallow as she and everyone else thought. The men in Love for Dessert are all very protective of the girls they care about and totally sweet with it. It's good to see the nice guys get the girl every once in a while. The stories, like the art, are light and fluffy, and though the plots are sometimes a little far-fetched, there is a surprising amount of character development in some of them. Don't take it too seriously and it's a very nice read.

Modern Romance Novels with Pictures! Lol!,
This review is from: Love For Dessert (Josei) (Luv Luv) (Paperback)
What can I say? I'm just a sucker for anything taboo or forbidden, and that includes inter-office romances! The title story is cute and sweet (literally) as it involves two coworkers who happen to have opposite "tastes" in food and everything else (the girl has an extreme sweet tooth and the guy hates sweets) who happen to reach a point of compromise when they fall in love and make out ^_^ I'm sure most of us have, at one point, been guilty of indulging in the sweet nector of romantic cliches and enjoyed it! And I'm sure most of us wouldn't mind indulging again with Love for Dessert. The characters are sweet, the romantic storylines are sweet, and the art style is light and sweet. Even the sex is sweet (to a sugar high level)! Those who are afraid of getting traumatized by hard-core x-rated sex with questionable beings or objects need no fear! The sex in Love for Dessert is just as it says, light and sweet with just enouugh kick in it to give you a little rush ^_^ I'm sure that readers who choose this title will end up with a huge cavity after going through this one!
