5.0 out of 5 stars
A great read!
The story revolves around Tadashi and Aki, two models who belong to the same agency. The story is from the point of view of the easy-going and slightly older Tadashi, who is starting to have difficulty finding jobs. Aki, on the other hand, is a successful younger model on the rise, who has always looked up to Tadashi. Not a lot happens plot-wise; we just follow...

Could have been better
I was not too impressed with this soft Yaoi. The main love story between 2 male models has a good setting and beginning but turn up rather ordinary mid-way. There could have been more angst in their romance. Afterall, Tadashi who is the once popular and older model, is now on a career downhill. On the other hand the younger Aki is now the top model.

There could have been more angst in their romance. Afterall, Tadashi who is the once popular and older model, is now on a career downhill. On the other hand the younger Aki is now the top model. Surely this should have created more tension in their relationship as Tadashi tries desperately to catch up. Also I find certain parts disjointed. Maybe it is the translation. Again the second short story between a photographer and a part time young model has a nice set up but fails to take off. The 3rd story of a guy mourning for his dead lover and finding love with said lover's brother is a nice one and I wish this is longer to give it more depth. The artwork is nice, the boys pretty. Too bad the plot is somewhat lacking.

The story revolves around Tadashi and Aki, two models who belong to the same agency. The story is from the point of view of the easy-going and slightly older Tadashi, who is starting to have difficulty finding jobs. Aki, on the other hand, is a successful younger model on the rise, who has always looked up to Tadashi.Not a lot happens plot-wise; we just follow Tadashi and Aki's developing relationship and watch as Tadashi deals with his feelings towards his career. The tone is pretty light-hearted, which makes this an easy, entertaining read. There isn't really anything completely explicit but there are plenty of hot scenes. (This volume also includes two short stories, which are also pretty good.) I'm a big fan of Shouko Hidaka's work. Her artwork is beautiful and her characters and stories are always well developed and have a lot of depth. If you haven't read her work before I definitely recommend it! Overall, something about this manga just really works- I really love it anyway! If you're looking for a sweet, light-hearted read, pick this up! |
