Enjoy all 4 stories in this collection and this mangaka's graceful artwork is simply gorgeous.

The first story of the same title leaves me warm and fuzzy, eventhough the 2 boys do nothing obvious other than hugging, cuddling and kissing (and they do it very well! grin...)
The second story, "A letter in the attic" is my favorite. This tender and touching short story brought a tear to my eyes with its unexpected sadness.
The third story on the love between a human (a boy with long hair but he does not look feminine) and an angel is unique and her beautiful drawings of the angels with their wings is something to behold.
The last story is comically sweet.

This is a wonderful collection of shounen-ai stories. Do not miss this even if you are just into Yaoi.

I had never heard of this author before (whom, it seems, writes under several names) but I fell in love with this anthology of short stories and am now a huge fan. The artwork is gorgeous and the storytelling wonderful.
This manga is not, as the cover implies, yaoi. It is Shounen-ai, with only a few kisses,but shounen-ai at it's best. The first story is about two friends who fall in love and it's incredibly heart-warming.
The next story is very bittersweet, but great and there are several more stories.
Overall, this book won't change your life, but it will make it a little bit brighter.

The reason I first picked up Same Cell Organism was because of its wonderful art. It's not a carbon copy of the same style you see in a lot BL/yaoi manga. It's very clean and very cute.

The stories themselves follow suit; they're all very cute and sweet, a few of them even bittersweet and a tad bit sad. But I personally enjoyed them all (there are seven chapters and four seperate stories).

This manga isn't graphic yaoi, just BL (Boy's Love). So if you're looking for something graphic and more on the smutty side, remove one star from this review. If you're a fan of BL though, pick up this manga. It's well worth the money.

Same Cell Organism surpassed my expectations. The stories in this manga were sweet and charming. Starting with the first story of Nakagawa and Yokota. The emotion expressed through the breathtaking and clean artwork to the story lines enraptured me from the start. Very good and highly reccommended to Yaoi fans!!

I really enjoyed these stories. The boys were more normal or real then most comic characters. The issues they faced were real and handled in such a loving manner. The other short stories in the books were also good but not as good as the title story. The eyes of the boys were so well drawn that you could understand their thoughts just looking at them. I recommend for anyone.

I confess that I love all of Sumomo Yumeka's works, but it's certainly not without reason. Her artwork is entrancingly beautiful, and her stories are sweet and poetic. She always manages to portray the emotions of her characters through close ups, eyes, and with few words.
Not to mention how calming and mellow her work is! All with keeping her books interesting.

Same Cell Organism is my personal favorite out of all her works. Nakagawa and Yokota make a very sweet, very real couple. The book isn't smutty (a plus for me!) which keeps the book realistic (how many couples sex it up right after telling each other their feelings?!) and charmingly innocent, unlike...just about every yaoi on the market.

Anyway, this is amazing. More amazing than any other manga I've ever seen published. Therefore Sumomo Yumeka is amazing! Look for 'Voices of a Distant Star' too, which she drew under her other pen name, Sahara Mizu.

It was like poetry through art! It was such a beautiful collection of short stories. I fell in love with it on page 1. If you're expecting a long in depth sex-fest, you're going to be dissapointed; however, this book is by no means shallow, pointless, or without depth. Truely a work of art.

my best friend lent it to me and i was aghast at how beautiful the stories were, i'm really picky when it comes to yaoi or shonen ai and this, i must say is one of my favorites.

For the most part, this is a remarkable collection of Shounen-ai short stories. The tone is set by the title piece which beautifully and gently depicts the still innocent beginnings of love between two teenaged boys. With the exception of TO MAKE AN ANGEL, the other stories follow the same endearing path. Sumono Yumeka's artwork will almost certainly touch you deeply with its appealing, heartfelt emotion.

I confess that I couldn't make much sense of TO MAKE AN ANGEL. It just seemed both out-of-place and bewildering. In her afterword, the artist/author actually apologizes for the incompleteness of this story so perhaps I'm thereby justified in my disappointment. (I notice that another reviewer here felt the same way).

However, THE LETTER IN THE ATTIC is absolutely transcendent in its heartbreaking, bittersweet simplicity. Beautifully told, this story will probably bring a tear to more than a few eyes and yet it was my favorite.

Reading this book was a rewarding experience; THE LETTER IN THE ATTIC, especially, will keep a special place in my heart long after I've totally forgotten my bafflement at the author's unconvincing "angel."

I actually read this by accident on mangafox, and then came across it at barnes and noble and bought it immediately. This collection of stories is sooo cute and lovable :>!!!!!!! Actually, after reading this I went online and looked up Yumeka Sumomo and spent hours reading all of her stories, even the ones under different names. Her style is so clean and cute and blended with the fabulous stories all her works turn out to be emotional and visual masterpieces.
