this is my top 3 favs. good n sweet story with also action in it as well.n i liked the characters. Plenty of sexual encounters.i've read it about 10 times.
I liked the story line of this book. I have already re-read it. The drawings were not bad.
Sure, some people are afraid of him but his flashy car is borrowed and he barely makes enough money to live on. Slowly, Sagami weans him away from the yakuza life (for which he really isn't suited anyway). Sagami isn't afraid of him and easily solves Tatsurou's problem by burning the debt note. A truly delicious way to hook a reader.Tatsurou is a yakuza. The perfect recipe for yaoi.
Only, the author flashes back to the preceding events just before the payoff. Tatsurou is falling in love with Sagami, but doesn't understand the feeling since he's never been in love before. The story was sexy and funny, and the sex was explicit and plentiful. His role in the gang is to collect debts.
Only, the gang is expecting that money and will come after him for it.Sagami has been in love with Tatsurou since he cried after losing a kendo match when they were kids. Their battle of wills is delightful, and fun. Only, the yakuza life isn't what it used to be. When the gang president sends him to collect from an old man who owns a factory, Tatsurou runs into trouble. I fell for the hot-tempered, tender-hearted Tatsurou immediately.
I LOVED this book. He knows Tatsurou won't give up his tough guy image to be his lover without a fight. So, Sagami strikes a deal to loan the money in exchange for his body. Sagami is calm and collected through most of the story, while Tatsurou is the quintessential reluctant uke. He can't bring himself to shake the man down. And Sagami was dignified and loving, a nearly prefect seme. The book opens with Sagami "mounted atop" Tatsurou and about to collect on a debt.
The translation was relatively smooth, and the story flowed well. He knows the old man from when he took Tatsurou in as a kid. While drowning his woes in booze, he runs into an old school rival. The romance had a surprising depth, and the characters are very charming. Overall, I can't recommend this yaoi novel enough, and I will look for more by this author.
I though this book was great. I really have been enjoying the Yaoi Novels and this is one of my favorites. The story was fun and lighthearted and had everything and plenty of it that you look for in this type of book.
This is maybe the first time I read a yaoi novel where the story is almost as interesting as the sex. It's obvious that Sagami is enjoying what they are doing together, but if let him know believe that he is forced will leave to the guy his honor, he will do that, since he most of all loves Sagami's spirit will.As always in this yaoi novel there is sex, and a lot of it, but it's not too much unbelievable as in other stories, even if multiple orgasm one after the other without resting time and the use of some sexual terms that in the past I only heard for female anatomy make me turn up my nose here and there. Tatsurou is a good guy without perspective that earns his day in the only way he knows; he knows that he is not a tough guy and he fears the day when someone will uncover his disguise.
The work is pretty simple, since the reputation of the gang is enough for him to collect the debt without really making nothing of nasty. As he refuses to admit that he is not a bad guy, he refuses to admit that he is attracted by Sagami, and justifies his surrendering with the fact that Sagami compels him and during sex he is tied down; but he knows very well that the ties that held him are as weaken as his opposition, and that he could break them when he wants.Sagami felt in love with Tatsurou in high school: he was entranced by the young boy with the angel face and the fiery behavior; actually he felt in love the first time he saw tears in Tatsurou's eyes, and at first he tries to do all he can to see again that tears. (not that I read so many, so maybe this is not an exception).Tatsurou is a yakuza member without the attitude: from a poor family and with hopes to improve his perspective, soon out of high school he joined up a gang and now lives as debt collector.
When he makes the bargain with Sagami he knows what he will face but he didn't expect to enjoy it so much. But then he is asked to collect a debt from the one man that in the past tried to help him and Tatsurou can't do that. In a drunken stupor he makes a bargain with Sagami, a former high school mate, now president of an important financial firm: Sagami will borrow Tatsurou the money he needs in exchange of his body: the day in which they sing the contract Tatsurou surrenders his body to Sagami and again every month as interest till the day he could repay the borrowing.Both Tatsurou than Sagami are interesting characters.
But he really doesn't want to hurt Sagami, he wants to see that tears from pleasure not from pain. But well, it's funny, and no one is expecting reality from this type of fiction.
