Product Description
Sakai Kazuya is a 23-year-old man in love. Unfortunately, the object of his affection is a lovely woman only interested in well educated men. Sakai never finished high school and has been living off of his brawn, not his brains. So he enlists the help of her younger brother, Ezumi Masashi, to help him pass the high school entrance exam, his first step toward to becoming a well-educated man. Ezumi is happy to help, but his services come with a very steep fee. And, Ezumi isn't interested in money, he has his sights on some of Sakai's other assets...

The Yaoi Review
I'm Not Your Steppin' Stone is about Kazuya Sakai, a 23 year old uke construction worker and Masashi Ezumi, a 17 year old seme high school student (seems like the roles are a bit reversed but it works!). Kazuya is in love/lust with Masashi's sister, Natsuko and asks for Masashi's help in winning her over. Masashi points out that since Kazuya is a high school drop out, she'll never be interested in him. He offers to tutor Kazuya so he can take the test and get his degree (think G.E.D.) but in return, Kazuya has to offer himself to Masashi as payment.
Ok, so let's get to the good stuff. I love this book (and it's follow up Maybe I'm Your Steppin' Stone) because of two big reasons: (1) there are lots of pages (206 in this volume) and (2) it's 206 pages of plentiful sex. How plentiful? I counted 11 sex scenes in total and that doesn't include flashbacks, one sided sex or dream scenes. The scenes are graphic (full genitals) but screened in a way that doesn't make it overly in your face (but still detailed enough!). The story is fun, funny, graphic and a must have in your collection. As far as the book's construction, it has a nice dust jacket, one color page in the front and the illustrations I would rate as about a 3.75 out of 5; not the best work I've seen but not to the point of being distracting either. There are times when the speech bubbles were a little hard to follow so it may take a second read through but it didn't overly detract from the story, which in and of itself, is still interesting.

This series is hot, delightfully surprising, and has a dash of comedy to top it off. Anyone that wants to break away from your typical soft core shounen-ai obsessions will find a title that has more detailed sex scenes and a solid plot. This is only one of the books of this series. It's most recommended to buy and read them both. The book is packed with art. There is no detail that I disliked.

First of all the graphic art was so in detail and of course Shiuko uses the same characters from her other Graphic Novel manga. as for the story, i don't know i didn't like the story that much it was a worth buying to add on ur Yaoi Collections.

Well this is my third title from Shiuko Kano and this one is definitely on the hard core .Everytime this two character are together, it is a f*** fest, maybe the mangaka was pressured to have more s** in this title.It is pretty much XXX rated.The illustrations on the "bed scenes"are very explicit.And I agree with the author that Masashii is the most perverted teenager so far.
Character development wise and story not as strong as compared to the other titles ie Kiss all the boys and Yakuza in Love, but as I read the manga again, the characters start appearing strong and deep.Strange.
I like the drawing style but The cover is the weakness.

Maybe I'm Your Steppin' Stone (Yaoi)
The younger seme (Ezumi Masashi) and older uke (Sakai Kazuya) is a concept I've recently gotten behind....that is thanks to this manga. Reading the reviews, you are well aware of the plotline, but the chemistry between the characters is most important to note. And let me tell you, there is CHEMISTRY!
The artwork is great, especially the details given to the eyes and lips. During those most intimate moments, it is most intense. I think everyone will let out a squeal during the tryst between Masashi and Kazuya when Masashi drives Kazuya so wild that he's literally biting the sheets. *WHEW!* Yes, moments like these make me love this manga ever so much.
But, smut alone doesn't make this manga top notch. The storyline is great and it grabs your interest. You really care about the characters and root for them to have a happy ending. I'm looking forward to the spin-off manga, unfortunately not about these characters, "Maybe I'm Your Steppin Stone".
My only problem is that the link to digicomic.net is no longer operational, that is a let down once you read the Club Dandy section.
