Product Description
Tough guys need love, too!
This tale of tough love revolves around the passionate and bittersweet romances between four tough guys: Yoshino, Sachi, Tamotsu, and Sora. Three years ago, after realizing he had feelings for, not his lover Keiko, but her little brother Sachi, Yoshino escaped the city without ever revealing his attraction. When he once again returns, will his love for Sachi remain unrequited or will he finally gather the courage to confess his long concealed desires? As Yoshino and Sachi struggle with their feelings for each other, Tamotsu, Sachi's childhood friend, continues to struggle with his own unrequited love. However, with the appearance of a younger classmate, Sora, he may finally be able to experience the happiness of mutual love.

A great cast of characters, a mix of angst, sexiness and comedy. If you like the manga-ka's other work, 'Yakuza in Love', then you'll enjoy this one, too!

While I'm a fan, I really didn't enjoy this story as much as I thought.

Yoshino is a 26 yd old waiter. He is back again in city after three years. He left when he realized he had feeling not for his girlfriend, but for her little brother Sachi. Now Sachi is 19 yd old and fate wants that Yoshino goes to live near him. When he sees again the boy, he almost doesn't recognize him: Sachi is a big guy and he is also in a street gang. But after some days of iceness between them, Yoshino and Sachi finally admit their feeling.
Tamotsu is Sachi's best friend. He remembers how Sachi has suffered when Yoshino left years before and he doesn't want that Sachi would be wonded again. But he can't do nothing, Yoshino will be always first in Sachi's heart. And then Tamotsu has met a young guy, Sora, 16 yd old and so gentle and shy. After some years of innocent relationship, they become lovers and Sora goes to live with him when he starts college. But Sora is not more the boy he met, and growing up he becomes a man, with all the needs of a man. Tamotsu will be able to acept this new side of Sora?
Without doubt the second couple, Tamotsu and Sora steal the scene to Yoshino and Sachi. To be sincere, I really don't understand well Yoshino and Sachi's relationship, and felt interest only when Tamotsu was around. Instead the second story is more involving and interesting, and also complete.
The graphic is very sexy, even if both the story are almost "chaste" (with only some sex hints from the second couple). Sex is more told than drawn. But the "tough boy" looks of Sachi and Tamotsu are very "cool".
