Product Description
Is it easier to give... than to receive?
After Tetsuo finally finds out that his best friend of fifteen years, Michiro, loves him in "that way," he feels hurt by the betrayal of friendship and surprised by his sudden arousal from Michiro's sexual ministrations. Angry and confused, Tetsuo harshly spurns Michiro's love and seeks out Momoyama for sex instead! Does this mean that his impotence really only applied to the opposite sex? Is he, in actuality, meant to be the 'bottom' of a male/male relationship?
Yaoi has never been funnier or more erotic!

 Really impressed! April 5, 2010
Manda_P (Orlando, FL)
This is really a review on the whole 3 manga series.
This yaoi manga looked like generic schoolboy stuff, but it turned out to be really good. It was a complex soap opera with unique relationships and characters. A lot of things happened I didn't expect, keeping it interesting. The end was totally unexpected. No one ends up together the way you expect them to. I liked this one a lot! Once I read the first volume I had to get the next two.
I really like the detail in the art too. It's not lazy art, but really tries to draw noses and other details realistically. I'm going to check out this magaka's other work!
 Some nice, touching moments but speech bubbles were distracting... December 5, 2008

Kiss All The Boys Volume 2 - Manga - Shiuko Kano
Before I go too far into my review of this volume, I should point out that if you have yet to read volume 1 you won't want to read this review as it will contain information from that volume and may spoil it for you. So, at the end of volume 1 we were left with a bit of a cliff hanger. Michiro had just said I love you to a presumed to be sleeping Tetsuo who of course, was not sleeping. Volume 2 picks up with the fall out from this situation. The beginning of this volume has some very emotional and touching moments, probably the best in the series. Michiro has to deal with the very real fact that he may have just lost his best friend forever and Tetsuo has to deal with trying to understand just why after all this time Michiro would say such a thing knowing it could ruin their friendship. The rest of this volume deals with the fall out that leads to some very drastic and sometimes not well thought out decisions. I started to realize with this volume just how selfish Tetsuo really has been in that it is always about him and how HE feels about everything. He doesn't think about the consequences of his own actions. As the back cover of the book explains, Tetsuo has come to realize that his impotence isn't an issue when he is with a man and this also causes him to lash out and do some stupid things. This indirectly brings in another character, Kippei Kazama who becomes his editor and a potential love interest for one of our other (potentially underage) characters.
I think this volume brings up the interest factor for the series. The plot thickens a bit with the introduction of a new character and Tamaki's role in the series is a bit more established. There are some nice touches by the mangaka with the flashbacks to Michiro and Tetsuo's time in high school in that Michiro had his natural hair color and a slightly different haircut instead of making him look like a slightly younger version of exactly how he looks now (although I do forget this from time to time and confuse myself on exactly who he is). One down side is that I found it harder to follow the speech bubbles in this volume as compared to the last one. There were numerous time that I had to reread certain areas and still did not feel comfortable that I understood who was talking. The translation to English, however, was fine. The sex scenes were a bit limited to one oral scene and one full sex scene. I'm rating the character design and illustrations the same as my last review as these have not changed. I'm bumping up my grade on the plot but decreasing it on the translation due to the bad speech bubbles and also on the sex due to the limited amount in the book.
Character Design = A-
Plot = A-
Book Design/Illustrations = A-
Sexual Content = B
Translation = B
Overall Grade = B+

Thanks to her consistently involving stories and sympathetic (not to mention gorgeous!) characters, Shiuko Kano has become one of my top fave manga-kas(?). True to form, Ms. Kano's continuation of Tetsuo Atarashi's comedic saga of sexual confusion had me chuckling, panting, and slavering for Volume Three! Who will end up with who??? I just hope poor Momoyama gets his share...
