The special of the day is hot, spicy love to go!
Ukyo is the handsome, yet spoiled, son of the most powerful Yakuza boss in the region. One day, after running from a rival gang, Ukyo retreats to a noodle shop, where he instantly falls in love with the shop owner's adorable son, Kakeru. Two years later, the noodle shop is threatened by a different gang. Lovestruck, Ukyo sheds his flashy suits and poses as a poor man so he can get a job at the shop and help his beloved. Ukyo tries desperately to pass as a man in need, but he's really desperately in love!

Entertaining, Funny, Cute! ALL OF THE ABOVE! DEFINITE GREAT READ. January 8, 2010

I just finished reading the manga. I would definitely have to say that it was not only cute, but it was funny, entertaining, and a great read. I flipped through the pages really quick because it was just that good. The protagonists in the story are just too cute for words, especially Ukyo and attempts to make Kakeru fall in love with him. Not to mention his constant perverted nosebleeds that accompany his everlasting imagination and obsession with Kakeru... were quite amusing and absolutely adorable. I loved it and I can't wait for the next volume! DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED!!! 5 out of 5 stars indeed!
A title to keep December 11, 2009

I'm extremely happy that more of CJ Michalski's works are being released. For Noodle Shop Affair, the seme is desperate instead the other way around like in other yaoi/bl manga. The story may seem the same in other series that are out there, but the one thing that sets this title apart from other series is that Ukyo has to work to show Kakeru that he likes him and prove that not all Yakuza are bad.
I'm really looking forward even more of CJ Michalski's work to be released. She's one of my favorite manga-ka :3
Yakuza in Love with a Shop Boy June 19, 2009

As evident in her other manga (Delivery Cupid) Michalski has a flair for eccentric characters.
Here, Ukyo, a soon to be Yakuza boss, had fallen head-over-heals for adorable shop owner's son Kakeru. Alas, Kakeru has been harassed by a rival Yakuza clan and therefore hates all Yakuza.
What is Ukyo to do to woo his love?
1) Talk it out as a rational human being?
2) Give up?
3) Concoct a crazy scheme?
3 - Crazy scheme it is! He poses as a starving homeless man in need of a job, sure that without his usual sunglasses and flashy suit, Kakeru will never see through such a clever disguise and recognize him!
Ukyo is a helpful shoulder to lean on for Kakeru in his shop assistant form, and a demanding and rough pursuer as his Yakuza self, and in both guises he is a handsome and interesting character. The author clearly enjoys drawing Ukyo as he reacts to the eccentric ramblings of his perverted mind, and Kakeru is a cute and sweet boy, worthy of his adoration.
Though they do not seal the deal physically in volume one; there is mention of a potential second volume which would surely deliver.
Such a delight! June 13, 2009

I love Yakuza Yaoi and this one is delightful. There is a lighthearted and enjoyable plot here as Ukyo, the son of a powerful Yakuza boss tries to woo Kakeru, the son of a noodle shop owner. But Kakeru hates the Yakuza as the Yakuza (a rival gang) is the very reason for his family's plight and his father's coma state in the hospital. What is the love struck Ukyo to do?
Kakeru is your typical endearing uke but Ukyo's character is irresistible and such a sexy hunk as he rescues his beloved from the rival gang's boss. But when it comes to declaring his love you just have to love a cool seme who becomes so unsure and vulnerable. Love CJ Michalski's style and such a pity this is only her 2nd licensed work in the States. Looking forward to more on our cool Yakuza boss and his "peasant girl".
