Well told angsy student-sensei romance. A nice surprise. April 10, 2008
R.Parklane (Tokyo, Japan)
I am surprised by how much I like this. The artwork is average and this is soft Yaoi so no explicit sex. But the evolving love between one innocent 17 year old student and his cold and aloof sensei is emotionally well done.
Morio is the student who has known from young that he does not like girls. He is forced to face his sexuality when he accidentally stumbles upon his chemistry teacher, Saeki, having sex with Nakajima, a promiscuous gay student. Of course, Morio already develops a crush for Saeki, when they first meet days ago. Thereon, it is an engaging, angsy and emotional relationship development as Morio refuses to give up on his love for the cold Saeki. It does not help that Saeki only goes for 1 night stand and never make love to another man twice. He does not even remember his sexual partners' names! Saeki does remind me of my favorite seme, Eiri Yuki of Gravitationi and I find him intersting. Told from Morio's point of view, we get to appreciate this confused but determined student's die-hard feelings for Saeki. But it would be nice if we could get into Saeki's head too and understand what makes this cool seme ticks.
I finished both Vol 1 and 2 together and find Vol 2 even better! I am surprised this one is not appreciated by more Yaoi fans.

I own the Japanese version but I can't understand much Japanese. So, I can't be entirely sure of what everyone's saying but the pictures told me all in needed to know.
The story focuses around an innocent high school/college student who falls for his new teacher. The new teacher, while cold (think Yuki from Gravitation) is very popular. When the teacher notices that the student has a crush on him he tries to mess around with him but he goes faster than the student can handle. His student want more than just some fling and it takes the teacher time to realize that he does too.
It's a cute story with a nice relationship build-up. They meet several obstacles (usually the teacher's other lovers) before they can come together.
If you enjoy teacher-student relationships or is you like to see the sweet boy who is able to charm the cold guy, then I would definitely pick this book up.
