I'm amazed that DramaQueen is actually publishing new yaoi! I'm not sure how this has happened, but I'm glad it has. I ordered The Summit directly through their website and promptly received the book in my mailbox.It's a Korean BL story. And like so many Korean BL's, there is actually a story behind the relationship. This with the stunning artwork makes it a keeper. The publication is very high quality with 4 color inserts.
The boy's are beautiful with big almond shaped eyes - the seme dark and brooding, and the uke blond, sassy and no push over. Just how I like my characters. And since there are more volumes to come, the love story can slowly unveil.
Han Sae is a dark and handsome loved by women, but he just got dumped! His already bad day just gets worse when Moto, a brazen thief, steals his wallet.
Big mistake, Moto!
Han Sae isn't willing to put up with much more. Wanting to teach this stray a lesson, he goes after the thief. Soon he's embroiled in Moto's shady life and the golden hair stray just won't leave him alone.
There's quite a bit of humor sprinkled through out the pages, and the art is wonderful. That alone makes it an enjoyable book, but what I really like is the relationship development between Han Sae and Moto. There is no 'wham, bam, thank you sir' that is in so many yaois and it's refreshing.
I'm looking forward to volume 2, so let's hope DramaQueen comes through.

Maybe Drama Queen will finally get around to releasing the Shushushu Sakurai yaoi they licensed forever ago.
I'm astonished too (that Drama Queen is still alive). With Aurora going down, it would be nice to see Drama Queen actually alive and well again. ;)
Yeah, it's weird, but I thought DQ was all but dead in the water. Strange...I miss Deux Press because they took chances with their yaoi choices. Are they pretty much closed for business? I never heard their announcement.
The rumor I've heard is that Aurora/Deux Press is still alive, but currently inactive while they look for someone to buy them out. At Yaoi Con last year, I spoke briefly with Mikako Ogata, head of Aurora. At that time, she said Aurora wasn't working on any new projects. So basically, back in fall 2009, the company was already in a wait-and-see mode.
