Calling by Miu Otsuki

Calling by Miu Otsuki sneaks up on a reader. It's a love story between two opposites, shy businessman Kazuaki and Kira, an openly lovable porn star. Kazuaki has a very predictable life, and goes through the motions of living. He's a sweet, quiet guy, doesn't make waves, and doesn't veer from his place of safety. Until he runs into Kira, while Kira is filming an outdoor porn scene in a park! (Like that would ever happen in real life, but why read yaoi if you're looking for reality, right!).

I love how the relationship builds between the two men - and deepens over time. Miu Otsuki does a remarkable job in a one-shot. I found myself sighing over certain scenes and smiling, too. The story chapters layer upon the next one, showing the reader how Kazuaki and Kira's love blossoms and the sacrifices they're willing to make for each other.

Blu Manga's new format has two color inserts at the beginning of the book. Very nice! Also, there are some pretty explicit sex scenes without 'forced sex' - which I find refreshing for a change. The artwork is expressive and very pretty to look at.

I look forward to reading more work by this author.
