Two Great Stories by Yugi Yamada

I'm so happy to start my New Year with two great books by Yugi Yamada. I was able to purchase them at my local comic book store before they were released on Amazon, and I grabbed them quickly. Yugi Yamada is a favorite of mine, her stories always wacko but entertaining along with her bold artwork.

No One Loves Me is a whooping 300+ pages and the same price as most of June's Manga's yaoi. That alone is worth the price of this book. It's a lovely story about a very closed and cool bookworm - Katshuhiro and the outgoing salesman's - Masafumi. There are so many very small tender moments in this manga that's just so darn sweet, and warms my romantic heart. It's rare when opposites attract but the characters are so well defined that you really can see how they compliment each other.

Open the Door To Your Heart is part of the Close the Last Door series which began with the youngest Honda brother - Kenzo. Remember that story?

This story is about the older Honda brothers - Shoichi the oldest, and Shunji the middle son. Shoichi is serious, stiff and proper in every way. His profession is tax collector, and he wears his suit and tie with pride. Shunji is the globetrotting, sexy wild brother that shows up one day in the shop where Shoichi goes to collect the overdue taxes.

Shoichi is shocked to see Shunji after ten years, their scandalous secret buried deep in his heart. Ten years ago they ended up in each other's arms and heart. Shunji left town but now that he's returned, will their attraction to each other be hard to ignore?

This story is full of angst and Yugi Yamada makes you really feel it.

I highly recommend both books, well worth their price. And, as her usual fare, Yamada has written wonderful quirky secondary characters that add another level of interest to the stories. I so look forward to Close the Last Door volume 2.
