(Worth the price)

『Being the first manga I've read, I really enjoyed the book. The yaoi was mild in this one, but the story and graphics was good and I can't wait to get the next volume!』

(Perfect)

『I loved this manga and I can't wait for Vol 2! this isn't your quick fix yaoi, there's a *Gasp* plot! a little slow at first but really cute it makes you drool thinking about what's to come.』

(I wish I could paint.. a vampire~)

『I mainly picked this one up due to the cover art and the fact that it has vampires in it. The art on the inside is very well done! I'm happy that it didn't change much (if at all) from the cover.

Either way, the story is off to a good start, I really want to know what happens next! It takes a litle bit to pick up though and you don't get to truly know much of the characters in this one. (Except overall information). Also, even though it saids it's 18+, there is no 'scenes' in here. The most you get is a sexy bite scene (just so you know).

If you're into vampires and yaoi then I suggest picking this one up your next time out or online!』

(More vampire action/adventure than BL romance)

『I'm not really a big fan of vampire stories (the only manga/anime with this theme that I've read/watched so far were Trinity Blood and Vampire Knight), but I picked this one up because I liked the cover artwork.

The story is set in Paris and its suburbs and starts when Sein, a moody, relatively well-off vampire, hires Lou, a young street artist, to draw his portrait. Lou accepts the generous offer, but matters get a little more complicated when he discovers that not only does his patron not have a reflection and therefore no longer knows what he looks like, but also has a much darker side and looks to match.

The artwork inside was just as nice as the cover, particularly in several perspectives drawn from more difficult angles. Action scenes are also well done. If there is one thing I might wish for, that would be larger noses in profile. But I'm a perfectionist and the noses are a minor detail.

However, I get the feeling that the story would have been better if it had had a slower pace. Lou and Sein hardly start to get to know one another when other characters interfere with their relationship and the plot moves forward. Too much was crammed in this one volume. If it was originally envisioned as a multi-volume manga, it would have been better to devote more pages to the introduction.

In the end, this book is tagged as yaoi, but it's really not. It's more like an action/adventure story with a bit of romance and vampire lore thrown in. Besides short conversations that hint at the nature of Sein's relationships with Adam and Claude, there is only one tame, stolen kiss. If you are getting this just for the sake of yaoi romance, then buy something else. That said, I rather liked it and would read any subsequent volumes.』

(Vampire's Portrait vol 1)

『Okay read starts very slow and need more pick up. but if you like vampries it is a good read.』
『When young artist Lou catches the eye of the devastatingly handsome Sein on the street one afternoon, he thinks his new patron simply wants to commission a portrait for his wall...but what secret flickers within Sein's piercing gaze? At the very moment that Lou draws closer to his brooding boss, an arrogant rogue named Adam crashes the party and pulls the curtain on Sein's blood-sucking identity. Lou realizes that his bond with Sein goes beyond mere portraiture and into the deep recesses of his heart...but is this frightened boy truly ready to unleash an untamed beast?

Vampire's Portrait blends brushstrokes and bloodlust into a thrilling tale of art, jealousy, and innocent love! Amateur painter Lou surrenders his apprehensions and falls prey to the powerful spell of the vampire Sein. But Lou is quickly pulled into a sticky web of betrayal and heartache when rivals for Sein's affection appear around every darkened corner. In order to capture Sein's heart, an innocent artist must push aside the canvas and decide whom to trust, whom to fight, and who will ultimately destroy him!』

(Sweet and very romantic)

『Tsukasa, newly dumped by his boss's ambition to marry the company's heiress, is drowning his sorrows in a drink in a high class hotel bar when gets an invititation to a hotel room by a complete stranger. After 7 consectutive weekends w/ this mysterious stranger who has yet to reveal his name, Tsukasa ends up bitterly finding out one Monday morning his new bosses identity.

While the plot of sleeping w/ a stranger and finding out he's your boss is not completely originally. The author is able to make the story very unique and romantic.

Alot of mistunderstandings occur due to Tsukasa's insecurity and lack of confidence, but he's basically a very good guy who has extremely bad luck w/ his partners and ends up falling for the worst types of guys. Strictly speaking, Tsukasa is completely idealistic in romance. He can only have one partner at a time and he has to be in love w/ them. So it makes his relationship w/ Takeshima hard to bare since he wants to know and love everything about him. But if he does, the cat and mouse game w/ the mystery between them may be over.

The only thing negative I would have to say about this novel is that I wish there were more narrations from Takeshima's thoughts. He's basically too 1-dimensional in this book, while Tsukasa is fully developed and a great uke to feel a lot of sympthathy for.

The smut was also good, and not as dirty as some novels I've read. But it fit their characters.

I really enjoyed this book, and I would highly recommend it. Its definitley worth a re-read.』

(Nothing special)

『I was lured in by the cover art and promise of illustrations, but I just did not find this book sexy. I found myself laughing during the sex scenes at the florid purple prose (and Tsukasa's effluent "honey") and wanting to kick them both in the head for being stupid.

Admittedly, I don't know whether the florid prose is in the original or whether it's an artifact of translation.』

(its ok)

『At first I was hesitant to get this BL novel because of the title, I should have listened. Well It does have a nice story ,characters coming through nicely. Its Nice.A mystery lover that ends up the boss and becomes the perfect lover. The conflict of the main character stems from his insecurity of having fleeting relationships . Compared to the other novel I have, the love scenes here are written in a somewhat dry manner .I found myself getting bored reading the sex scenes.
Illustations are ok but i feel it could be better, too bland. When I use the words "ok" and "nice" in a review, it basically means I am not impressed. This book will end up in my resale box.』

(Great)

『I thought the story line was good. The pictures were not that bad. In some parts of the book it shows how they both feel and the reason why. The feelings ranges from sad to happy. A tiny bit of drama between one guy and his ex. At least this story lines tells you on how they have met.』

(Please punish me!)

『If bondage is your bag, then don't let the title fool you. The characters are more slaves to their emotions than to any physical bonds. On the other hand, if sweet sensitive yaoi is, this one's for you. I will say I do like my uke with a little more bite. But coming off of The Crimson Spell and Vald's sexy demon uke I suppose any other would pale in comparison. Don't get me wrong, even though Tsukasa was very vulnerable and naïve I found him endearing rather that annoying. Tsukasa, who is used to being used by men and thrown away, is moping in a hotel bar after Konishi (a total jerk) dumps him. He is picked up by a gorgeous mystery man and they share a night of passion. Tsukasa's mystery man will not reveal his name,saying it's more fun if they know nothing about one another. They begin meeting every Friday in the same hotel room. The story takes a surprise turn when they learn one another's names, and the game changes dramatically. There are a few illustrations. My favorites are when Tsukasa is tied up and when he is "sitting" on Takeshima's lap! All in all a sweet little yaoi novel.』
『When Tsukasa meets a mysterious man in a hotel lobby, and ends up spending a maddening night of pleasure with him. Afterwards, he accepts to meet him again in the same room the following week, despite the fact he doesn't even know his name. As their secret encounters continue, he finds himself falling in love and is worried that it may not last. Simultaneously, he's scouted by a business-talent head-hunter and receives an interesting work offer. But when he goes to meet them... his new boss is none other than his secret lover!』

(Waste of time)

『I do like yaoi mangas and novels, and I could name some real gems among mangas. The novels on the other hand serve a somewhat lighter, entertaining side, but still they can be judge on their own merits. With that in mind I have found some novels pleasant, other amusing, others sexy. Unfortunatelly, "Body Language" is nowhere there because it's bad. I mean really bad, and I'm explaining why:

Writing style: It was the most lazy, amateur text I have ever read. It felt more like a sketch or notes for an unwritten yet novel than anything else. I am surprised there was a publisher willing to take the risk.

English text/translation: The English text had grammatical mistakes and there were words gone missing, which at points made it difficult to understand what a sentence was supposed to mean.

Story and characters: The supposed story is simply a pretext for sex scenes which lead to more sex scenes, and so on. Nothing wrong with sex scenes in general (they are more than welcomed if they are well-written), only that here we have an endless, boring and much predicted repetition of the same thing over and over again. The description of sex scenes has nothing to do with "sultry", as the back cover inform us, as most of them defy any aspect of aesthetism --or "cuteness" if you want-- with some blunt details that sound at least gross.

The characters are by far the most unrealistic found in this genre -- even for those women readers who want to kill some time off. How a heterosexual (Yuichi) who sleeps with every single female around goes to bed with his best friend (Kanae), makes then a sudden turn and even offer him flowers --red roses, mind you-- is something I cannot fathom. As I can't fathom either, using my logic at least, why Kanae thinks he has more chances to be with Yuich for a long time if he pretends to be the sluttiest of the sluts than admitting he is not.

If you don't care about a little bit of realism in stories and sex of *any* kind is your thing, then buy it. Otherwise, you'd be better off buying some other novel.

I give this novel two stars only for the beautiful illustrations by Tsubaki Enomoto, and nothing else. I'm sure this story could probably had been more interesting in the hands of another writer.』

(Hot and fun)

『No, of course it's not a great literary masterpiece, but it does what it intends to do. It makes you smile a little, pant a little and go awww.....
I like how Yuichi goes from being a "player" to a faithful boyfriend. We all can figure out it's because he didn't really like girls in the first place. When he finds the boy of his dreams (Kanae) he becomes the perfect mate. This has the most sex of any yaoi novel I have read to date! The scene in the restroom, the scene on the train(who hasn't wanted to have sex in a busy public place, but be completely unnoticed?), and the scene where Kanae thinks he has been cheated on are hot, hot, hot!! True, no human being could keep up the pace that they do, but it's fun to imagine....』

(Loved it!)

『It arrived within the estimated range in good conditions. Plus it was a great book. One of my favorite yaoi novels. Thanks!』

(Absolutely hot!)

『Personally I thought the book was great. The author catogorized it 'erotica', so naturally the novel is filled with deliciously sexy scenes. And they were HOT! I've never read a more stimulating yaoi novel. You should buy this book.』

(A must read)

『I liked the story and it never got boring! The scenes reminded me of something that you would more daydream about rather than doing. It definitely wasn't realistic but it kept me interested throughout the entire book. The sex scenes were graphic and there was a lot of them, which was good. I really liked the characters too. The translation wasn't too bad either.』
『Kanae is a university student whose "cold beauty" has led people to spread nasty rumors about his promiscuity. In truth, Kanae is a virgin, and is secretly in love with the Don Juan of the campus, Yuuichi. Poor Kanae would do anything to be with Yuuichi, even if it meant a merely sexual relationship with no feelings involved. But when the opportunity arises, can he settle for anything less than love?』
