(Must-Read!)    
(The ultimate sensei and student love!)     The story revolves around Yuuya and Kiriya, who coincidentally meet when they're both going through a rough patch. Starting out in a casual relationship, they manage to support each other and the manga centres around the relationship that develops between them.
Toko Kawai is definitely one of my favourite yaoi mangakas, if you haven't come across her work before I definitely recommend it! As in her other mangas, the artwork here is beautiful and the story and characters are very well developed.
Even though the plot may not sound like anything out of the ordinary, it's so well done that the manga really is a brilliant read. The story has a lot of depth and is sweet, funny and completely engaging- it really doesn't disappoint in any way. There are plenty of hot scenes too- though I should probably mention that these aren't as explicit as you can get.
What else can I say? As far as I'm concerned this manga shouldn't be missed! OK then -- I do like this book. It was easier to follow than some of its' kind -- the art is really good, the lay out is really good and the story line itself is super. No spoilers here -- let's just say that I've seen it happen just like this and really thought it was done well. HOWEVER, and you knew this was coming right?, I was disappointed by the preachey parts and I was especially disappointed that the end left me feeling as if the best was yet to come and I wasn't invited to see it! I want more of these characters but we're left in a place that's hard to come away from and be satisfied. This is worth the purchase -- just don't invest a lot of your heart in these fellows! I love Toko Kawai's manga in general, and this is on well on it's way to being one of my favorites ever. My number one favorite would probably be Our Everlasting, then this one, then Bond(Z). Her guys are so hot! Her artwork is so smooth too, I love it! The explicit scenes are nicely done as well. There could have been more, but really, that's just me. There was enough to leave you satisfied though, which was good. It's nicely angsty but a happy ending, which I like. I don't normally like teacher-student love stories but I just had to make an exception for this one. It definitely deserves five stars. Toko Kawai is one of my must-read mangakas and this love story between a sensei and his much younger high school student is just so well told.
Yuuya and Kiriya met one night when they were at the lowest points in their lives. Yuuya, a gifted pianist, has lost his ability to play on his beloved instrument while Kiriya has lost both his job and his lover in one day. They opened up to each other and comfort soon turned to sex on the same night. They could have stopped then but their loneliness drew them together and they found themselves becoming week-end lovers with no strings attached. Imagine their shock when Kiriya turned up in Yuuya's high school one day as a substitute teacher and Yuuya was really not as old as he claimed and looked. Thereon it is one emotional roller coaster ride for Kiriya and the 17 year-old Yuuya. The age gap of 10 years is not the real problem though the last thing Kiriya wants is an immature under-age lover. Their sensei-student relationship is the main obstacle and this soon proves to be true as they were found out in one tumultous scene. Toko Kawai has done a marvelous job exploring this ultimate sensei-student emotional love story. It is realistic filled with anguishment and so much yearnings as the older Kiriya fought against what is right and what his heart wants as he succumbs to Yuuya's sincerity and youthful persistence. The scenes when they are forced to part with Yuuya begging Kiriya to wait for him to grow up is most heart wrenching. As I read this story I was never assured that I will get my happy ending as there are so many obstacles in the lovers' path. It is not that I do not like Yuuya but I thought the vulnerable Kiriya really deserves a mature and caring man to love him. On the other hand maybe Yuuya will grow up to be such a man, as he promises his sensei. The ending could have ended either way. Realistic me would have preferred a bitter ending but I could not complain about this ending which satisfy sappy old me. Highly recommended. Again such high quality packaging from 801media After an accident, Kishimoto was forced to give up his dream of becoming a pianist. After his lover dumped him, Kiriya found himself spiraling into depression. The two bonded over their unhappiness, and before they knew it they'd developed a physical relationship. But could this diversion go in unexpected direction? Rerations < Just Around The Corner (Yaoi) >
