Yaoi Review: Awkward Silence, Vol. 1 (Yaoi Manga) [Paperback]



I've finished "Awkward Silence Vol. 1" by Hinako Takanagi.

Reads R to L (Japanese Style) for mature audiences.

Satoru Tono is too shy to speak to classmate Keigo Tamiya. Instead he fills his sketchbook with drawings of the boy he likes. But perhaps Keigo has noticed him too ...?

Satoru is an introvert with a longtime crush on Keigo, a popular boy on the baseball team. But much to his surprise, Keigo comes up to him and asks him out! Satoru is so overcome he can’t respond. Will Satoru be able to get past his shyness, or will he lose his chance with the boy he loves?

My Review:

This manga series deals with the growing relationship between the Satoru Tono a high-school-er and Keigo Tamiya.  Satori has had a long time crush on Keigo but is too shy to talk to him.  It was so funny when Keigo asks Satori out and Satori is in shock he can't answer right away and Keigo is embarrassed.

This is a cute series with a lot of misunderstandings on part of Satoru's trouble with expressing his thoughts and feelings.  The love scenes are very explicit and hot.

4/5
