Yaoi Review: Punch Up!, Vol. 1 (Yaoi Manga) [Paperback]



I've finished "Punch Up! Vol. 1" by Shiuko Kano.

Product Description

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

Architect Maki Motoharu is hanging out at the construction site ogling a particular hunky, well-toned construction worker when he is unexpectedly reunited with his lost cat, Shinobu. The reunion is all thanks to Ohki Kouta, a foul-mouthed young ironworker who found and cared for the lost cat. Unfortunately for Ohki, this act of kindness led to his eviction! When Maki agrees to take in young Ohki, will he be able to tame this feisty stray? Includes a bonus “P.B.B” side story.

My Review:

One day when architect Maki Motoharu is hanging around a construction site he is reunited with his lost cat Shinobu.  He is ogling a hunky, well toned and handsome construction worker the foul-mouthed iron worker Ohki Kouta who is currently taking care of the lost cat.  This very act got him kicked out of his apartment.

He starts living with Maki taking care of Shinobu and there is scenes of jealousy and violence.  There are plenty of sex scenes that are very graphic and hot.  The artwork was great and the storyline has humor with a blend of drama too.

4/5
