Yaoi Review: Bond of Dreams, Bond of Love, Vol. 1 (Yaoi Manga) [Paperback]



I've finished "Bond of Dreams, Bond of Love Vol. 1" by Yaya Sakuragi.

Product Description

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

High school student Ao has been dreaming about his longtime neighbor Ryomei, a priest at the local Shinto shrine. A little freaked out -- and a lot excited -- at the prospect of having a relationship with Ryomei, Ao gathers up his courage, confesses his feelings ... and gets turned down flat. Luckily, Ao's not the kind to give up easily. Thanks to some creative persistence (and Ryomei's weakening resolve), he finally gets a kiss. But one single kiss won't satisfy him for long!

My Review:

Ao who is the younger high school cutie pie on the cover is in love with Ryomei the older, grumpy and oh so sexy Shinto priest.  Ryomei has been looking after Ao since he was a very young kid.  Ao despite being a cutie pie isn't a innocent young high student since he has been lead by his head (I mean not his brain but the other one, LOL!) and has had many girlfriends since junior high.  He lets Ryomei know his true feelings about wanting to do naughty things with him which scares the older and straight man.  Ryomei's has been given into Ao's so much that he isn't even aware of it until his best friend Shuu points it out to him.  Shuu finds the situation all very amusing and he gives pointers to Ao just to torment and tease Ryomei (he's a hoot)!

Shunpei Ao's childhood friend is a very hot and super sexy eye-glass wearing guy who we learn has been in love with Ao since grade school.   He asks a shocked Ao if he wants to do it then recants his statement (that was very funny).

I highly recommend this series if you love a very horny kid with a one track mind who doesn't give up, a couple of tall and sexy guys and some very interesting side characters.

5/5
