Cute but too short!     Jul 30, 2007     reviewed by Obsessed    

I say this because Teacher is actually a compilation of 6 short stories. The first is two chapters long and actually focuses on a student and teacher relationship. The teacher involved in a substitute teacher who falls for the confident student. The usual plotline follows and is somewhat similar to Passion – except that the art is better and it ends before it gets tedious.

The rest are all one chapter one-shot works. My favorite is called “Honey happy baby”. Yes, there is a child involved, but it is great to see a uke who is sex-crazed.

There are only two works I really didn’t care for. “Bloom!” has two girly guys getting together who are also step-brothers. I just like more manly type men. The second is called “lens” and involves a rape scene. Plus the seme was once convicted of statutory rape making him a sex criminal – but its OK because it was really consensual. It’s too dumb.

The other two works fall into the “meh” category. Voice was cute, but somewhat predictable. It has the two main characters falling for each other based upon a single voice mail message. Scandal involves a Hollywood stunt man and leading man falling for each other. It was different but lacking a bit in plot.

Still the art is beautiful.

The legendary story of the teacher and the student love affair     Jan 26, 2008     reviewed by rosyyaoi    

...but, I'm you're teacher is a really sweet story of how Mr. Yahiro is a substitute for a female teacher on maternity leave. He soon finds himself approached by a male student named Koga. They begin their affair, only keeping their love in the storage rooms of the school after school hours. It follows them through the realization of love, and the aftermath when Mr. Yahiro is finished replacing the teacher on maternity leave.

The other stories are quite good in my opinion.

Story #2 Of course, here we have the step-brothers getting together, whats more fun than that? Its a very cute story that has no major plot in it, but is good for the sex and the funny lines. The uke is majorly shy and nervous but we forgive him since all the best ukes are that way.

Story #3 This one is pretty typical, just an angsty uke wanting sex from his seme, but with the problem of a little niece. The baby seems to be bringing them together, but also keeps them from doing the desired. ;)

Story #4 Next is a story about a male prostitute who gets a call from someone and he finds he cannot let go of that familiar voice belonging to the man he met and made a connection he never felt before.

Story #5 This story sort of reminds me of Embracing Love (Haru wo Daiteita) only because its an actor and a stunt man who fall in love and go through the complexities of feelings. Its a little confusing, but overall you get the sense at the end and usually feel satisfied about it in the end.

Story #6 The last story, is one you can have a mixed opinion on. A photographer is living with a model he found, one he is interested in, but cant touch. He is a registered felon, and unable to bear the temptation any longer as his desire for the younger man increases, he hires a man to force onto him while he photographs the whole thing. I dont want to spoil the ending of that one for you, but I'll tell you that it surprised me...

Overall, the book is satisfying, and the scenes are hot and steamy, without being over the top. The plots lack a little, but I think that may be because of how they were written; in a way that made the sex scenes most apparent so you could feel satisfied for watching you're daily dose of yaoi.

The scenes are explicit, so if you aren't into stories like that, I wouldn't recommend it. But I thought it was cute, and I loved it.

effin awesome!     Jun 16, 2008     reviewed by chibidorable    

Like the title said, EFFIN AWESOME! !!!! The main story might not have been that long but it was sweet and sexeh! I had a very bad stomachache while I was reading it the first time around but it was still good. Anyway the other stories are really good too. My favorite one is Honey Happy Baby. It was so cute with the chubby baby I loved the action in that story the most out of the rest of the book, not that the other ones were bad. Just the last story was a little dark but over all the book was really good and you people need to read it!
