Product Description: The Takatsu family is really close. Kenji Takatsu is in his last year of college. He's the middle brother. Reiichi is in med school. He's smart and handsome but he has a rather tough exterior. Miya, the youngest, is a senior in high school. He gets sick easily so he gets everyone's attention in the family. They all love each other very much, but they all have secrets and desires that are yet to be explored... And everything is sure to get confusing when they all find out that one of them was adopted 21 years ago! With a love triangle amongst them and secrets that are bound to tear them apart, how will this Family possibly survive?
A threesome, anyone ? 3.5 stars I have been looking for threesome in licensed Yaoi. Finally found a somewhat resembling one in Family. Why somewhat resembling ? Two brothers making love to an adopted one could not really be termed a threesome since there is nothing between the 2 brothers. But the tangled bodies and limbs are pretty sexy. If you are looking for sex, Family has plenty. Enough angst in the plot but a bit abrupt in the beginning. The second story split into 2 short chapters are like 2 disconnected stories. A pity as the characters deserve better. Maybe it is because this is really a collection of doujinshis. This mangaka's artwork is pretty. Now if only the story has more depth.
So, so Family is a story of love between adopted brothers. Kenji is loved by both his older brother and his younger brother. This story starts off after older brother and Kenji get together. The story itself would have been great if we had gotten the before part along with the after part. There is some interaction between the characters that will satisfy most yaoi fans looking for graphic scenes, though they are not explicit. The second storyline is another jumpy one where two guys meet and then the second part of the story they are now together. Over all I am not sure that this is a keeper for me. In general I like the stuff that comes from Kitty Media but this one is so, so.
