Drama and passions ignite when Katou and Iwaki are selected for the leads in opposing drama series. As their busy schedules keep them apart, each man's yearnings surge within until they reach a boiling point. When Katou finally reaches his limit and rushes to Iwaki's work, the two lovers consume each other in a parked car. Is this the beginning of an exciting new chapter in their lives, or the last gasp of a love that's finally run its course?
Review clocliquot EXCELLENT manga ! Youka Nitta is a great yaoi mangaka ! A lot of hardcore yaoi scenes (yummy)^^ . If you like yaoi you must read this!
pleasant This fourth episode was a rather pleasant surprise: after the third one, one could expect the story of the two young actors to have been exhausted.
On the contrary the author manages -somehow- to keep a good amount of tension: one is now familiar with the two main characters and one can appreciate their interaction fully. They keep on being over the top but they feel human, likeable and real. The plot is not particularly inventive but does not need to be: it flows smoothly to the end.
Sex scenes have never been particularly exciting in this serial nor they become such here. They do not disturb, though.
The bonus story about Sawa is just that trifle too melodramatic and exagerated. It adds nothing to the booklet's worth.
The next level Iwaki and Katou are cast in opposing tv shows; their demanding schedules keep them apart and put a strain on their relationshp. Katou decides to take drastic action (hot sex in the parking lot) to bring him close to Iwaki.
This romantic yaoi gets better with every volume, as we get to know the characters more and their relationship goes through realistic bumps (such as careers, time management and family problems). Highly recommended!
Short Stories of Love Love, emotion, and sex tie this collection of short stories together as we follow the lives of two lovers. The artwork adds even more to the beautiful story.
Adult Yaoi at its Best I have to admit I am a huge fan of Youka Nitta's Embracing Love. Her unique art has its critics, but I find her extremely detailed art realistic and pleasing, and find the men she draws to be very attractive. Embracing Love was mostly written as individual short stories in an anthology but when compiled into a volume, it flows beautifully. There's plenty of love, emotion, and sex, making it a truly great Japanese yaoi aimed at adult readers. I highly recommend it! (One warning - I would stay away if you like very soft yaoi because it's quite explicit)
