Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: Kanae is a university student whose "cold beauty" has led people to spread nasty rumors about his promiscuity. In truth, Kanae is a virgin, and is secretly in love with the Don Juan of the campus, Yuuichi. Poor Kanae would do anything to be with Yuuichi, even if it meant a merely sexual relationship with no feelings involved. But when the opportunity arises, can he settle for anything less than love?

Customer Reviews
A must read
I liked the story and it never got boring! The scenes reminded me of something that you would more daydream about rather than doing. It definitely wasn't realistic but it kept me interested throughout the entire book. The sex scenes were graphic and there was a lot of them, which was good. I really liked the characters too. The translation wasn't too bad either.

Actually its 4.5 starss
I enjoyed this light read. It sweet, sexy and funny. The plot and characters are a little thin but I don't really read Yaoi for its complexity. ^_^

Save Your Money
I had been anticipating this new yaoi novel since I saw it's release date on June Manga, unfortunately this new edition of m/m writing fell short. There seems to be a lot missing to the story, not only was it extremely short but it seemed to be the sort of story I'd find at fictionpress. I'm not sure if it was because of the editors/translators but this story didn't seem to really stand up to the summary in the back. The art is really pretty and some of the interactions with kanae and Yuuichi were amusing but I would suggest you borrow or read it at the bookstore to save you money it should that everyone one sitting to read this short book.

Body Language by Aki Morimoto
I made an error: I bought this book thinking it was a graphic novel (the cover is pretty cute) and instead it's a yaoi novel. It's my first time I read a true japanese yaoi novel and my feelings are puzzled.
Overall I have to say that I like it, but it's clearly a novel written by a woman for women. Why I say this? Cause, after reading hundreds and hundreds of gay romance, I know certaing things about gay love (maybe more than I want) and there are some sex scene in this book that are impossible, "realistic" impossible. But still it's almost an erotic novel, with a lot of sex, and I think that it reaches its goal, to entertain you for some enjoyable hours.
Kanae is a beautiful guy, almost too pretty that he can be mistaken for a girl. He is an out of town college student, and so, without long time friends, and being helplessly shy, he has made a reputation of cold beauty. Rumors say he is bisexual and that he is an host. Instead Kanae is virgin and he has chosen to ignore all the rumors without denying them nor confirming. But one day Yuuichi, the most notorious womanizer of the university, decides to be his knight in shining armor and to rescue him from all the people who mock him. And Kanae falls in love at first sight for this handsome guy with an incorrigible behaviour.
They are friends but Kanae yearns for more and what he has the chance, he proposes to Yuuichi: better some days as his lover than a life as his friend, in this way he will have the memories to warm him. He knows that Yuuichi's interest is easily lost after some days he makes sex with a girl, and he is surprise to realize that their relationship grews steady more the days pass. But Kanae is not sure of Yuuichi's love, and he counts the days to their break.
As I said, there is lot of sex in this novel: the two guys can't be in the same scene without making sex and they are the only two characters of the novel, so, you can understand how much sex there is. But I find it exciting and not boring, so, if you start reading this novel knowing what you will find and not searching to noblize it to something more, it's a pretty good read.
