Say Please by Kano Miyamoto

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Say Please is a pretty melancholic tale. Ryoichi is a male whores; he is a young guy who tries to earn his living in what it seems the easier way, but when he meets Sakura, one of his clients, he is enthralled. Sakura is an high school teacher who can't have an open gay relationship since he will risk to lose his job. So he engages in this relationship with Ryoichi, who spends long period in Sakura's home but he doesn't know if what they have is real or not: Sakura is pretty closed about his feelings and Ryoichi instead is open and friendly, an open book.

Ryoichi's character is best developed, in a way or another we can see how his feelings for Sakura are growing and why he chooses to embark in this relationship. Instead I don't fully understand Sakura: its cold behavior his only a way to avoid troubles at work or it's also a consequence of his broken relationship with another male partner? He really love Ryoichi, as it seems judging his attacks of jealousy?

The graphic is good even if not very detailed; the sex scenes are all left to your imagination, there aren't any graphic details. It's a mix of detached feeling and romanticism. I think this graphic novel is quite right for a young audience (but not "too" young) and also maybe for all the newbies who want to test their interest in the yaoi world.
