The Sky Over My Spectacles by Mio Tennohji

Four story, interconnected two by two.

Shirou has a fetish for spectacles. He thinks to be able to find attractive every person wears them. And so when he is drawn by Satoshi, he thinks cause he wears spectacles. But then he sees him without them and he has to admit that it is love, love for a guy.

Sawai and Minami have a friendship with benefit... they are lovers. Buth Minami fears that Sawai can fall in love for a girl and he is jelaous, even if he has never said I love you to him... he doesn't think Sawai can reciprocate the feeling.

Saegusa is a private investigator who falls in love for Nanase, the bartender he sees everyday at lunch. But Nanase seems so distant and never accepts his hints, until Saegusa lose one of their one o'clock lunch appointment.

Tetsuji and Ichi are childhood friends. Now Ichi has a work and Tetsuji wins a scolarship for a distant city: their friendship has to end and Ichi has never had the courage to admit his love for his friend. And then Tetsuji makes his move...

The first two story are about teens and the other two about young men. Still they are pretty innocent. Maybe I have endured much more by a lot of novel and also by the previous manga I have read, but I have found this one a little tamed.

I have found interesting the first person point of view that it is used first by a character and then by the other, like a ball in a gamefield... I feel so, game, what do you feel?, game, I love you, game, do you love me?, POINT.

Affair by Shiuko Kano

This is a yaoi very different from what I have read till now, more dark and bad behaviour. It's an anthology of 4 stories.

Affair: Yoshi and Sempai were in the same baseball team, but Sempai was the bad boy and Yoshi the good guy. And as the playscript, Sempai got caught in a scandal and quit with baseball. Now he is an women escort and meets again Yoshi, and the heat of a young summer is still hot.

My dear mad dog: Hijiri and Kyouichi are stepbrother, Hijiri son of the mistress of Kyouichi's father. They grown up together and Kyouichi has ever treat Hijiri like a property, something he can use and abuse. But then Kyouichi's mother has a tryst with Hijiri and Hijiri got mad and jealously flares uncontrollable... this is a very dark plot, like a greek drama, full of amoral love and pain/pleasure game (not physical, more emotional)

One lucky guy: Takei is a vey lucky guy but not in love, and when he finds Hirose maybe he will be not lucky in the game, but he will be lucky in love. The less impressive in the story of the anthology, I really don't understand it a lot.

Love machine: Yagi and Tamiya are in the same university and Yagi makes a move with Tamiya but he back off. Then Yagi turns the table and now is Tamiya who chases Yagi around. And when he suspects that Yagi could have another guy, he takes charge of the situation.

Of this four stories without any doubt My Dear Mad Dog is the most interesting and with the better plot. It's also much more adult in content and development of the others. Affair is not bad and the draw is gourgeous: maybe only the cover worths all the yaoi.

Casino Lily by Youka Nitta

Magira is a professional gambler but he has a problem: he can't win using his own money, he has to bet with the money of someone else and so he put on stake both his lucky hand and his beautiful body. He enthrall men, get their money and leaves them without regret.

But last time he has left a good man, Carlo, a casino owner and a gentleman. Magira, also known as Casino Lily for his fair looks, has some open business back in Japan and doesn't think to really love Carlo: he plays with love like he does with his life, always flying here and there, never stop.

Maybe with his first love he can finally find the peace he craves... but a youthful dream could be the answer to all his restlessness? or maybe what he has left behind is the key to his future?

Magira's characters his beautiful, only him is worthing all the story. I don't like vey much Carlo, he would deserve a better look, cause he has a very charming behaviour, like an old english gentleman (even if I suppose he has italian heritage instead...). Carlo likes beautiful things and who he is more beautiful than Casino Lily?

A very little surprise is the bonus story, Not Guilty: it is like a treasure, few pages with a plot compelling and clever. Don't miss it!
