Play Boy Blues 1 by Shiuko Kano

Junsuke and Shinobu are lovers. They live together since a year and recently Shinobu has left his work as host for a night club in favor of a construction work. Instead Junsuke still works in that place. It's strange, giving Junsuke's work, to realize that it's Shinobu who seems less committed: in the first scene of the manga we see him having an extra affair relationship with a designer he has known at work, but he is pretty clear that it's a one night standing.

But Junsuke knows all and he gives some hints of jelausy. Shinobu acts in a strange way: he seems to be taken by Junsuke but he also questions his own involvment and meanwhile he makes some jealousy scenes to Junsuke for his own. So what he wants? Of the two, who seems to me more steady and sure is Junsuke.

By the way I found this manga very interesting: I think it decipts a pretty usual situation in a modern couple... are we only fuck buddy or are we lovers? And lovers as there is LOVE between us?

Gourgeous drawing style as always and in this case also an interesting story behing. And as in other Shiuko Kano's work, there is sex, but not in graphic details, instead sometime all is left to the reader's imagination.

Adam and Even by Starr Oliver

Adam and Even are twins... and lovers.

The story is pretty short, 20 pages, so we didn't know how they became lovers and if this is an event that cause they trouble. We start to read in the middle of their relationship and only know that, even if twins, Adam and Even are really different. Adam is steady, an hard worker. He manages a coffe shop open 24/7 and ofter he has to do overtime. Instead Even is a little flamboyant, spoilt by his brother. He has an instable work as magician, and spends most of the time at home, waiting for Adam to show. And to make sex.

There is a lot of sex in this short story, sex which features well how the relationship between the two twins are, how Adam is always ready to satisfy every minimum whim of his brother.

As I said in the past, a twincest story is not an easy matter, but here we haven't enough time to deal with the trouble of this kind of relationship, so we only can savour the relationship between two men and reading it with the perspective that it's a twincest relationship, and so every claim of forever love has another and deeply taste.
