Once again, I bring you another manga review by one of my favorite manga writers: Yaya Sakuragi. I keep treating myself, every paycheck week, to buying one or two manga off of Amazon, so expect more reviews to come! Today I bring you "Stay Close To Me," a very cute, romantic manga that's a one volume work.

This manga was sitting in my Amazon shopping cart for quite some time, because I couldn't quite afford to buy it, even if there was only two volumes. And then, the very lovely azardarkstar bought them for me for Xmas. I heart her!!

So now I finally have an actual, physical copy in my hands and I'm so happy. I have a scanlation, but I prefer to have the actual manga. That way I don't have to zoom in to read the words. *laughs* 

Ahem. On to the review.

I come to you today with another manga review and plenty more to come as I relive my days of scouring the internet for any and all shounen-ai or yaoi manga to tickle my taste buds. I'm quite picky when it comes to what I'll read, especially since a majority of what can be found falls into several categories that don't interest me. They lack substance, are nothing more than smut fests that don't even look good, or consist of slash where the "uke" character looks more like a girl than most girls in the manga itself. *laughs* A problem that is exacerbated by the fact some manga-ka don't even draw the penises on their ukes as if to further support the illusion that they are in fact women in disguise.

Which is fine. That's not my taste, but it's the taste of plenty of other people and I'm glad they enjoy it. I just don't happen to enjoy them myself. I do have several favorite manga-ka, and several favorite manga. I figure, one by one, I'll review them as my reccs in hopes of getting other people to enjoy them like I have.
