Kayoing gladly obliges to teach him through a particularly steamy sex scene. Initially shocked by the things he sees in his new job, Ozawa sets out to be the best manga editor that he can be. I give it a 5 out of 5 and implore you to go buy this immediately if you want to call yourself a yaoi fan. Afraid that he has angered Kakyoin enough that the artist will quit the publishing company, Ozawa goes to Kakyoin's apartment to help complete the drafts in any way he can. As one of his first assignments,Ozawa is asked to pick up a manuscript from the popular mangaka Sakurako Kakyoin. I liked the manga so much, however, that I bought it for myself the first chance I got. I was thoroughly interested in the story, the characters, the art, and the technical aspect of Love Recipe volume 1. While in Kyoto readers not only get a very hot couple of sex scenes,.
In the second section of the manga, Ozawa is attempting to learn how to match fonts to a scene in a manga. I first read Love Recipe in high school by borrowing it from a friend. The art is superb and possibly the best consistently and stylistically that I've seen.The sex scenes are certainly steamy, but they are also believable and emotionally compelling (Not to mention they are totally the right amount of graphic :) ). The plot is interesting and intricate. While in an outdoor meeting to discuss the manga, Ozawa asks Kakyoin to redo what he's already done.
but also some very good technical information on background pictures in manga.The final section show Ozawa making his next few attempts at being an editor to Kakyoin. Overall I can't really say anything bad about this manga. Love Recipe is a manga about MAKING MANGA, so built into the storyline, the readers get totally interesting technical information as well. Later, impressed by Ozawa's diligence and enamored with the young man's determination, Kakyoin arranges for Ozawa to be his full time editor.The third section of Love Recipe begins with Ozawa thoroughly bungling his first attempt as a new editor. The characters are totally relatable, especially Ozawa as he humorously stumbles his way through the insanity that is yaoi publication. Love Recipe volume 1 is the tale of Tomonori Ozawa, a brand new editor for a boy's love publication.
Add on a more emotional, yet equally steamy sex scene and Love Recipe vol1 ends with a bang.I was thoroughly impressed with Love Recipe Volume 1. The fourth section of Love Recipe deals with a research trip to Kyoto that Kakyoin plans more for sex than for research. He arrives at the artist's apartment only to find that the mangaka is not only male but needs physical inspiration to have his manuscript done before the deadline. Given the assignment to learn the meaning of "Moe", Ozawa finds himself holed up in Kakyoin's library with an extensive yaoi collection.
This was one of them and I read it right after "Only the Ring Finger Knows." That one was nice and sweet with nothing but some kissing and a lot of innuendo talk. Yes, he's 22, but it seems awfully brainwashy.
Umeda from Hana-Kimi, which made me LOL), but I didn't like the hardcore sex stuff. I liked the characters (and there's one drawing of the manga artist that looks just like Dr.
I've been reading a lot of shonen and shojo manga over the past few years and then I saw some listings for yaoi doujinshi on ebay when I was looking for Yu-Gi-Oh cards. Finally towards the end he confesses his love to his 'sensei' and this makes it simply creepy.
Guess I'll stick with shojo stuff. I didn't want to buy those but got interested in the concept of yaoi so I checked a few books out of the library.
But "Love Recipe" is disturbing to me because the main character is taken against his will repeatedly despite his protests, cries of pain and denial (though it's hard to tell if he's speaking or just thinking the protests).
So, it's hard to find a good BL graphic novel these days.Love Recipe, however, was wonderful. it's like when you date someone and in the first few weeks they say the same thing. While it won't be dying out anytime soon (thank goodness).
well, pretty fast, I didn't mind it so much. I figure, over time, it will become true. I kind of don't take it seriously.
Yaoi has gotten way too popular for it's own good. While the sudden love at first sight was. Who knows, maybe in book 2.Anyway, I'm very picky about my manga, and I think this one is worth a read.
I have to say that once trusted publishing companies have been bringing out weak, poorly rendered, or sloppy work and proudly selling it. While the character designs are a little typical, the story is pretty funny (especially for those who are artists themselves).
It would have been cute if this was one of the first manga's I've read, but after 60+ or so. it was over before it barly began. I found it fairly rushed, so rushed that you could barely tell where the hotter scenes began and ended, the character development was losy, and when it did get angusty.
If you're a vetran in the field, you'll find it desprite and undeveloped. Near the end the uke goes on about how there should be more emotion in the manga his seme is writing, instead of just jumping into the sex, where that is what's happening in this very book, so quickly in fact that you barely know it's happening till it's already over. If you're new to the yaoi manga world, then yes, you'd probably find this cute and enjoyable.
I didn't like it. this wasn't worth it. as I did.
The entire book is about a very uke "straight" male hired by a Yaoi manga company, and he encounters two problems in the way of him becoming an editor: what font to use in the mangas and what "moe" is: both of course, he learns from sex with his seme artist.
I just love those bunny ears. The male Yaoi artist, Kakyoin, is one sexy and appealing seme while Ozama is such an endearing and adorable uke as he earnestly inspires Kakyoin to meet his deadlines. Quite a few entertaining female side characters here, including one very demanding and voluptuous chief editor.The lively and cute artwork, with some outrageously funny caricartures, is a winner. I will keep mine short as earlier reviews are very comprehensive. Very glad to add this one in my collection. It is hilarious, engaging and just so disarmingly cute. This Yaoi featuring the Yaoi manga publishing world has a most original and refreshing plot. Very lovable characters here.
