Manga: Ano Kado Wo Magatta Tokoro

This is one of my favorite works of Toko Kawai. I have not read many mangas from this author, but this one is unforgettable.

So the relationship goes around an adult and a high school student. Unknowing of the age, the Uke, who became the Seme's teacher went for weekend sex, months before knowing the real identity of the seme. After finding out that his lover is a minor, he tried to avoid him, but ended up pursued and trapped in a difficult teacher-student relationship. Somehow managed to work it out. ^_^

Kiriya Kazuaki (Uke)

 

Kazuaki used to work in an office and a lover of his boss. But when they were found out by his boss's wife, he was thrown out of the company. On thesame night, he met Kishimoto, who had gone by the hospital for his medical check-up. Kazuaki tried to kill himself by crossing a street on red light but he was saved by the boy. They were both feeling wretched at that time and found relief in each other, thus, going to bed that night.

He may be an adult but he's clumsy. Whenever he's in trouble , especially towards his previous boss lover, he would call Kishimoto. That's before he found out that he's still in high school and not as what he told him that he is a 19 year old. Eh, what can he do, he did not think he's still very young because of his mature physique.

He found out that Kishimoto is still in his high school,  when he became a substitute teacher for his school. He was mad and guilty. He tried to get rid of him but Kishimoto confessed his love and has become persistent, than ever. In reality he's in-love with the boy but the reasons behind not accepting the boy's love is not only one or two. First, he's a high school student. Second, he is almost 10 years older than him. Third, he likes older men. 

He has been encouraging Kishimoto to not give up his passion for playing the piano. He's quite popular with the girls in school as well as to the boys. He was once harassed by a P.E. teacher but was saved by his lover. He was also harassed again, by one of his boy students in the music room because the student thought he likes him, while in reality, he was just imagining Kishimoto playing the piano instead of the said student.  He has a friend Hayama, who recommended him to work at the kid's school until Spring.

 Kishimoto Yuuya (Seme)

It was last year's Winter when Kishimoto first met Kazuaki. He went to the hospital for his usual medical treatment of his left hand then on the way home, he bumped unto Kazuaki who was teary-eyed. He also saved him from killing himself. His first man experience is no other than him.

He used to be sickly up until his middle school and that's when he stopped playing the piano. Although it is his passion, he had to lie that he doesn't know how to play it because he couldn't play like before. The first person whom he showed his deteriorated hand was his teacher. He also lied to Kazuaki that he's 19 so he can see him every weekend.

Manga: Ai ni Somare ( Dye of Love )

This beautiful work by  Ruri Fujikawa is a 6 chapter manga. The first couple story I will write bios about is called, "Dye of Love", which comprised the 3 chapters of the whole volume and is also the main story. I recommend this to those who have foot fetish. ^_^

So, the story revolves around two cousins, both belong to families whose businesses are in the fashion and clothing material industry.

Ai (Uke)

Ai belongs to a family of Kimono Dyers. He used to take care of himself until he met his cousin Tokiwa, (22 years old at that time) when Tokiwa kun decided to study in Japan.

His mother died when he was younger. When his love for his half-French cousin started? It was a love-at-first sight. He confessed to him yet his love wasn't returned. Six years have passed and Tokiwa came back only to ask him to make a Red Dye for him.  Seeig him constantly going out with women, Ai told Tokiwa kun that he will not make that red dye. So one day, Tokiwa visited him and asked what he can do to make him make it. Ai non-hesitantly told him that he wants him to be his lover while he's in Japan in exchange for the red dye cloth. Tokiwa asked him to change his mind but Ai persisted to be his lover. Their supposed - to - be - pretend - lover relationship will go on until the red dye is finished.

He loves 'Toraya buns', a Japanese sweet which Tokiwa fed him during his visit. ^_^

His profession is thesame to what his generational family do - a Kimono Dye Maker. His favorite color is sunset red which is the color he made for Tokiwa. He is always reminded of his love for him whenever he sees a sunset. This was the time that Tokiwa carried him on his back (piggy-ride) when he sprained or cramped his foot while visiting his mother's grave. When he realized his love for him is strong and true, they were both taking a path back home during the sunset...

 Tokiwa (Seme)

(One of the handsome semes I have known.)

Tokiwa is a cousin of Ai kun from his mother side. His father is French and he grew up in France. He came to study in Japan when he was 22 and that's where he stayed for 3 years with Ai kun's family. His father is a famous fashion designer, Claude Chardin. He is known to be a playboy but it's his cover-up for his feelings towards his younger cousin, Ai. He admitted later in the story that he had to refuse Ai's confession and feelings because he was afraid he will destroy the boy's future. So after 6 years, he returned to Japan to ask his cousin to make him a Red Dye.

He is the first love of Ai. He accepted the pretended-lover-relationship they had until the red dye is completed. But when it was completed, he confessed to Ai and did not want to let him go.
