When the two men meet again in Italy, it is the start of a spectacular love story. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - its fun readI first saw the anime version of the first part .So I was curious whats the differnce between the two.The anime took abit of liberty in changing things a little, giving the characters more depth but of course taking out the explicit bed scenes.I was surprised that the manga version was shorter. But in the manga ,the story continued ,developing the plot and their relationship . I like that.And yes a lot of explicit sex illustrations. Four Star because...There are times Ranmaru looks abit ...

The book consists of a very nice dust jacket and a color insert of the second story's couple, The Love Guide. The binding is nice and it includes a cultural reference section towards the end of the book. Overall, this is a great buy, and the quality from this ... Read More Rating: - Another highly recommended manga by Ayano YamaneLet me start by saying that I especially like those yaoi titles in which the male characters actually look male. I think this is part of the reason why I absolutely loved Yamane's Crimson Spell, so much so that I even ordered the second volume in the series from Japan, despite the fact that I can't read Japanese! I loved it nonetheless. And Yamane's Foreign Love Affair also has these undeniably male characters, in addition to the tender romance, the gripping story, some very funny scenes and stunningly ... Read More Rating: - Gorgeous men, sexy love, fabulous artwork. What more could a Yaoi fan ask for !Ayano Yamane's artwork is just beautiful and her men are so gorgeous and sexy.

Ranmaru forced into a marriage to strenghten the Yakuza families ties is an appealing character and he sure looks alluring in his yukata. As for Al, he is such a stud and the perfect cool and sexy seme. Theirs is a amusing and sweet romance. There are some heavy and dark moments mid-way when ... Read More |
