Temperature Rising

Title: Temperature Rising

Author: Souya Himawari

Media: Just Manga. Happiness Recommended is technically the first in the 'series', however Temperature Rising is strong enough as a stand alone.

English Release: Yes. It's available from Waterstones.

Summary:

The description of this novel makes it sound dirtier than it really is. Prostitution is a feature here, but Temperature Rising is actually quite light on the palette. Some of the scenes are steamy and the general storyline is a little overused. This manga sits somewhere in the middle ground of hard and softcore.

Finally, if you like your school settings, then this a definite read.

Sukisyo!

Title: Sukisyo

Artist:

Author:

Status: Complete (12 Episode Series)

English Release: None.

Summary:

Different websites claim the beginnings of Sukisyo happened in different orders. A BL game that spawned a TV series and short Manga, or the other way around, Sukisyo has a fair amount of material to keep fans busy for a time. Apart from the games, there isn't anything here too disturbing for light yaoi fans and for hardcore viewers Sukisyo can be a refreshing tickle. However, the lack of action in the bedroom department left me feeling frustrated and often shouting at the monitor for more.

The Review

Summary:


Come prepared. Okane ga Nai is not afraid to cross certain lines and as a result may leave some people cold. However, for those with the stomach to face it, Okane ga Nai is one saucy little manga. The Drama CDs are well worth a listen (good headphones are a requirement, ladies) and the manga has some quality yaoi scenes. 
Readers, you have been warned!
