Invisible Love is an anthology packed with tales of unrequited love all over the map of the heart! The first tale of beautiful men romancing it up is with Senou, a driven business type. He keeps giving a manly shoulder to his pal Inori to cry on each time the laddy gets dumped on his butt. After one night of drinking, Inori hears something he can’t believe from Senou’s pouty lips. And he just has to follow up on that tempting offer! He acts on it and an unusual love affair ensues with hot nights of heavy sex and confusing morning afters. Sweet and tender, sexy and passionate. This isn’t some rough and tumble but tender confessions for sweethearts filled with erotic nights! “Don’t Let Go” is when a retailer gets a new employee. Good looking Aki immediately falls for the trainee he’d like to give a whole different set of lessons to. After all, who wouldn’t fall for the ever so pretty Goichi. But when a third person is an uninvited guest into this slowly evolving ménage a deux, this third wheel isn’t welcome but sparks fly. It all comes to one passionate heated night when the stores close, the lights go down, and the men stay in for one sexy evening! “Limited Luck” sees Kure the biz man meet up with his old school friend Hoshizono after eight long years. Seems Hoshizono has some naughty secrets involving his career and extra-curricular activities. But it could be upright Kure who gives Hoshino the biggest surprise of his life! In “There’s no Break From Love” Shouji worries about his slightly younger lover Shimazawa. He worries he’ll lose the man he loves so Shimazawa finds a very hot and racy way to reassure him! Things get just as heated in “In a Box With You”. Two boys in an all boys’ dorm makes for a bit of subterfuge and a lot of seduction for the kind of dense but pretty boy who might trip into true love if he doesn’t watch his step. The story that took my breath away and caused heartfelt sighs all around was “The Warmth of Your Hand”. Two young men, Takeru and Yuki, hook up. They’re both sweet guys. But a tragedy on a snow covered mountain years ago might lead to trauma in the present – and totally tug the heart strings. The illustrations are sexy. The manga is filled to overflowing with handsome guys, pretty ones too, and some racy scenes in nearly every story. There’s sweet moments in each tale guaranteed. Speaking of the art, there’s a bonus bit of extra art at the end of the book in the afterword section. I would love to read a story about those bishonen!
IN SUMMARY:
Invisible Love is a yaoi anthology that’s sweet and erotic. Lots of eye candy and sweet romance. |
