Bond of Dreams, Bond of Love, Vol. 3 (3)

One of my most favorite series ever. Have read them multiple times, and will read them over and over again. Best money on a book I've ever spent.

How can you leave new hanging that that, Sensei! Holy Cats! Thank you for carrying Sensei's work here. It makes me happy that I can support Sensei Anna her work. I look forward to more purchases!

This is one of my favorite BL stories! There is actual character development in both leading characters and its still super sexy and sweet! A recommendation to all yaoi lovers!

Yaya Sakuragi never disappoints. This story is well written, the art is good (as always), and she develops her characters well. I can't wait to read the rest of her works. Get this series! You won't be disappointed.

What a refreshing approach to teenage love. No sex yet in this volume - just dream sequences. All incomplete. Ryo is so oblivious to his own feelings and responses to Ao - he has to be a comedian. There are so many things going on at the same time as the romance, it's like a soap opera. Can't wait to see the progress in Volume 4!

I love the art and the story behind these two characters are cute, funny, and not fast.

One amazing book!

Cute story. Loved it. Ordered all 4 volumes. I definitely recommend if you're looking for some character development and a very romantic little tale.

I'm a Yaya-sensei fan so I'm a bit biased, but the book was wonderful. Artwork is beautiful. And, the story is just so sweet. ^^ If you've already bought the first 2 volumes I don't see why you would stop there. x3

I put in some extra hours just to buy the whole series warning this one ends in a cliffhanger! Adorable story

Love this series and any one that is Yaoi fan will love this story.

My sister likes it

It's a cute story. I enjoyed it very much.

I read all four volumes in this manga back to back so at this point they are all blurring a little to me. The point is the general story and how it played out. This was my second m/m manga and I'll be honest, there is something about these that are enthralling. I wonder if f/f would be the same. The drawing left a little to be desired since Ao had huge eyes and a girlish figure. I actually find that incredibly off-putting. Why can't two guys look like normal guys? Why does one have to look like a girl? On top of that Ryomei was buff, tall, and a total guy's guy. I was really bummed by that since they were so stereotypical. At the same time I loved how the author approached the romance. It wasn't 'hop in the bed' type of romance which was great. They were friends. They wrestled with feelings. They kissed and tried a date. They struggled. They discussed sex. They had sex. Etc. Etc. The author actually took the time in four volumes to convince me Ryomei and Ao were perfect for each other. By the time they slept together in volume 4, I was absolutely riveted. There were some under-developed characters in this story such as Ao's brother, Ryomei's cousin (sister? I don't remember), and Ryomei's best friend. Also there was some weird undertone with Ao's best friend who was clearly gay but I was unsure who he had a crush on. It was confusing and the majority of the side characters were unnecessary other than allowing dialogue. This was an enjoyable foray into the popular m/m manga category but unfortunately the library has no categorization of them and very few options other than the two series I've read. It's sad. I recommend this series for the romance and for the representation of a healthy sexual m/m romance. I was really excited to read this one and can't wait to find something similar. Any recommendations? 3 Stars Originally Published 2008-2011 4 Volumes Provided by--the Library

~3.5/5 [More of my reviews are available on my blog, Geeky Reading, to which there's a link on my profile.] (Contains minor spoilers.) This series is getting rather more enjoyable the more I read. I felt really bad for Ao in this volume. The poor sweetie is just having a really hard time, not feeling like anyone really wants him. He needs to talk with his Grandma, and I really hope that happens in the next volume. When things work out between him and Ryo, he’s also going to need to talk with his mom. I would like to actually meet his mom, too, as she seems like she could be a really sweet lady, who just wants to be close to her sons. Plus, I’m sure things will work out, especially since I see something happening between Hako and Aka. Ao and Ryo seems like things are finally going to be working out in the next volume, which I had no doubt of, but still. Ryo took way too long (although probably a reasonable amount of time, really). And I just felt so bad for Ao, feeling like neither his Grandma or Ryo wants him, and then when that date went so badly… His face when he’s upset just makes me want to cry along with him. I’m really wondering what’s going on/going to happen with Shunpei. I still love Shuji and Chii, they are such a cute father/daughter pair. They’re still very much my favorite. I just smile every time they show up. I am rather excited to read the next volume, as I’m looking forward to seeing how the story is going to wrap up.

An excellent series of books that I have read a number of times. Nice to have a series not explicit but it's annoying that body parts aren't drawn when characters finally come together, I'd rather they suggested the action than just leave that area blank. Need to read whole series for story to flow, it's a slow build, but worth it.

Excellent item

Yaya Sakuragi é uma das minhas mangakas preferidas, ela te envolve a tal ponto que é quase impossível não se apegar com os personagens. Ela mostra suas fraquezas, seus defeitos e suas qualidades num enredo redondinho - sem furos, sem dúvidas, todos os pontos trabalhados. Eu já li muito yaoi nessa vida, mas esse mangá sempre me surpreende com a normalidade em que tudo se coloca. E essa normalidade, essa rotina, essa simplicidade sem pressa de se resolver... tudo ao sem tempo, em yaoi, é algo que não se encontra com facilidade. Amo esse mangá, e recomendo com toda a certeza.

Ich liebe diese Mangaka. Ihre Mangas sind einfach einzigartig. Ich mochte die Story von diesem Manga wieder sehr, auch wenn der Altersunterschied zwischen den beiden Hauptcharakteren doch recht hoch ist. Ao ist 17 und ist in Ryomei verliebt. Ryomei ist Anfang oder Mitte zwanzig und Priester eines Shinto Shrines. Ao hat Ryomei seine Gefühle bereits in den Vorgängerbände gestanden, aber Ryomei will sich seine eigenen Gefühle nicht eingestehen. In diesem Band fängt er langsam an darüber nachzudenken, ob eine Beziehung nicht doch funktionieren könnte. Die Zeichnungen sind niedlich. Bisher reicht kein anderer Manga für mich an diesen Stil heran. Aber viel wichtiger ist, dass die Geschichte einen wirklich emotional berührt. Das passiert mir nicht oft bei Mangas, aber Yaya Sakuragi hat dies bisher mit jedem Manga, den ich von ihr gelesen habe, geschafft. Ich kann sie und ihre Mangas voll empfehlen. Besser als dieser Manga hat mir nur die Spin-Off Reihe zu dieser hier gefallen - „Hide and Seek“. Warum es hier das Mature-Rating gibt verstehe ich aber nicht ganz. Hier passiert gar nichts sexuelles, außer ein paar Gedanken und Träumen, aber auch da ist alles nicht explizit. Meine Wertung: 5+ von 5 Sternen

Arrivato in ottime condizioni
