 Great manga, with some kinky stories... November 30, 2008
Brooklyner (NYC)
If you like some "kink" with your yaoi, be sure to check this one out. It's quite rare to find such stories in the US yaoi manga market. Quite explicit, tastefully drawn and written. A previous reviewer, R.Parklane, did a great job describing the content. If you enjoyed Ashika Sakura's, Dr. Ten's or some of Shiuko Kano's works, you're likely to enjoy this book. The stories in this collection, however, range from quite sweet / romantic (e.g., the title story "Weekend Lovers") to dark / kinky, and I really liked the variety. One of my of all-time favorites.
 Enjoyable Yaoi anthology with variation. June 16, 2008

I love the main story "Weekend lovers", which is romantic, sexy and sweet. This pairing of an older, well established executive and his younger and insecure seme is very enjoyable. I cetainly like the idea of a bespectacled uke and his caring seme cook. Their love story is convincing and both characters are appealing.
The following 2 stories are much darker in tone and may not be for everyone, not my favorites anyway. The first one on obsession leading to fantasy overlapping reality with a touch of BDSM is disturbing. The 3rd story on posssession has some pretty kinky scenes. Depending on your taste you may not read these 2 again.
The 4th story on students, whereby one newbie from the city is coerced into joining a club headed by an endearing uke, is funny and refreshing.
Finally the last story which I wish is longer. This one on the aloof and stern butler and his "maid" is comical and delightful. Too bad the mangaka decides to turn this into a one shot instead of a longer story as originally planned.
I like this mangaka's lively and expressive artwork. There is of course plenty of explicit sex to satisfy.
