### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Milestone Collection and Study of a Homoerotic Visual Style that's as Sexy as it is Exhaustively Informative
*by E***D on August 15, 2016*

First, if you are already into this form of Japanese erotic story telling, it is a beautiful collection of varied styles that explores the intricacies of the individual characters and the narratives of their unique identities that the word "gay" simply can't completely encompass. It showcases a number of major artists of the form, engages in a very strong scholarly examination of the genre, features wonderful introductions/interviews with each artist (outlining everything from their personal stories, their understanding of their sexuality within a sexual community, and a very lucid study of their aesthetics), virtually censorship free (very rare for gay visual eroticism coming from Japan, the liberty of which is largely due to the support and appreciation shown by the editors to the artists and the artistic merit of their work), includes a very brief but thoroughly researched history of male same-sex desire in Japan (from far back in the country's past to the present day), and contains content that just wonderfully hot.For anyone not familiar with this art style but interested in becoming more acquainted with it on an extensively large number of levels, this collection of what is usually called in "Bara" in English is without question the best place you could start. As mentioned before, one of the great elements of this volume is how it is both an assemblage of different approaches to a particular genre of homo-eroticism through sampling so many talents and also a fine work of scholarship. I'm using the term "bara" for convenience's sake, but the term's usefulness in describing this art style (which I will say focuses on larger men, ranging from men with more-to-love type figures to hyper-muscled types and much more). The artists featured are in so many ways taste makers who gave articulations to desires that certainly existed but were/are not given much attention in many cultures because of cultural preoccupations with certain bodily "ideals." One way you can tell the editors knew what they were doing is by looking at the reverence that is shown to Gengoroh Tagame, who is the central figure behind this art movement and also the inspiration for the historical and aesthetic study that structures the analytical sections (Tagame is also a first-class historian of sexuality). It's hot, smart, a great introduction for the curious, and an invaluable volume for fans and advocates of this very diverse and bodily affirming style of illustrated sexual expression.Just to be clear, this is a great collection of very sexy short manga narratives. That alone, aside from all of the other wonderful things this great book achieves, makes owning the text a very seductive and raw investment.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Facinating & Uninhibited Look At Gay Manga Masters.
*by K***E on January 2, 2017*

So glad this collection was translated to English - hopefully, there'll be many more to follow. The format of the book, in that you start reading from the traditional, western "back page" to the "front" & then read each page from right to left, took a little adjustment, but was well worth the effort. The profiles of each artist also deeped the appreciation of the skill & meaning behind their work.If you have ANY interest in this sort of material, I would HIGHLY recommend the purchase!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Excellent Primer on Gay Manga
*by M***N on January 9, 2015*

I'm so happy to see gay manga start making its way to U.S. audiences. This book is a great primer, providing an introduction to a variety of artists, each with their own style and vision. Previously, non-Japanese speakers have only been able to access this material through fan sites, which don't compensate the artists and provide a poor quality product. This book is refreshing contrast, which quality printing, stellar translations, and artist introductions that really give you a better understanding of the where this is coming from.
