Poor Grampa.

This is one of my favorite compilation volumes, though the recent Denki release beats it (you can't beat that new cover and the bonus comic).
Nii-san is a riot, especially when he makes that face ("HMM? YOU SAY SOMETHING?" lawl), and this manga has the funniest example of classical conditioning I've ever seen.
I want to hug Grampa, especially after he spills his tea. <3
Kamui and Yato's story is very touching. It seemed dumb of Kamui to lose trust in Yato so quickly, so I think he deserved his punishment in the first chapter. Depending on the phase of moon I'm under, the second chapter makes me sniffle. Poor Yato, I understand his curse but the violence in this chapter was a little too much.

this is quite a dissapointment since i really love all her other works. this is bland and quite forced. even the old fav like blood sex and cute old man do nothing. but of course im comparing this to her other stuff but actually in relation to yaoi genre as a whole it is still better. so, should still give a try
cool

Generally the art was really good, and manga-ka is really good at drawing male bodies. Stories were good too, they just lacked development, but well, they are all oneshot afterall...
Other than that:
"Denki" was a nice story, it was cute that the seme was the older one but looked and acted uke-ish, and the uke was actually looking like the seme,seeming "scary", but actually so ...uke xD
It kinda lacked relationship development, since it was short, but well, everything was expressed well and I enjoyed reading it. I just think that It would be better as a shonen-ai instead of a yaoi, since it was kinda rushed.
Like I said, it was mostly cute.
"I don't wanna hold on you" was good too, though the seme-uke roles were "reversed" again. Older one being weak and uke, the young one being dominant and all. Masato's way of acting like a mother was kind of ... weird though. Well It was expected from him, but considering their relationship with Tatsuya... xD
And I have to say thay Tatsuya is really good-looking xD Especially when he's sleeping, on that I have to agree with Masato So It was good despite Masato's situation disturbing me a bit.
"Reason for Desire"... well Yuuichi is definitely beautiful. It was probably my fave because of Yuuichi xD It was fun to read. And Natsume was really cute too. xD I'd enjoy it if It was a longer story. With more development and chapters xD Still being short made it cute in a way... Am I creepy? ...
And finally, "Secret Knife"... I think It was really good. The reason of Yato not letting people get near him, and not minding a shinigami touch him made sense. But him being completely nice after was kinda weird. Still liked it.
None was too impressing again, but I really enjoyed reading all.

The other chapters were cute and fun to read, but the story that really captured me was 'Secret Knife' and its sequel, 'Rose and Knife'. I really love the concept of an emotionless killer trying to redeem himself and suffering for his past sins; what I love even more is the killer's relationship with the handsome Shinigami - they make such an adorable couple! It's also great how things in this story don't just end all neat and happily; there's still so much angst to deal with even though there are happy moments

These are engaging oneshots with plots that are dealt with uniquely! I love how I don’t feel incomplete after reading them like how other oneshots seem to be- leaving behind a lack of satiety. Some are tragic + romantic, funny & others simply adorable! & of course the illustrations were pretty, in an artistic way which pays attention to full dimensions & details. Definitely enjoyed reading them & to be honest I would not get tired of the characters if they appeared again in future stories ^_^

Again, much love for Naono-sensei. She's the only yaoi mangaka I know who can incorporate old men and fantasy seamlessly into funny, sweet, cute stories. This is the first collection of her oneshots I've read, and they're every bit as good as her longer works. "Secret Knife" and "Rose + Knife" were a bit bloodier than I'm used to for her, but still good. ^^; Also, don't forget to read the author's notes and comic strip at the end. Funny ending to a great story. x)
moe! kinda.

hahaha, although it sounds kinda cheesy/boring story, at least the title story, it was actually a really good read! the denki story was adorable and funny, with the whole "my brother's forcing me to look like a punk!" storyline, and the jealous lightning eeee! moe!
the second story/title story is one of my lesser favourites, but still fairly amusing.
the third story is ADORABLE and i absolutely loved it, perhaps my favourite of all these stories. yay... in fact, i wish this wasn't just a one shot and the author would make a whole series out of it... ah well. hahaha, the gramps makes for good jokes.
the fourth and fifth stories, the knife stories, and more supernatural than the others. Very dramatic and entertaining.
Overall, a very amusing/adorable series, and the art is good too.
