review 1: Maybe it was simple nostalgia or my familiarity with love hotels (hey, they're cheap accommodation and offered a bathtub I didn't have in my apartment), but I really liked this story. The characters are intriguing, the pacing is perfect, and I'm itching to read the next volume. I've only once ever seen a young cute guy in a love hotel office (usually it's old men or middle-aged women), but the whole point of those offices with their little windows are privacy and discretion, so it's not like I'd have had an opportunity to get all chummy with the staff. It does make it awkward when you have to bang on the window to wake the owner up at 8 PM while his dog runs over him barking though! I loved the retro themed-rooms in the hotel. I miss some of that silliness in my day-to-day... more life that is a given if you live in Asia, especially in Japan or Korea.
review 2: Method acting - you adopt a style/character and you become that. So Shiro who just pretends to be a uke actual ends up...end up. *snicker*Any whooo, Shiro is a model A student at a prestigious boy school however he is on a scholarship so his grades are everything. He lives in an antiquated love hotel with his mother and little brother called - Castle Mango. Their father had passed away early and both boys are starving for male companionship. Enter a AV production company with a director who's first impression is that Shiro is a porn actor so he pulls down his pants and declares him *average.* Needless to say, Shiro doesn't like him.His little brother latches onto Togame as a mentor but Shiro accuses the director of being a child predator and tells him to stay away from the little guy. When his brother goes out of his way to hang with Togame Shiro goes and does the drastic. Togame ends up in a drunk stupor at the hotel and Shiro blackmails him into an exclusive relationship after pretending Togame took advantage of him the night before.Shiro thinks he's saving his little brother. He intends to string Togame along as the non-boyfriend but the strength of the directors arms brings back warmth that has been missing in his life...waiting for book 2 less
