Love Mode, Vol. 2 (Love Mode) 
asked by willie on November 22, 2006 7:07 PM
With Takamiya and Izumi off having fun, what’s B&B owner Aoe Reiji supposed to do except take matters into his own hands? His gay escort business is booming but a man needs more than money to keep him warm on cold winter nights. After leaving his cheating girlfriend, Reiji's life changes dramatically when he takes in Naoya, a cute high school boy with a troubled past. Will the two of them put aside their stubborn bickering long enough to realize just how much they need each other? Between this budding romance and sizzling Christmas Eve fireworks between Takamiya and Izumi, the passion is really heating up!

I enjoy Reiji's and Naoya's story immensely, which is much more than just a "man-meet-boy" love story. Surprisingly Reiji and Naoya is a compatible couple, and to have Reiji, the tough guy, treating Naoya so "sweetly" does provide touching yet comical moments. Reiji was introduced in Vol 1 and for me, this interesting character outshone the 2 protagonists in Vol 1. Vol 2 featuring Reiji finding his love is simply a delightful read. Shimizu is amazing, expressing Reiji's and Naoya's feelings for each other so well that I do not mind the missing explicit sex scenes between the couple. Hopefully these will happen soon in this series. I have to admit I was not too impressed with Vol 1 but Vol 2 changes my mind completely. I now understand why Love Mode is a popular long running Yaoi series in Japan. Looking forward to Vol 3 which should be just as good as it concentrates on another interesting character who seems to have a tormented past.
