Edit 4/xix/14: THERE WILL BE A Motion-picture show?!Decided to exercise a review of this after my fifth reread. :D
Doushitemo Furetakunai (translation: No touching at all/I don't desire to touch) remains as my favorite comic past Yoneda Kou and is definitely ane of my favorite M/K comics of all time. The story centers effectually Shima Toshiaki, the new employee of the systems section department of some undisclosed company, and his relationship with the department chief Togawa. Shima is an introverted gay human being who just got over an ugly human relationship with a closeted man from his previous company. Togawa is the polar contrary: loud, carefree, and very social in his dealings with others. He's also straight as a pole and has plans of eventually having his ain family unit.
While the plot itself may non win most original gay-for-y'all story of the century, peculiarly to veterans of M/K fiction, I believe the execution of it was done well. However, information technology was the creative style and characters that make DF shine among the stagnant waters of M/M comics (which is pretty much porn-without-plot it seems). Yoneda Kou has a very subtle, however poignant quality to her style that is reminiscent of some writing styles of M/M authors I very much admire and appreciate. I feel like I have to take the time to appreciate not only the quality of the actual drawings itself, but her execution of the story from 1 panel to the adjacent. I call it her "art prose" (at present I'yard just making upwardly words!). She doesn't actually focus on the sexual activity between her characters – it's in that location, just subtle and tactfully washed.
I do want to warn readers that there IS a published, translated version of DF titled "No Touching At All." It can be found on major retailers for digital download (i.e. Amazon and eManga) for purchase. I really detest to say this, simply I will be edgeless:
the official translations for this story sucks, and not in the mode that turns me on either. There are moments when conversations don't brand sense. That wouldn't have bothered me so much since this but occurs occasionally. Notwithstanding, it carried over to the more than intimate situations likewise where the moment felt ruined because of badly done translations. Afterward I bought the digital ebook version, I switched dorsum to rereading the fan-translated cloth after about halfway through and started enjoying it again. Not only that, but the digital quality of the published version leaves much to be desired (I was reading the PDF I bought from eManga on my iPad 2, and wasn't impressed). And then my recommendation: read the fan-translated version of DF online. It is well washed, understandable, and devoid of bad grammar and misspellings. You can read it online on whatsoever major "manga" hosting sites such every bit Mangafox. Here's a direct hither...more

I am a bit shocked equally to how accurate the moving picture adaptation is.
Perfection. I desire to speak Spanish now.
I am not here for this mess. I can't believe I bothered to terminate information technology. By this point, I have to admit that I like only specific manga genres and this one isn't one of them. The romance is the main focus of the story and information technology features one)invasion of privacy, 2) muffled consent, 3) gay grapheme hates himself for being gay and his lovers admits that he's straight but find the gay graphic symbol cute? also the straight calls him a wife at some point?

What confuses me about this serial is how sexuality is handled. I don't know if it'southward a matter of the Japanese culture treatment it differently than we do in the Western media (please enlighten my ignorant ass if you know more than I exercise nearly this), but as far as I understood, in this manga Togawa is never chosen anything just "straight" even though he enjoys sex with another man and even falls in love with him, and that confuses me. He should at least be called bisexual, shouldn't he? It's not even a matter of "no labels" considering at that place'southward plenty of times where Shima is openly called gay. Idk.

The story follows the tentative human relationship that blossoms betwixt co-workers Shima and Togawa and focuses on the means the two characters negotiate their new emotions for each other with their difficult past.

This is the first BL I read by Kou Yoneda and I've constitute it engaging and very well adult.The story follows the tentative human relationship that blossoms between co-workers Shima and Togawa and focuses on the ways the ii characters negotiate their new emotions for each other with their difficult past.
Although for very unlike reasons, both Shima and Togawa are scarred characters only their reactions to their painful memories couldn't exist more unlike - if Shima is shy and reserved, Togawa is rowdy and overbearing and pushes his way into his colleague's life with footling regard for the protective wall that Shima has built up effectually him.
Plainly following the traditional Yaoi pattern of the outgoing seme pursuing the more taciturn and unsocial uke , No Touching At All too breaks this mould by giving Togawa an extra veneer of endearing dubiousness and providing Shima towards the terminate of the story with a more assertive attitude.
One attribute that left me a bit perplexed merely that is, again, a rather common trope in BL stories is how Togawa is depicted from the outset as beingness a straight guy who merely happens to find himself deeply in love with another man. On the 1 paw, this attribute in yaoi manga responds to the romantic ideal of 'love conquers all' simply I detect information technology somewhat problematic in its dealing with sexual identity and gender norms.
The office life is the book is depicted in a lively and funny way, with a good eye for details and with a number of interesting secondary characters, especially Ryo Onoda who's the chief character in Yoneda's Even And then, I Will Beloved You Tenderly.
The drawings are very evocative, although probably this is non my accented favourite style. I actually love Rihito Takarai'south works, for instance, and they're visually very dissimilar from this, simply there's a beautiful sense of urgency in the way Yoneda's characters are depicted, their emotions so honest and raw and showing on their facial expressions and hunched-up trunk postures.
This is a tender and raw story, slowly called-for its style to the reader and leaving backside a trail of lingering feelings.
Information technology'due south well worth reading it.
I love how unsure and doubtful Shima is. I dear how bold and dauntless Togawa is. And they merely go and then well together.
I will frequently re-read this!
Enter boss Togawa, a man-next-door, who is kind, a smoker, and very attracted to Shima. Before they fifty-fifty know, they
WOW, a really sweetness yaoi. The fine art is also cute, very real, no chibis here. And the story... so touching. Shima is a cute, kind of emo uke. He is shy, very introvert, all due his past and a lost love (a man that was a coward, who denied his sexuality, and past doing that, denied his honey for Shima and ruined his reputation). Shima's trauma fabricated him reluctant to fall in love again.Enter boss Togawa, a human-next-door, who is kind, a smoker, and very attracted to Shima. Before they fifty-fifty know, they fell in honey. And that is why I considered this manga very real. Togawa is the seme; all his life he was straight. He meets Shima and immediately feels protective of him. There is no hot sex... merely tender sex activity IMO. And what I liked so much nigh Togawa is that he gave upward his dream of condign a father because he loved Shima then much.
All-time scenes:
- when they are on the train and Shima gets a call from his ex-lover and Togawa pick up the call and tells the guy to go out his boyfriend alone! or else, he (Togawa) is going to boot his ass, basically.
- when Togawa goes for the first fourth dimension to Shima's flat and spend the night at that place, in the same bed, only hugging him.
Sweet yaoi.

Cried a picayune towards the end. Art wise this isn't my cuppa tea only storyline isn't shabby. A biting sweet romance filled with doubts and unhappy past.
I was actually bored at the showtime, luckily the pace picks upward somewhere in the middle and so the best part was towards the end. At least the courtship was kinda fun to read. Togawa was pushy in his pursuit of Shima. On the other hand Shima who was all the same recovering from a bad breakup was shying away from Togawa's attention. He is determined to stay abroad from direct guys at all cost. Directly every bit a rod Togawa was exactly the kind of guys Shima vowed to steer articulate off.
I did detect Togawa'south sudden sexual interest towards Shima a little difficult to understand fifty-fifty if he has but discovered his allure to guys and that he is bisexual. The lack of self dubiousness on his role made me question the plotline. Perhaps Togawa'southward transition to a bi wasn't tackled well.

You lot might retrieve that this is your simple cutesy romantic kind of story, well you become the romantic part right, simply this isn't cutesy at all. In fact, I cried most of the time whilst reading this. There were some beautiful moments where I chuckled and might've blushed, merely 90% of the time, if I wasn't crying, I was crying deep inside.
I like the chemical science betwixt both characters. Togawa is like the fun and lively 1, while Shima is the silent and stubborn one. Fifty-fifty though that chemical science seems very cliche, I still can't get enough of them. I also liked Onada'due south graphic symbol, and I cannot wait to read his story.
Overall, the story is slap-up. If you like to read something heartbreakingly wonderful, give this 1 a go!

I read this one early on in my Yaoi exploration and I've read so much Yaoi since, I had forgotten it. I'm glad Maiko-Chan reminded me of how practiced it is. I re-read it a couple nights ago, but this is the commencement moment I've had a chance to review.Both couples really got me in the feels! I ached to hear about Shima's bullying at his old job. The gradual pull Togawa felt seemed organic and pretty natural (for Yaoi. Expecting full realism from Yaoi is like criticizing a cowboy book because it has horses😜).
I love the way the close downwards Shima gradually opens upward. And especially how Togawa threatens the ex-swain who fabricated Shima so miserable at work that he had to movement to a new company.
Onondaga and Deguchi's story was enjoyable, as well. I understood Onoda'south jealousy after Deguchi tells him he'southward been sleeping with other people. Deguchi confesses and Onoda asks for time. I think it was reasonable to expect the political party who confesses might "wait" for a while earlier sleeping with someone else, but information technology wasn't a dealbreaker, because they aren't actually together. (I can't stand adulterous. If there'due south cheating in a romance I will not just DNF, but if at that place's a concrete copy probably burn or shred it!)
I loved the quiet Onoda and he seems like a good match for the outgoing Deguchi.
I will no dubiety re-read this a tertiary time at some point!

Shima, starting at a new job, begins an affair with his boss; both caught in an unexpected attraction. But Shima is an extremely shy human being who is conveying the emotional scars from a previous human relationship that ended desperately and cost him his chore, so he fears his liasion with Togawa is going to have the aforementioned consequences.A sudden transfer for Togawa causes Shima to altitude himself in social club to avoid the heartbreak and the inevitable breakup he believes is presently to come. When he fully realizes Togawa's absence, Shima must take the chance and put his middle on the line or chance losing Togawa forever.
Some parts of the dialogue seemed distorted or disjointed and didn't make sense, but for the most part (and since I'd already read it online several times) DMP did a practiced job on this. I'm just hoping that that this isn't the just championship of hers they licence, since I love Yoneda-sensei's work; Kanjou Spectrum is an all time favorite! :)

Honestly, I thought I was moved less by this story than Twittering Birds merely holy shit, when the climax of this story happened (Togawa telling Shima virtually yous know what) I actually cried. It was startling. Yoneda is truly fantastic at creating these characters that you lot get fastened to and their injure becomes your hurt. I honestly didn't look to be that moved by Shima's pain but hither I was crying.Ah, I prefer Twittering Birds only this one is fantastic besides. In that location aren't any themes in here to warn almost so if you're looking to go into Yaoi manga, this is a adequately simple plot with maybe two or three sexual practice scenes? And none of them are super graphic.
Definitely a recommend. Also, patently there was a film?

[This is a joint review of No Touching At All and its spin off, Notwithstanding, I Will Love You Tenderly]Of the 'older' manga I've read that focus on the relationships between 2 men- I've certainly read older, simply these came out in a decade that features more problematic content, which is why I'one thousand referring to it as older- these two are definitely in the 'recommend' pile.
Other than the cute names for the volumes and the artwork existence a lot prettier than expected, with distinctive character designs, I really enjoyed the developing relationships and the conversations had about workplace homophobia and ostracization in Japan, although that wasn't the main focus. I found the main characters were well developed and the feelings in the relationships had a lot of depth and made the story feel grounded in reality.
They do include some questionable attitudes towards identification of sexuality-- two characters in both volumes are probably bisexual or on that spectrum, but are referred to as straight more in one case for liking women and just the man they enter the relationship with. It's complicated, but nada in either volumes always feels targeted or mean, but lacking instruction on the nuances of sexuality, and I tin only hope the mangaka has grown and has more of an agreement on sexuality now. I likewise found that placement of speech bubbles fabricated it difficult to decipher who was talking at points.

Hi once again! So I was looking for the book "Tadayoedo Shizumazu, Saredo Naki mo Sezu" by Yoneda sensei merely I couldn't find it on Goodreads... I cried. Gods you are LETHAL Yoneda sensei!!! LETHAL!! Cry like crazy, hurt like hell, love like it'due south all you can do. That's what I feel when I read your books. It hurts. You're bloody brilliant. Commends to you.

I'm a fan of Yoneda-sensei'south artwork considering it'southward very emotionally charged and characters are recognizable from each other easily. The only downside to the artwork IMO are the backgrounds. A lot of white, grey, and blackness panels are used and actual items in the groundwork are very spare.

Offset half of the BL is quite normal, just two people having a physical relationship, but the more than time they spend together, the more they care for each other. Until i of them has to move due to piece of work. And when the "intermission upwardly" happens, it just fucking destroys you.

I don't really know why but perhaps it got me emotional 'crusade we all accept our walls and loving someone ways exposing yourself. And that'due south hard, man. You fall but you trust the other person will be there to catch you, and sometimes that simply doesn't happen.
Anyway, I did relish information technology just I'd say the last chapters were my fav.

I call back the formatting can get a bit confusing and information technology'due south hard to tell who is talking sometimes, which I also had some of the same problem with Twittering Birds. Likewise all that the style the romance is written is just so good. Definitely something I'll want to reread.
