Just My Luck (Yaoi)
9 journalers for this copy...
Got in a box of other goodies from my good friend Pillywiggin!
Condition: Very good
I've read this before but it's been a while. I really like Matsumoto Temari for her art in Kyou Kara Maou!.
Just My Luck: The relationship happened too fast for me, I'm more into the wait. I did like the little twist though.
Mechanism of Love: I really liked this one.
School Uniforms and You: It was okay besides that Sugiura looked exactly like Yuuri from Kyou Kara Maou! (including the school uniform). I liked how Ogasawara realized he liked Sugiura for more than his uniform.
The Rumored Couple: Too shooort. Oneshots like this can be okay for a quick and cute read, but I prefer more substance.
Yeah, so overall I gave it 3 stars at Goodreads though 2 might have sufficed.
This may go in the manga/graphic novel bookbox. If not, it's going up on PaperBackSwap.

Journal Entry 2 by Keitorin at Manga / Graphic Novels, A Bookbox -- Controlled Releases on Wednesday, March 16, 2011
Released 13 yrs ago (3/16/2011 UTC) at Manga / Graphic Novels, A Bookbox -- Controlled Releases
CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
Put in the manga/graphic novel bookbox! Hope whoever reads it next enjoys it.
An unintentionally hilarious work. Will be re-released into the graphic novel bookbox.
In the Graphic Novel Bookbox to be handed off to AKSarah tomorrow.
got from manga/graphic novel book box.
i agree with the general consensus, which is that the first (and longest) story is the weakest of the bunch and that the android story is the best. a decent read, but not a keeper.

Sent off in my Graphic Novel/Manga bookbox.
I'm leaving this in the box because I've already read it, but wanted to add my comments. While I'm fond of yaoi and "hot for teacher" stories, the tales in this book seem to push the squick-factor a bit far; that is, the teacher in the main story appears to be very much older than the student (though in fact they may only be a few years apart), and the dynamic between them smacks a bit of "lonely kid letting himself be seduced just to get attention". Still, allowing for the genre, the artwork's fun and some of the character interactions are well done. I liked the second story best, as it features two characters who are on more equal footing - even if one of them is an android {wry grin}.
When a good luck charm is no longer
a cereal or a rabbits foot but
a kiss
you hold love in the palm
of your hand like a rose

Back into the bookring box.
This book enjoyed a brief stop in San Jose, California before continuing its travels in AKSarah's Graphic Novel/Manga bookbox!
What? Only one Yaoi in the box? ; P
Glad to know that this is the artist of the Kyou Kara Maou fame because I've watched a few episodes of the anime and it's hilarious.

I assume this is an older work of Matsumoto Temari because it just is so-so. Very forgettable plot, with the exception of the android story. And the teacher/student thing is a bit too much for me.
