Journal Entry 1 by Keitorin from Cookeville, Tennessee USA on Tuesday, March 8, 2011
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.

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.

Journal Entry 10 by wingGoryDetailswing at Nashua, New Hampshire USA on Thursday, October 4, 2012
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

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.

Journal Entry 15 by wingAzukiwing at Miami, Florida USA on Tuesday, May 6, 2014
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.
