Plot Summaries:

An anthology of short stories. 1) The title story is about an anal-retentive salaryman and his slovenly subordinate, who fall in love (the subordinate is seme). Hilarious, and sort of Kizuna-ish. 2) "NOT READY?! Sensei" is about a pair of mangaka, one of whom is gay and writes yaoi and the other of whom is engaged to a woman and writes shounen. This one was recently updated by Kodaka and may still be ongoing. Also hilarious. 3) "Magic Hands" (title varies) is about a boy with a thing for his proctologist. (Seriously.) PWP. 4) "Tagatame ni Kane wa Naru" is a completely out-of-place dark tale about a good priest, his evil brother, and the sweet innocent younger priest caught in the middle of them. Includes lots of religious angst and bloody rape. Probably thrown in to fill space, but it really jars the continuity of the anthology. - reviewed by Nora

Remarks:

It's probably best to ignore the dark violent story, and just consider this a comedic anthology. Maybe 80% of the two books are comedy. - reviewed by Nora
