This is an entry I am migrating over from my other blog. I wrote this entry in Dec 2, 2006. I fell out of reading this series, but know that 801megane has this series.

Recently purchased the four translated graphic novels of this wonderful series, by Yuki Shimizu. I actually just found out that there is 11 volumes in this series, so it’ll be a while before I even finish reading the series. There’s only four volumes translated. Ack!!! The next volume is coming out in March!

Now most of the time I’m not as obsessed with BL as my other friends are, unless you count Drarry! !!! *_*… but I found this Love Mode to be something I quite enjoy.. my friends are probably going to say that I’m so hypocritical.. since I said to them that I don’t really want to waste money on a series.. I’ll be breaking my own rules for this series. Hmm there’s another book out there that I want.. hmm..

Still Love Mode is about BB (Blue Boy), a Gay Men’s dating club and with clearly defined seme and uke roles. One of the themes I find is a very big age difference between the couples. Very lolita-ish.. forgot the term for guys, but this is a term for relationship between an older partner and a younger one.

Each volumes has different couples as the main one and while I don’t really know of my liking so far I haven’t met every character yet. For a while I got interested in the series because of Takamiya and Izumi.. (they get the most action… or is it Takamiya getting the most action?) Then I was introduced to Reiji and Naoya.. (Very sweet couple….but no action yet…but quite anticipating of it!) Then I was really liking Arashi and Izumi, but I think they’re not going to mentioned in much of the upcoming volumes.

Still there’s comedy and just parts that make you exclaim out loud while reading…. ooh I’m so happy about this series!!

Here’s a picture of Arashi/Izumi….. and Takamiya/Izumi. These images are credited to Sakura-Crisis and Neonic Love is a insightful Love Mode fansite.
