In Volume 2, Katou and Iwaki have moved in together in Iwaki's tiny flat. Just as they are adjusting to living together, and the unexpected publicity it generates, tragedy strikes Iwaki's family. Can their fragile relationship survive? More hot sex, the addition of more secondary characters, and even more development to the two protagonists. Highly recommended! ( )

Translated and sold in the US as "Embracing Love" by the publishers Be Beautiful, "Haru o Daiteita" has long been a fan favorite when yaoi enthusiasts bought their manga in Japanese. The storyline, of two porn stars in love, is laughingly improbable, but Yuuka Nitta makes it work because her protagonists are so very vital, with their own quirks, issues and passions. This manga is also very very HOT. ( )
