 Sorry I took the chance May 23, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
The bookstore I frequent was running low on yaoi so I saw this and decided to take the chance because I couldn't remember any reviews about it. I am sorry I took the chance. There was little that appealed to me. It was a compilation of many stories some so non-interest catching I didn't even catch that it had moved on to another storyline. One storyline in particular was very creepy and was about a dentist that liked to cause pain. If you have ever seen the anime "SpeedGrapher" and remember the demented dentist, well I was just thinking that on the next page the dentist would have instruments coming out of his back. Yuck. I did like the title story, and the one about the tattoo artist but other then that it was a waste. There were several intimate scenes not very graphic and none were explicit.
There's Better Out There December 16, 2007
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
I can't say this is the best yaoi/ bl anthology out there. There are four stories in "Melted Love", and none of them are developed enough to actually keep the reader's interest- in fact, at two separate points you cannot tell that the author is on to a different story.
And as for the art? Just plain bad. The proportions are all wrong and the whole thing looks like the work of a twelve- year- old. You're better off spending your money on "Lies and Kisses" by Masara Minase.
 Six delightful and distinct stories September 30, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have a great time reading this anthology. The main story, Melted Love, is a sexy one in which Juuzou, a popular model/actor, used to having his own way meets more than his match in an older Mitsuya, a cosmetic surgeon. Theirs is a delightful romance as Juuzou soon feels that too much freedom from his lover might not be the best thing, especially when Mitsuya's past lovers are supposedly the cute ones.
Lonely Stubbornness is hilarious as a geek is led around the leash by his rich and arrogant lover. Could not blame the arrogant seme as the geek did ignore the poor guy for 3 months. Their mutual female friend's active advisory role adds to the fun.
"Agony and Ecstasy of Dentist Nakagawa" is kinky and laugh out loud funny as the good dentist gets high from inducing pain in his patients. He finally meets his match when he falls for his young patient whom he tortured years ago.
"False Rumor" is another hilarious one with very engaging dialogue. Kimura has been looking after Fumihito for 20 years as Fumihito is what he terms an "endearing imbecile". Fumihito is now the director of his family's company. Kimura is engaged as his company's lawyer but still continues to look after the "imbecile". It is time for Fumihito's arranged marriage and Kimura is more than happy to finally washes his hands off his friend but it is certainly not what Fumihito and his female secretaries wish.
Unparalled Service is an amusing one as Morio, a hotel's popular chief concierge, finally delivers the perfect service to one customer who has been trying to get into his pants. The ending is priceless.
The serious one is "Tatto" about a tatto artist who takes possession of a poor but beautiful young man from an ex-Samurai family by marking him with his masterpiece. This has an underlying sadness to it as the story takes place during the transition era when Samurais were stripped off all their glories.
The artwork is pleasing. This is a most enjoyable read. However, with the exception of Melted Love, it would be better if there is more romance in the other stories, which is the reason for the "4 stars" rating. Still this is a great addition to my Yaoi collection.
