Product Description
Even though Azuma's "spectacle fetish" is infamous, guys are out of the question, and Sorachi is definately way out of the question - he's too serious for him to even carry on a decent conversation with. One day, however, Azuma finds Sorachi asleep without his glasses, and can't help himself from kissing him! Glasses may be the thing that attracts Azuma to Sorachi... or is it?

 Great Read August 26, 2008
The book came to me quickly, and of course was in excellent condition. The main story itself was romantic and wonderful, but not in an over-the-top or cheesy way, which made it perfect for me. The artwork is gorgeous, but in a couple of the later one-shot stories it seems the characters moved a little too fast without much reason. Don't let that detract from buying this manga though, it's fantastic!
love at first sight December 7, 2007
The story is about love at first sight. Micah is a ruthless person when it comes to getting what he wants. Yuuki is a shy hotel owner that only think of others. They meet in a bar after taking shelter from the rain and there is an instant attraction between the two. As you may have guessed someone tries to come between them. Micah's male asst. tells him that he is in love with him and to make matters worst Micah has a fiance! What he does to get Yuuki is really enough to make you believe in love. This is a really good story and when you meet Yuuki's brother it makes you wish the story has a part two. I know he made wish there was.
 some very cute yaoi right here. November 8, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
this is a very cute, touchy feely little yaoi book. not to say it isn't awesome, but despite the fact that it has sex scenes the overall feeling is sort of like "awww...." the first love story of the title is very good and solid, plus the detective stories, which feature some actual adult protagonists, who look like adults and everything! and the sex is a bit more original than the typical stuff, which is also appreciated.
Yummy Read September 30, 2007
This book was wonderful! Four different stories of which the first two were subtly connected and the last two with some of the same characters. There is much yoai goodness and I recommend reading it! The scenes are wonderful and expressions adorable! It's a must for your yoai collection!
(slight spoilers, so if you dont want 'em dont' read my review)
First story-(high school setting) Shirou has a spectacle fetish and when he notices that Sataru Sorachi wears glasses he can't help but be mean to this man he's become attracted to, but its all a big missunderstanding between the two and this story comes to a climax after Shirou almost kisses Sorachi while he's asleep. (three chapters of their exciting relationship)
Second Story-(same school) After an embarrassing incident where Sawai, the super hot guy that every gril fawns over, stumbles upon his friend Minami, the two become quite closer. Minami becomes confused by his feelings-of jealousy?-from watching girls ask out his friend and Sawai having told him before that "I'm not interested in girls." Even though they help eachother reach a pinacle of physical pleasure, are they still just friends? And how could Sawai "not" be interested in girls? (1 chap)
Third Story- A gay detective meets a very handsome bartender at a cafe while eating lunch thier with his assistant and immediately falls for the attrctive man and his "sweet smile," but when Detective Noritaka stops coming in everyday Nanase gets worried and has to check up on him. (1 chap)
Fourth Story-Same assistant, Ichi is the main character. He is in love with his childhood friend, Tetsuji, who is two years younger than him but with far better grades and looks with pure talent in everything he does. After celebrating, (drinking), Tetsuji passing his exams, Ichi goes all brotherly, saying Tetsuji must still visit even though he's moving and wishing him the best only to be shocked by an "I'm sorry" and fleeting kiss good-bye (for the night). Moping at the office with confusion, he finally gets answers when he goes home to find guess who waiting for him? (1 chap)
My personal favorite was the 2nd story, second fav was the 3rd, and third fav the 1st! The stories are absolutely cute, hot, and loveable!
The Sky Over My Spectacles by Mio Tennohji August 10, 2007
Four story, interconnected two by two.
Shirou has a fetish for spectacles. He thinks to be able to find attractive every person wears them. And so when he is drawn by Satoshi, he thinks cause he wears spectacles. But then he sees him without them and he has to admit that it is love, love for a guy.
Sawai and Minami have a friendship with benefit... they are lovers. Buth Minami fears that Sawai can fall in love for a girl and he is jelaous, even if he has never said I love you to him... he doesn't think Sawai can reciprocate the feeling.
Saegusa is a private investigator who falls in love for Nanase, the bartender he sees everyday at lunch. But Nanase seems so distant and never accepts his hints, until Saegusa lose one of their one o'clock lunch appointment.
Tetsuji and Ichi are childhood friends. Now Ichi has a work and Tetsuji wins a scolarship for a distant city: their friendship has to end and Ichi has never had the courage to admit his love for his friend. And then Tetsuji makes his move...
The first two story are about teens and the other two about young men. Still they are pretty innocent. Maybe I have endured much more by a lot of novel and also by the previous manga I have read, but I have found this one a little tamed.
I have found interesting the first person point of view that it is used first by a character and then by the other, like a ball in a gamefield... I feel so, game, what do you feel?, game, I love you, game, do you love me?, POINT.
