Art:
I like the art of Saeko Kamon very much, despite the fact that in, almost all of her stories, including Koibito wa Hatsujouki the uke are looking extremely uke-ish and sweet and the seme totally manly.
Although the art-style fits the stories, it´s a question of your personally taste if you like the style or not.

Story:
As Blissful Sin already stated out in the description above, Kobito wa Hatsujouki is a pure bunch of erotic and I must say sometime almost senseless erotic.
Reading the stories I had the feeling that Saeko Kamon just wanted to make stories that deals with only erotic and sex without any deep sense or plot.

If you are looking for an erotic story filled with hot sex scenes, you should read this manga, but don´t expect any deep sense or romance in it. It´s just erotic.

So in my opinion this manga is a nice and quickly read when you want to read a hot manga without thinking too much about the plot or the characters.

Characters:
Just like the story, the characters are very simple, too. There isn´t any character development withing the different oneshots and I´m pretty sure that it was made that way so the erotic aspect stand out even more.

Review for volume 1:

Art:
From all of Ryou Takagi´s "Game"-series manga, I like the art in Butler´s game the most. Being the newest series the art is more advanced than in the previouse books and in my opinion very pretty.

Story:
The first volume basically consists of two stories that aren´t connected with each other by plot or characters, but simply by the topic of a butler and his master.
In my opinion the stories are pretty light-hearted and in some way even cute. They are a nice read when you are bored, but that´s almost all there is.

Especilly the plot of the first story is pretty foreseeable, without any special or sudden twists in the storyline.
In my opinion the second story offers a bit more of storyline. The story isn´t as typical as the first one and therefore in some way more intresting and entertaining.

The sex scenes are kept to a minimum here. Not that they don´t exist at all, but the story don´t revolves just around “that” the whole time.
I think that´s a good point of this manga. Like that the cuteness of the story and characters is accented more, which really fits the plot.

Characters:
As the story is pretty foreseeable the actions of the characters are so as well.
In the first story we have our manly seme-butler and cute uke-master, while in the second story it´s vice versa.
So it´s nothing extraordinary specila.
But in my opinion a big bonus is the cuteness of the uke. I think that keeps the story cute and heart-warming as it is.

All in all Shitsuji game is a nice read when you are bored and searching for something Light and cute.
Especially when you´re into butler/master topics then you should check out this manga.

Hisho to Yajuu is the first volume of a four-volume series called the secretary-series, made by Yuu Takahashi. It contains three losely conected couples on which the plot is focused more or less depending on the volume.
That´s why if you read this first volume and you like it, make sure to read the other three as well.

Art:
As for me I really like Yuu Takahashi´s art style. It is pretty extraordinary and you will recognize Yuu Takahashi´s style whenever you see it.
It might look a little bit old, but it is very good. Besides it´s getting better and better especially in the following volumes.

Plot:
As said the plot focuses mainly on three couples. The main couple, which also is the leading couple of the first volume, is a secretary and his boss.
Somehow there exist tons of chief/secretary centered manga, but noone has captured me so much as Hisho to Yajuu.
It offers a lot of story, although at first sight the plot might be a little superficial. But it´s not. Of course we have here our tipical demanding chief seme and our poor secretary uke, but the story offers so much more and always keeps the reader entertained.
A great advantage of the story is that there are three stories loosely conected to each other. Although the focus on one of the stories is pretty low. Through this little switch of events and characters the reader is always kept entertained.
Not to forget the comedy and erotic scenes involved in that book. From time to time the erotic scenes come very excpected, as it is the case in many manga, but neverthelsess I really enjoyed them, becasue Takahashi-sensei really tried to make that scenes a bit special and in my opinion she succeded with that all the way.

Characters:
Well the charactres seem pretty ununique.
In the first volume the plot is centered aroung a seretary and his chief. I think the character design isn´t something extraordinary. At the contrary the characters are mostly as they are excpected to be, at least in the first volume.
But because of the great plot, even that "boring" charactes become somehow special and unique in their own way.

All in all.
If you´re looking for some good read and you´re a fan of secretary/chief realationships then you should definetly read this manga.
It´s definetly one of the best you´ll find in that theme.
Also when you liked the first volume you should make absolutely sure to read the other volumes as well, as they go deeper into the realationship of the couple and also focuse a lot on the other couples as well.

In my opinion "Bukiyou na Silent" is a must read, for everyone who searches for a sweet, comedy-yaoi story.
I think everything about this manga is wonderful, that´s why I rated it with 5 stars in each category.

To begin with the plot.
From the first look "Bukiyou na Silent" might appear like a more or less normal high school romance with just a special character, but after the first chapters, the reader gets to know that the story offers much more.
The characters are all charming and cute in theire own way and the realationships between the characters always offers a great amount of romance and comedy.
Personally I think that this story is one of the most romantic and sweetest things I have ever read.
And the awesome funny scenes, which appeare pretty often in this manga, will definatly make everyone laugh.
Furthermore, personally I think that this story has a good balance between the genres "yaoi" and "shonen-ai". It´s not that theire is nothing happening, at all. At the contrary "Bukiyou na Silent" offers really sweet and pretty erotic scenes, but they aren´t too explicit. That´s why it differes from most of the other Yaoi Manga.

The story is also pretty simple, without much drama or complicated things, but nevertheless the Manga is entertaining till the end.

Also the artwork is very nice.
It´s Takanaga-senseis tipical, individual but wonderful artwork, which fits the story perfectly and makes the characters even more cute.

All in all, if you like sweet and romantic storys with a great character design, lots of comedy and an great Artwork, then you should make sure to read that great Manga!
