From Be Beautiful

EMBRACING LOVE is a lighthearted romantic comedy that lampoons the adult film business, the mainstream media, and the natural vanity of actors while exploring the earliest stages of a brand new relationship.

v01: Life reflects art for Iwaki and Katou, two hugely famous adult film stars who are considering retirement from their sordid careers. However, when they're invited to audition for a new erotic film, they realize that this may be their last chance to achieve mainstream success. Unfortunately, things sour quickly when the director asks them to make love... with each other... to determine who will get the lead role. What follows next is a roller coaster ride of romance, longing, and passionate sex that will alter their careers... and their lives... forever!

v02: Who said love was easy? It's been a month since Katou ingratiated his way into Iwaki's tiny one bedroom apartment, but the impossibly beautiful blonde refuses to make love to his dark and handsome host. Poor Iwaki's lust has reached the boiling point, and if he doesn't achieve full release... and soon... there's no telling what may happen! Story and Art by Youka Nitta. Also includes an erotic bonus story!

v03: The romantic adventures continue as Iwaki and Katou engage in a ten day sexual romp that leaves them both exhausted, and eventually effects Iwaki's day job as an adult film star. But things take a turn for the worse when Iwaki finally confesses his love for Katou...a statement that the impossibly beautiful blond does not want to hear...and neither does Iwaki's mortified family!

v04: Drama and passions ignite when Katou and Iwaki are selected for the leads in opposing drama series. As their busy schedules keep them apart, each manï¾’s yearnings surge within until they reach a boiling point. When Katou finally reaches his limit and rushes to Iwakiï’s work, the two lovers consume each other in a parked car. Is this the beginning of an exciting new chapter in their lives, or the last gasp of a love thatï¾’s finally run its course?

v05: The romance, angst and comedy continue in this best-selling saga of sex, scandal and seduction. Once again, Iwaki and Katou find their lives turned upside-down, this time due to the antics of Iwaki's devious new personal assistant Asano. It seems that Asano craves more than merely a professional relationship with the impossibly beautiful actor, and he misses no opportunity to drive a wedge between the star-crossed lovers. This time Asano is determined to take full advantage of the friction he's created between Iwaki and Katou, and he wonï¾’t rest until the explosive situation reaches its boiling point! This volume also contains an erotic bonus story.

First I watched the OVA's and when I started reading the manga alot of quiestions were answered. Then I saw that this was one of the sweetest mangas I've ever read and I personaly just love how its just plain sweet and sexy. I definately recommend it to anyone that loves mushy stuff but also likes the hot sex scenes that go with it ;).
The art of the characters gets better as the series develops, if you see how the characters are drawn in the first chapters and then check the latest ones you'll see the in my oppinion huge improvement of them. Overall a really enjoyable reading =)

I don't know if there's anything I can say about this superb series that hasn't already been said, but I'm going to try anyway. I LOVE Haru wo Daite Ita. My favorite part of this series is probably the art style. Iwaki and Katou are just gorgeous, and not in an overly muscular way nor a super pretty girly-boy way. They just look like extremely attractive, yet not overly exaggerated men. Not only that, but scenes are drawn with creative angles, and everything right down to the varied (and always sexy) clothes are drawn is wonderful detail.

The plot is interesting and since it has been running for so long, it delves into some pretty creative territory, it's impossible not to love the main characters personalities, and the sex scenes are hot. What more could you want in a yaoi manga?

This is my favorite manga.

I never read volume 1 (so far) but I've read volumes 2 to 5 and seen the OVAs so my review is based on that. It goes up to vol.11 so far and Be Beautiful just came out with the vol.6 this summer.

When I say some manga is not typical, I usually think about this one. The couple is not the usual fixed-4-ever-roles of seme and uke. Wait, can I even use such terms here ? THEY ARE JUST TWO GROWN MEN THAT LOVE EACH OTHER. This is the reason why very early in my exploration of the yaoi world I couldn't stand :

1. Wimpy ukes
2. Laughable censorship like invisible penises and so on
3. Simplistic plots only there to support hard yaoi sex scenes

I've been spoiled by Nitta-sensei's outstanding work!!!

Now, two paths lay before you : either you read it and you'll be like me - very critical since then - or you read it after you've seen a few other works. You might think that I'm exagerating or belittling the others outstanding mangaka out there, but I am not. I truly respect every one of them because they have the patience, courage and creativity to come out with such work. However, the fact is that from what i've read so far (before and after Embracing Love), very few manga give so much freedom on how to picture the love between the two.

...I'm gonna stop here, because I could go on 4-ever. Although this manga could be a great subject for an essay, this is just a review. I suggest that everyone read this manga. I strongly advise to read up to vol.4 before putting it down (if you can afterwards of course...).
