The Ninja: A stealth fighter expertly trained in ancient Japanese martial arts. With his fiery combination of sheer force, considerable guile and devastating proficiency, no man can resist his skill! Follow the sizzling sessions with a young, innocent ninja-in-training as his master teaches him the secret methods of the clan...with a little hands-on instruction! Meanwhile, two experienced shinobi take their relationship to new heights when a tragic separation leaves one of them caught between a rock and hard place. Filled with over-the-top "action," boys in tight uniforms, and one very lascivious snow spirit, this romantic fantasy collection is one part passion, one part affection, and all heart.

Synopsis/Review: A ninja-in-training gets instruction for his first mission with hands on training from his master. (Shinobu Kokoro- Hidden Heart; Secret Outfit) Two shinobi take their relationship to a different level when an unwilling separation leaves one of them between a rock and a hard place. (An Unexpevetd Pair; Sincere Loyalty) A guy gets lost in a blizzard and gets rescued by a Snow Spirit (Blizzard; After the snow melts) I love Temari Matsumoto's drawings and the stories. They are short sweet and hot! Same mangaka as "Bokura No Unsei" 1 & 2 (I love those even more)

Does what it says on the tin!

To be fair, I rarely read yaoi for the plot, and the rather shota-esque picture on the front almost put me off but I'm glad I didn't let it.

Shinobu Kokoro is a decent read full of pretty boys with some fairly explicit scenes in but they all tie into the storyline. The two "stories" weave well around each other, making it an easy read but not overly simple. I am a huge Kyo Kara Maou fan but surprisingly the author's name didn't ring a bell when I first picked it up, and it was only when I got to the end that I realised it was the same person! Looking back I can see similarities in the style, and I think I got more out of it reading it a second time.

Worth a read at the right price!

Love Kyo Kara Maoh? Love the work of Kyo Kara Maoh? Then you will love Shinobu Kokoro wa!
The artist of Kyo Kara Maoh brings the stories of ninjas and yaoi all in one for all who have a fetish for blade drawing, stealthy men.
Come see the Leader take position of a youngly under his training.
A simple couple wanting to continue love and the sweet snow monster that watches everything else.
Love awesome artwork with the wonderful stories in Shinobu Kokoro wa.
