Fujiyama-sensei usually makes nice stories, and I find her artwork very pleasing. Sono Te no Netsu wo Kasanete is a great shounen ai manga with bits of yaoi. It's slow paced, but not in a boring way, and it follows the story of chef Nagisa Takakage and his awkward restaurant customer Kouga Nagisa, mostly told from the chef’s perspective. Both characters captivate you with their personalities, way of thinking and of doing things, along with how they develop and deal with their feelings for each other. Especially Kouga, who is a one of a kind character. It's not a mind-blowing, out of this world plot, but somehow I always come back to it and consider it a favorite. It's the type that gives you a warm fuzzy feeling inside and I'm sure if you like BL, you'll enjoy it (unless you go for angst plots). The art is very good, both characters are handsome, no girly uke (always a +1 for me) and the movement of the hands is drawn beautifully. Since it gravitates towards shounen ai, there isn’t much sex, but the story makes up for it.

Thanks for reading this review!~
