Synopsis

Iwaki Kyousuke and Katou Yoji are two hugely popular adult film stars looking for a way out of the industry. Their chance arrives when they're both invited to audition for a new erotic film. Imagine their surprise when the director decides the only way for him to choose who will get the coveted lead role is for them to perform one of the film's love scenes on the spot—with each other! Things get even crazier when Katou decides to take drastic measures to ensure he can continue seeing Iwaki after film production wraps. How will Iwaki respond to Katou's impulsive act?

I had seen the OVAs then went back to find the manga. As you can see, it ended almost 10 yrs ago and it debut another 10 yrs before that. The drawing might be dated, but the art is still beautiful. Someone once said this is a gloriously porntastic, and I cannot help but agree.

Well, it is my first review about any manga but after reading this one i really thought that i need to, to appreciate it. Because I really love it. After reading summary I thought it is not a good one and after reading it I changed my opinion to the opposite.

Story: Firstly I read lots of manga (both shoujo and yaoi). And most of them have lots of drama (I meant real drama with lots of teardrops). Haru wo Daiteita contains drama as well but not to the point of nonsense. I am really glad to see their faith in them.

Graphics: There are looooots ...

Preliminary (50/78 eps)
I'm definitely picky in rating Yaoi's I've read/watched, which is why in giving Haru wo Daite ita an overall 10/10 is an honor!

It's a must read, although the sex can be graphic (which I understand some people enjoy that and others don't) the story for HWD is GREAT!

I have to agree that as much as I love the story, the artwork in the beginning was something that was hard for me to look over (which is why that whenever I re read it I always read the beginning a bit hastily compared to the ending) but the improvement of the artwork from chapter ...
