Open the Door to Your Heart

Open The Door To Your Heart (Yaoi)Open The Door To Your Heart by Yugi Yamada


My rating: 5 of 5 stars


With each story that I read, Yamada-sensei cements her status as one of my top most favorite mangaka; so I always find it such wonderful news when I hear more of her works are being licenced and released. This manga was no exception. Although it can be read as a stand alone, it makes a little more sense if you're familiar with Kenzo Honda (Close the Last Door 1 & 2).




Adopted and raised as the eldest brother to Shunji and Kenzo, Shoichi tries to always be the good son and do right by his 'family'. To do this he fights his attraction and feelings for his younger brother Shunji-although it hurts him to do so. A decade ago, he and Shunji gave in to their attraction, but fear at the repercussions caused Shoichi to push Shunji away. Shunji left the house to travel around the world. Out on his job as a tax collector, Shoichi is surprised to discover that Shoichi has returned.




Yet their feelings for each other haven't changed. Now Shoichi has to decide whether to let his fears send Shoichi away again or give in and open to door to his heart and finally let Shunji in.
