Ten Count, Vol. 2 (Yaoi Manga) Kindle & comiXology

Shirotani is devastated after Kurose tells him they won’t be seeing each other any more. He curls up on his bed, and ceases to function, to the point where his boss and his co-worker/friend, Mikami, become concerned. He isn’t answering his phone. Mikami mentions to their boss that the only other friend he knows of is Kurose. The president gives him Kurose’s number and Mikami explains what is going on. Kurose texts as well, but receives no response. When Shirotani finally rouses himself, he realizes his phone battery is dead. After charging it, he discovers a number of messages, including one from Kurose telling him to meet him at the café on Saturday at 2 pm, and he’ll wait as long as it takes. But it’s already 7 pm! Surely Kurose isn’t still there? Shirotani can’t help but go to find out, expecting everything but what he sees—Kurose is there, waiting for him. Shirotani explodes at Kurose, in public no less, then rushes off, forgetting his train pass and his wallet in his hurry. Unable to do anything or go anywhere, he sits in the rain and despairs… until Kurose finds him.Kurose envelops Shirotani in his warmth and explains why he thought he needed to put distance between them—because he realized he was falling in love with Shirotani, and he finds it harder and harder to resist the urge to touch him. They discuss the situation and Shirotani reveals that he wants to keep seeing Kurose.Shirotani arrives at their next scheduled meeting only to discover Kurose not there. He receives a text from him explaining he had to cover for someone at the clinic, and he didn’t know when he can get away. So Shirotani goes to the clinic instead. Alone in the clinic, Kurose, as he has warned Shirotani, cannot resist touching him, kissing his hands… and more. Shirotani is both disgusted and turned on by what is being done to him. They finally decide to meet for the dinner that never was, although Shirotani, as usual, doesn’t eat, but does drink some champagne. Perhaps it’s the influence of the champagne that loosens his tongue when he admits that he’s been thinking all day about Kurose touching him. Kurose tells him to come with him, he wants to take him somewhere he can do even more unpleasant things to him.There is so much going on this volume. It’s obvious that Shirotani is both attracted and repelled by Kurose. The chemistry between these two men is palpable. The one thing that bugs me about Kurose, though, is that as a trained therapist, he has made no attempt to get to the root of Shirotani’s problems. It’s obvious to me that Shirotani has been abused, and he’s never dealt with what happened, which has led to his disgust with and inability to be touched. So far, Kurose is just treating the symptoms, not the disease. I’m worried that at some point, something he does is going to trigger something in Shirotani that might make him worse.I’m sure Kurose has his own backstory, and I look forward to knowing more about both of them. This is not your typical m/m romance, and yet it is very romantic and sexy. I especially appreciate the artwork, and that the graphic scenes have not been erased in any way, as is the case with most yaoi manga. Four more volumes to go, can’t wait!If you like men who are real and not perfect, and real romance, this maybe the manga for you!

Great book itself, just a little unhappy with the way it arrived cracked and torn at the top despite being plastic wrapped. For brand new books Amazon should really consider bubble wrapping and placing inside a box instead of just sticking them in a bubble mailer.

This is great, the characters, the drawing, the story is really consistent. In a lot of yaoi it seems the mangaka seem to forget the plot and the characters personality once they get to the steamy parts. Takarai does a good job of giving the steamy parts and keeping everyone true to their character. Its what makes the reading so tantalizing!

So volume 1 was light a light romance for anyone that just wants something tame just a short story but volume 2 is more of a hard yaoi romance still amazing but fair warning to anyone who doesn’t want some intense physical scenes lol

This is an absolutely incredible read. I have read this one as well as volume one, and I love both of them. I am also in love with the artwork. I actually purchased the first volume just so I could study the artwork as a means to push my own artwork out of my comfort zone. I am typically not into stories like this when they are focused on leaner and thinner men. The story however did pull me in and I am a huge fan of this particular series. I look forward to purchasing and reading the rest of them.

Nice to see two 'adults'...not a tutor/student, etc..even though some might be turned away by the almost rape scenes...keep in mind that we ARE reading yaoi!!! Beautiful artwork... I will definitely keep reading the series! Highly recommend!!!

so hot.... just wow. they dont go all the way but what they do is wow. the art is beautifully done for these two and the story continues to grab me. i just want book 3!! this slow build is awesome yet cruel, such a indepth seme and uke story that makes my whole body feel overheated.

This is a really cute but slightly rapey story. Also, I feel like the medical condition for which they are using as an example is much more serious and couldn't be cured so easily or at all. But I enjoyed the story enough to re-read it one day.

Guuuururkrrlll. You and I are here for one this and one this only.Hot. Cute. Gay. Couples.And this is perfect for just that. Every page is eye candy and the character's personalities work so well together. It's an enjoyable read, what more can I say ;)And not that I want to spoil anything it I have added some saucy photos

The second instalment of the Ten count series, like the first, doesn't disappoint and offers the reader more romance and intrigue from our two male leads.Whilst the first book was more story-oriented with no erotic content the second installment offers intimate scenes between the two male leads.I strongly recommend reading the first book to better understand the story.

This manga is honestly some of the best Yaoi out there. Despite how explicit it does become as the manga goes on, it still stick pretty well to the interesting and intense plot. This follows Shiotani battles his feelings while trying to make progress with his OCD. I highly recommend this to any manga and yaoi fan.

Bought as a gift, they loved it. Very happy with it. It came in a sealed packet, perfect.

Excellent sequel to the first volume; the relationship between Kurose and Shintani continues to develop in interesting ways. If you like the series, you should get it.
