ddd's Favorite

Shimizu Yuki has the best Yaoi stories I have ever read. Love Mode was my first of her Yaoi stories and I am always stunned with tears at the end everytime I read it. Unlike other Yaoi, Shimizu really serves us something poignant and endearing while its both highly explicit and sensual. There are not many authors who can weave in so many storylines and couples so well! Usually there are favourites and ones that you'd want to skip but every couple in this couple, you will want to read. I think my favourite thing about Shimizu stories and Love Mode is the dialogue and the Art. There is a very intriciate and touching focus on words and small features such as fingers, eyes and such that make it most evocative. It's such a well thought-out story that you can always come back to read.
