I LOVED getting to see a bit of Shino's past and learning more about what has made him into the man he will become. I don't think I will ever be a fan of Teraoka though. I hope Shino detaches his nuts with a dull knife.

Much "softer" than what I'm used to reading in In These Words, but David is growing on me!...more

I bit confusing to follow at times and I didn't like the POV changes. Started in 1st from one character POV then changed to 3rd from other characters' and also with the original character.
I did love the big twist at the end...although I suspected it for a bit.
3.5 stars
ETA: I read the ebook version first, then got home and realized the paperback is an expanded version!! Looks like it has an extra chapter in the middle and book 2 prologue at the end. Those additions definitely cleared up some of my questions to the point I'm rounding my rating up instead of down.
Dammit...now I want to know what happens next!...more

Okay, I'm soooo loving the starcrossed lovers spin her. I KNOW Katsuragi HAS to have some romantic feeling doe Akihito. No question! And I soooo want to know Katsuragi's big secret.
I'm not that interested in the financial plot of this series...it's too many names and I can't seem to keep up with all Katsuragi's dealings...although I want to know all the hidden information.

A few years ago Nikyta introduced me to yaoi, and since then I've read a few here and there, along with some other styles of graphic art stories...especially the webcomic Teahouse (now that's another obsession of a different color). Then one day I was scrolling through all of the amazing photography "art" on Tumblr *cough*, and came across the cover art for In These Words and thought to myself, “Hmm, this is pretty!” And next thing I knew, I had read Chapter 1 (twice) on Kobo and ordered the paper version Volume 1 from Amazon Prime. So here I was, anxiously checking my doorstep for three days and the book NEVER arrives. NEVER!! All I can think about is one of my neighbors has received my package and is either closet-ly reading my smut, or burning it in their fireplace while they pray over the Bible. So I immediately contacted Amazon, and two days later I had the book in my hands! Of course I started with Ch 1 (again), then got halfway through Ch. 2 and put it down. Why? Because I knew right then that I didn’t want to continue reading until I had all 10 chapters (that are currently released) in my possession! Obsessed much?? Soooo, I have since read Ch 1-5 which are included in Vol 1. I'm stopping before I move on to Ch 6 to write an unswayed review covering only Vol. 1. You should feel special because all I really want to do is say fuck this review and get me some more Katsuya and Shinohara.
So why am I a bit obsessed with ITW? Well, umm, it touches all those dark, dirty kinks than even I don’t want to admit I find erotic in the light of day. Yes, there is non-con. Yes there is sadism. Yes, there is knife play. Yes, there are improbable declarations of love. But when Shinohara is fucking Katsuya and licking his blood and telling him that he loves him… Fuck it, I admit I’m disturbed! There’s just something about these two…and I NEED to know more.
So what is this story really about? Well, first there is Katsuya, a psychiatrist that has played the key role in profiling and capturing a serial killer…Shinohara. As Katsuya is about to be sequestered until he can extract a confession from Shinohara, he starts having sado-sexual dreams/nightmares of Shinohara holding him captive and raping him…yet, he has never met Shinohara. I really don’t want to give away anymore details of the plot, but Ch 5 ends with a huge cliffhanger. I mean HUGE that will obviously change the direction this story is headed. I have no clue where THAT is because I still haven’t gotten a grasp on what is really going on!!! And instead of finding out, I’m sitting here writing this stinking review!
*Focus Heather* So I’m supposed to be giving my opinion on Vol. 1, but I feel it is necessary that I bring the individual printed chapters into the discussion…the two just don’t compare! While Vol. 1 is compact and affordable, the individual chapters are GORGEOUS!! Larger and the covers are texture and beautiful! Quite pricey but totally worth it when you have an obsession like mine. (Denial at this point would be a joke.) Some chapters are available in eBook at Kobo…my obsession has yet to bring me that far.
It's a bit dark and mysterious...and different. I really like it! The translation is good and the story is easy to follow. The artwork is pretty, but It's a bit dark and mysterious...and different. I really like it! The translation is good and the story is easy to follow. The artwork is pretty, but the sex isn't explicit.
The story revolves around a young viscount, Akihito Kuze, and his butler, Tomoyuki Katsuragi, who has been put in charge of the house until Akihito becomes of age. All Katsuragi seems to care about is advancing the Kuze name, and all Akihito wants is Katsuragi...so there is tons of tension and unrequited love...and a bit of mystery.
Decent story but the translation was very rough. I'm continuing on to the next volume. Decent story but the translation was very rough. I'm continuing on to the next volume. ...more
