This one really stands out. There is a maturity and depth in the characters and story line which I really like. I did wish there are answers to what happened to certain supporting characters, a puzzle easily forgiven once you read the mangaka's notes of all that had transpired during the years of serialization. I love the romance and chemistry between Angie and Hiro and I am so glad the sex scenes are completely uncensored. Explicit, hot, sexy and sensual it is every yaoi fan's dream, lol... Wonderful artwork and I am talking about real men physiques here! But the story is more than a gay romance, it is also about a a great bond among 3 friends and the epilogue is just so impactful and touching. It has been a while since my last Yaoi and I am so glad to have this one in my collection.
I do not read a lot of Yaoi, but stumbled across this and really enjoyed it. It is pretty sexy but the story is what takes center stage.
I love the fact that using the tango in the story,it's has very sexual movie and the three people involved in it was made . I enjoyed that at the end they became a big happy family too!!!!
Angie (Angel) is a tango teacher and exhibition dancer. He and his partner Bene give lessons, although they get distracted by the men that fall in love with Angie but don’t last with him (which allows for the explicit sex scenes that give the book its mature rating). Angie has yet to find anyone who raises feelings in him, until he meets Hiro, a half-Japanese man trying to cope with a recent death in the family.Hiro’s quickly swept up by the two, particularly Angie, who wants to teach him to dance tango. Hiro winds up sleeping over, and he and Angie have a dream-like, alcohol-induced encounter. Angie’s knowledge of bodies and movement comes to good use when seducing Hiro, who takes great pride in “not being gay” but still finds himself wanting the dancer.Unfortunately, author Tetuzoh Okadaya pays so much attention to strong, solid torsos — a nice alternative to the willowy yaoi pretty-boy type — that the characters at times wind up looking like pinheads, with heads too small for their bodies. Bene is also drawn solidly, a welcome change from the usual comic book wasp-waisted woman, but she can be read as somewhat masculine in frame.A final chapter shows the couple 30 years in the future. Some author’s notes explain a bit of the publishing history of the included stories, which helps put it all into context. The Man of Tango will be enjoyable for readers looking for visual portrayals of brawny men involved with each other, and the author’s love of dance and its moods come through. The characters didn’t have quite enough development to ring true to me, but the artist clearly loves drawing naked muscles. (The publisher provided a review copy.)
