Velvet Kiss volume 1 [English, 199 pictures], by Harumi Chihiro
A succesful earnest young salaryman is led to be the companion (and errand boy) of a rich young adult girl, the spoiled indecisive freeting type… but things aren’t as simple as they look ! This was released by LD, Panzuriel and Ziggy from Soba Scans, they put in this a LOT of time and work, they deserve more words of praise than I could even think of, thank you very much |
In itself, this manga is full of great things, and I’m confident several of you will love it. There is a well-developed story, the characters are interesting and far from being superficial, and the dialogues are able to tell lots with only a few words. Graphically, this is still technically ecchi (no penis, no vagina), but there IS sex, and cute and good sex at that, with very good drawings (also, the heroine’s clothes change a lot, there’s been dedication in that), it’s very good art
Me, however, to be frank, I resented the slowness of the story. I’m not allergic to Japanese stories, but I’m always pissed off when the characters don’t just bloody say what they have on their thoughts, playing the mysterious one, Jebus, just saying a few words and the story would have evolved twice faster !
By Harumi Chihiro, I also share the adorable Cutie Lips and Koi Wo Suru No Ga Shigoto Desu Volumes 1-3.
And Velvet Kiss volume 2 of course
UPDATE, by Oliver :
Good and sad news in the same time, I’m removing the download links for Velvet Kiss volumes 1 and 2.
The reason : they were licenced, for distribution, by Digital Manga, Inc, and Soba Scans asked that I removed the links, something I can agree to without any problem
Hopefully, some day, they’ll reach the western market
