ADVANCED YAOI REVIEW: DREAMS OF THE DAYS BY KYUNGHA YI


Dreams of the Days
Author: Kyungha Yi
Publisher: Net Comics
Pages:168
ISBN: 10 1600099475
Reviewed By: Sandra Scholes

To anyone else, Howon is just a normal high school student who goes about his daily life, but Howon hides a very deep, dark secret. He is having erotic dreams he can't tell another living soul, or can he?

Howon lives with his sister and after his father had died spends most of his time either at school or at home helping her out. He doesn't know why he has started to have these realistic erotic dreams, only that they involve two people; his current best friend, Jihyung and the one he no longer sees, Changwoo.

This instantly felt like a coming of age story to me with Howon having to search inside himself to see whether his feelings felt right to him, that he might be gay and attracted to Jihyung. His dreams involve him being held by the throat by his bedtime lover and end up looking real sensual, not to mention erotic and challenging for Howon to think about or tell Jihyung. From the offset, we get to see the sex scenes where they are both well drawn, and Howon has very beautiful eyes, lashes and the expressions seem realistic enough. Hot would be another word to describe these scenes, but every effort is put into the atmosphere these two guys ooze.

From the author of Intense, Kyungha Yi takes us on another journey where she wants us to see life from two people's perspectives, the desiring and the desired and how they work out what to do, as it's not only Howon who has to deal with his feelings this time around.


Summary: Liked this very much and enjoyed the artwork as well as the story - delicious.
