3.0 out of 5 stars Takanaga 20 Feb 2013
By Kerry
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I love Takanaga, and own the majority of her books, as her art and plotlines are pretty and delightful, much like an early-version 'Loveless'. However, 'Awkward Silence' definitely suits its title, as it's unbearably bland and uneventful, leaving me with very little to say about it all.
I will continue to buy the rest of this series, mostly because Takanaga has always been a wonderful artist and storyteller throughout all her other books, but I'll really be buying it out of hope that this story might actually improve a little.

5.0 out of 5 stars More from my favorite awkward couple 10 Jan 2013
By D. Renee Bagby - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This volume delves more into Keigo and Satoru's relationship as well as introducing new characters (in true manga/anime style) that test their bonds of love. Still loving this series. It's also great to see more of Satoru's parents.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love it! 29 Dec 2012
By Vixen - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Awkward Silence is one of the most adorable yaoi mangas I've read in awhile so I was very excited when I saw that they were released on paperback and bought the first two immediately. There are four volumes thus far, the first three of which can still be read for free online, so the fourth one will be a surprise for me and I do look forward to that.

However, on the scans online the second volume came with a little "extra" story at the end of it, the "Special Pointy-Ears Edition" I believe it was called featuring Tono and Tamiya but as a cat and dog respectively, with the promise of more to come of this edition in the following volumes. Now in the paperback version, while it has the extra story "First Voice" featuring Tamiya's point of view, I was very disappointed to find that it did not have the Pointy-Ears extra. I read the "Afterword" from the author, it says that the extra story will not be included in the graphic novel and is being offered as a gift in picture-book type format for readers, but only in Japan... I did take off a star for that. It was a really cute extra that really added to the manga.

So, if you read the first volume and loved it - definitely pick this one up, it continues to be excellent. If you are new to the series and purchasing the first volume, don't be scared to get this one too. I highly recommend this series to all yaoi fans and I think it's a good one to start off with if you're new to the genre. It is mostly about their relationship and while there are sex scenes, some pretty steamy ones too, they are not (at least to me, though I may admittedly be a poor judge) overly graphic.
4.0 out of 5 stars Lighthearted, adorable, smutty goodness 28 April 2013

[This review is also available on my blog.]

I'm kind of obsessed with a few different series right now. And this is one of them. (Also: Jiu Jiu.)

It's just so good. I'm surprised by how good it is, and I'm loving it. I'm loving this series so much.

So. The first storyline in this volume was mainly focused on Tamiya and Satoru, the main couple. Tamiya has to stay at the school for mandatory baseball camp, and Satoru gets lonely; also he believes that Tamiya thinks he's upset with him, when he's not, he just can't express emotions well. So Satoru sneaks into the school to talk to Tamiya. Also, there's a rumor going around the baseball team that the school is haunted.

This was mainly a sweet, cute, hot story for the two, which was nice. And we got to meet Satoru's parents, who are awesome. Particularly his mom, who is also expressionless at all times, even though her husband and Satoru can tell what she's feeling. It's rather adorable, really.

For the rest of the volume, Satoru notices that Kagami, someone on the student council, maybe has feelings for his childhood friend, Yu. So, Satoru and Tamiya try to push them along. This takes up a good amount of time, since there are some mess-ups, as well as Kagami denying it. Although, the reader sees that it's true (as does Yu, wink wink).

I like all of the characters, really. I like Satoru and Tamiya, and seeing their relationship develop further, and I'm intrigued by what's happening between Yu and Kagami. I also really like seeing Satoru's parents, who we saw more of throughout the volume. I really like his mom, his mom and his father seem really cute together, and I liked seeing how Satoru and his mom got along, seeing as how similar they are. I hope they show up even more in the next volume, and that we meet Tamiya's parents.

I'm just really enjoying the ride this series is taking me on. The characters are good, I love Satoru's expressionlessness, the storylines are good, the smut is good. It's all just really good, great; I'm loving it.

The volumes are being released rather slowly, since we're pretty much caught up with Japan, but the next volume is already out, and I should be getting it soon.
