BOND
OF DREAMS, BOND OF LOVE Vol.
1, by Yaya Sakuragi - Rated
‘M’ for Mature Readers - MSRP: $12.99 U.S. / $14.99 CAN
High
school student Ao has been dreaming about his longtime neighbor
Ryomei, a priest at the local Shinto shrine. A little freaked out—and
a lot excited—at the prospect of having a relationship with Ryomei,
Ao gathers up his courage, confesses his feelings...and gets turned
down flat. Luckily, Ao's not the kind to give up easily. Thanks to
some creative persistence (and Ryomei's weakening resolve), he
finally gets a kiss. But one single kiss won't satisfy him for long!
Yaya
Sakuragi’s previous English-language releases include Tea
For Two,
Hey,
Sensei? and
Stay
Close to Me.
She is also a prolific novel illustrator.

Tohru,
the son of a yakuza boss, is sent into exile on a deserted island for
his own protection during a gang feud. Fiery and impetuous, he isn't
thrilled to be sidelined when he'd rather be in the fight, and is
even less thrilled that Mutsumi, son of the gang's second in command,
is going with him. The serious, studious Mutsumi is Tohru’s
opposite in every way, and it doesn't take long before the sparks
between them begin to fly!
Youka
Nitta made her publishing debut with GROUPIE in 1995, and since then
has become one of the most prolific and popular yaoi creators
worldwide. Her most well-known series,
Embracing Love,
has been adapted into both a drama CD as well as an anime series.
More information about Youka Nitta is available on her
English-language website at: http://nittayouka.com.
“Hot
yaoi romances continue to sizzle this month for fans worldwide with
the print release of BOND
OF DREAMS, BOND OF LOVE and
the print and digital release of Starting
with a kiss,”
says Jennifer LeBlanc, Editor, SuBLime. “Yaya Sakuragi shows how a
not-so-innocent kiss, mixed with plenty of determination, can lead to
