The big news in the yaoi corner today is last night's announcement from DMP that Hinako Takanaga will be appearing as their special guest at this year's Yaoi-Con. I'll admit I'm ambivalent on Takanaga. Though I enjoyed You Will Fall in Love (sequel You Will Drown in Love somewhat less so), my greatest criticism of it was the same as the first work of hers I read, Little Butterfly. I know everyone loves Little Butterfly, but my impression of it when I first read it (when I had not yet read a lot of yaoi) was that the main relationship was too rushed to be truly believable. Though Kate Dacey's recent review has inspired me to put Little Butterfly back on my list for another try, I can't help but wish that I could experience Takanaga over the course of a much longer series.
