Trigger Series
Tagged under Norikazu Akira, Series.
Collection of oneshots:
1) Trigger: Sawada has been part of the
yakuza ever since the boss's assistant (and current boss) Kagami picked him up off the streets. But things get
complicated when Kagami's uncle orders Sawada to kill Kagami.
2) Steal Me: thief Ryouya Sudou tries to
break into Tooru Takigawa's house to steal some data, but gets some...unexpected treatment instead.
3-4)
Risky Bet: Manato Iwase has a vendetta against the Haryou group, a Mahjong company he thinks drove his uncle (a
daiuchi*) to exhaustion and death. He plans to get into Haryou and destroy it from the inside, but can't seem to get
anywhere since he isn't skilled enough to become a regular player. One night, Manato encounters Shidou, the leader of
Kujaku (the daiuchi group of Haryou), who promises to let Manato join his group in exchange for becoming his lover.
* daiuchi = a stronger Mahjong player who substitutes for a weaker player in order to settle a score
5) Me in the Palm of a Hand: Hinata's luck seems to be rotten, as all the girls he happens to catch his eye fall for
co-worker Fujimaki instead. Is it just a coincidence or is Fujimaki plotting something?
6) The Power of
Glasses: former college friends Kaneko and Oota meet again thanks to a business contract, but there seems to be
something different about Kaneko now: he's wearing glasses, and they have quite the effect on Oota!
7) My
Fair Prince: Julius, the crown prince of Ascarea, decides to visit Japan and messes up everyone's schedule by running
away from his aides. He returns to the embassy on his own, though, and requests that Doujima (a worker at the Ascarean
embassy in Japan) show him around.
8) As You Like It: just as he's being depressed about his sixth job
interview going badly, Tomo Kobayashi accidentally spills some coffee on a scary looking man's expensive tuxedo. The
man, who introduces himself as Mitsunari Suga, proceeds to grab him and take him shopping for new suits and to dinner.
But when it's time to go to the reserved hotel room, Tomo discovers Mitsunari has an unusual hobby...
9)
Fever: continuation of the first story. On the run from the yakuza group, Sawada and Kagami "elope" to a hot spring
inn.

As always, Norikazu Akira doesn't disappoint. The art is gorgeous, very clean and even the ukes are not all girly (there are some more moe-looking ones to balance out the manlier ones). Of course, the sex scenes are deliciously explicit so, if you're looking for a "fix", you won't be disappointed at all. And what's great about this manga is that the sex scenes don't come out of nowhere and the story is pretty decent too; you do need a bit of suspension of disbelief, but it doesn't get in the way of enjoying the manga.
