Ten Count, Vol. 5

I read this story online, and I was able to purchase it! Honestly, this series is amazing and it broke my heart with some characters. This is not a series for anyone, but I truly recommend it for a future read.

Shirotani and Kurose are rescued from their elevator ordeal and emerge into falling rain. Cabs are scarce, so Kurose says he’ll walk, but Shirotani speaks up and offers to share a cab with him, which is a major step for him. Once inside the cab, Kurose prompts Shirotani to continue with what he began to say earlier, but Shirotani claims not to remember what that was, when the reality is he doesn’t feel comfortable bringing it up in that place. A disappointed Kurose has the driver pull over and gets out, since they are right by his apartment. As he waits for the elevator, he’s surprised to hear his name and turns to find Shirotani there. Shirotani gives him an obviously fake story as to why he’s there before finally making what is a major admission for him, even if it’s phrased hypothetically. They go up to Kurose’s apartment and Shirotani requests that Kurose “make him dirty inside”. As a child, Kurose’s parents were very busy, and he was left on his own most of the time. He strikes up an acquaintance with an older man named Nishigaki, and begins to hang out with him, even if the man claims Kurose is a pain. Kurose doesn’t understand Nishigaki’s idiosyncrasies, why he makes Kurose follow certain rules. Too late, he begins to understand what Nishigaki’s problem is. When Nishigaki disappears, Kurose blames himself. He studies all he can about germophobes, and makes a promise to himself to save the next Nishigaki. Shirotani wakes the next morning in a strange bed. Kurose is already up and is very attentive to him, anticipating his every need. Shirotani tells Kurose he’s filled in number ten on his list and wants him to guess what it is, so then Kurose has to tell him why he is doing this. Kurose says he has feelings for Shirotani, but Shirotani knows there is more to the story than that, that it has to do with his being a germophobe. Will Kurose come clean with Shirotani? The story is almost done, one more volume to go, and it’s so good as Shirotani and Kurose’s relationship grows stronger and stronger. Now we know more about Kurose, and why he was initially drawn to Shirotani. It almost feels like closure for him with regard to Nishigaki. But he also says that Shirotani being a germophobe is not the only reason he is drawn to him, that he would love him anyway. Shirotani hasn’t told Kurose about his father, and what he witnessed that helped to make him the germophobe he is now. Hopefully he’ll do it in the next volume. Ideally, I would love to see them move in together, and have an open and loving relationship. I think they can heal each other. I’m crossing my fingers for them. Only one more to go, can’t wait!

Handsome artwork. Large easy to read font. Adult content. I fell in love. So will you with this must have series! No silly back stories. Gets to the Point! Enjoy! And the two main characters seduce each other and the reader.

What can I say, this story-line keep getting better and better. The artwork and the dramatics of Ten Count, are definitely worth reading. Things are heating up between both Shirotani and Kurose, and in this volume we get a backstory for one of these guys, which really helps to set the tone for the reason, why he acts the way he does. I would urge the readers to listen to the drama CD's as well. Tomoaki Maenoi and Tachibana Shinnosuke do an amazing job breathing life into Takarai's sensei's characters and this story. The drama CD's are exactly the same as the manga. You can listen and follow along with the manga. I would definitely recommend this story-line if you are looking for a different BL story to read and something that a bit refreshing, with older and more established characters.

This volume explains quite a bit about Kurose's backstory, and the romantic relationship continues to develop. Still quite a ways to go, but the main characters seem to be facing things together now instead of being at odds. Well done story which is different from the usual fare. Highly recommended.

I’m happy it came on time and got the last part of the manga series. It’s been hard finding it in some areas but manage to find it here and in good price too.

I will be getting the whole series.

Another great addition. I love this couple. Hoping to see them advance even further. I reread this series often and live the images. This is a must buy for yaoi readers.

El manga es genial no podia esperar para tenerlo así que compre los dos últimos juntos. Insisto en que el inglés que maneja es bastante entendible por lo que no hay que ser un experto en el idioma para disfrutar la historia.

Nearly at the end of the series and my friend can not get enough. Recommend for anyone interested in BL manga with an amazing story line. Came in a sealed packet so no damage during shipping.

Conforme a descrição.

First of all, I totally love Ten Count. Thank you seller, for making this available. The packing was perfect, not even a scratch or something. Thanks once again!

Brand new and sealed on arrival, very good BL manga I highly recommend
