Delivery Cupid by CJ Michalski

I have bought this manga cause I have fallen in love for an untraslated story of CJ Michalski, A Toy with Sadness, and still hope to be able to bought it in english in the future (and maybe read more of the story, I hope it's not finish yet). Meantime I amuse myself with this collection of oneshot stories

Delivery Cupid: the story that gives the name to the collection is funny, but not more than that. A young half angel half human has to gain his right to be a full angel playing the role of Cupid. But God assigns him the wrong case, and our little cupid has to face a big and pervert sexy shop owner. And when the man has in his hands the cute angel, he knows what to do...

Love Beam: a boy has a crush on an highschoolmate, but he has no courage to go near him. So when God (disguise as an old man) give him a magic gun with the power to draw the person you love, our pretty student thinks to use it to draw his love. But he doesn't know that he has no need of the gun to draw the sexual attention of his highschoolmate.

Cinderfella: a poor student is deeply in love with a rich guy he sees every morning when he delivers the newspaper. And when God gives him the chance to sort a wish, he asks to be able to meet his secret love. But after midnight, the dream will go on?

With You Forever: an angel of death has to take the life of a young boy who has been ill for all his life and has had no chance to have a real life. But when he meets the boy, so young and shy, the angel falls in love with him and asks God to lift him of his assignment. But it's no possible...

Ai Scream: an ice cream dealer has a crush for one of his customer who arrives every day at the same hour and buy an ice cream. He wants to confess his love but the summer is nearly finished and he has not yeat gained the courage to do it.

Under the Star Light: a cute waiter is fired from the most exclusive restaurant of the city cause he has rejected the sexual arrassment of the maitre. Outside the restaurant he meets a bum who is really gentle with him and he confesses to him his desire: to be able to eat in the restaurant only for one time...

Of all the stories, my favourites are Cinderfella and With You Forever (even if this last is pretty sad...). Maybe is the romantic in me...

The style of the main characters are almost the same in all the story, the top is always big and dark, the bottom if little and blond. Only in Love Beam CJ Michalski has inverted the couple, in the colors but not in the looks. The stories are enjoyable, but I still wait for the translation of A Toy with Sadness...

I didn't know that Michalski's stuff has been translated. That's good news. I've only seen old untranslated stories of hers in previous issues of B-Boy Gold, and I never really thought to look elsewhere for more accessible material. Thanks for the heads up!

This one is going into my shopping cart right now. :D I haven't had a chance to read any of Boysenberry's titles yet, but now I'm really looking forward to it.

That one looks so CUTE~! And I've heard it's pretty sexy too.

BTW, have you read Crimson Spell? I just got it, and so far the art and story is wonderful.

I must be lucky since I can read them in original, but they're not my taste. As you remarked, it's very stereotypical.
Ryoko Yamagishi is not Yaoi comic-writer/artist, but she deals with that subject very well. Her works are very complicated and deep. Although they will never be translated, as far as I think. Really, I regretted that I didn't bring them with me from there.

Buongiorno Maximilian.

Yes, CJ Michalski use the same characteritation for all her stories. I like A Toy with Sadness, and sincerely I don't like very much the oneshot anthology (in general, not this one in specific): I need a bit of pages to appreciated a comic.
