Main character writes porn but is impotent. Main character doesn't feel like a father but has a smart-mouthed 15 year old son he barley knows coming to move in with him. Main character's son has a crush on a boy who has his own issues. Main character accidentally jerks off a guy in a porno theater and guy ends up obsessed with him much to main character's chagrin. Hijinks ensue. (Sorry. Does anyone else start to get tired of describing these things when the plots are all a mesh of things we've heard before and usually not the way they distinguish themselves anyway? ^_^;)

Kiss All The Boys is more of a comedy than anything. The story is of course all about the romantic and sexual desires and entanglements of the characters, but for the most part there's really more stress on the zaniness of each situation than making characters feel real and sympathetic or getting the reader to feel their romantic longing.

And while I might miss the other stuff, I'm a sucker for a manga with a good sense of humor, so I tried it. Unfortunately, this manga seems to come entirely from the humor school of "ridiculous = funny." And that's pretty much where I should stop this review, because you've lost me right there. Sure, ridiculousness can add to other kinds of humor when mixed together right. But as the sole technique for injecting humor in the story? On the other hand, this kind of humor is so common in manga that I'm sure many like it. But for those that like humor to be witty or clever or take some sort of intelligence, timing, and skill to create...you probably don't want to look here.

To the manga's credit, despite the very familiar tropes present in the plot, it's execution of these elements is a little less generic than usual. Making the main character equally (or more?) preoccupied with his son's situation and romantic issues throws off the focus from what we're used to, and it does make the plot seem fresher. Still, in the end, the main focus is the humor and the humor style was entirely uninteresting to me. If I want to read a silly comedy gay-father-and-gay-son-deal-with-the-other-being-gay yaoi, I'd opt for a reread of Satosumi Takaguchi's admittedly frequently ridiculous—but also clever, wry, tender, romantic, and infinitely more emotionally genuine—Shout Out Loud! to this any day.

Tetsuo is a 32 years old porn comic artist. When he was 17 yd, he had a son with his best friend's sister, an older woman who, since then, always takes care of the son alone. But now she has to move for work and Haruka wants to live with Tetsuo, to be near his friends. Tetsuo is not a man used to be a father and plus in this moment his life is not so good, he has a two years impotence and he begins to reflect his personal life problems on the work.

When Haruka moves on with Tetsuo, he is no more the kid Tetsuo remembers; the boy is very sexually free (even if, truth be told, he is still a teen with the habits of a teen) and plus he pretends to be gay and in love with one of his highschool mate, Tamaki. Meanwhile Tetsuo makes a chance encounter in a X-rated theatre with another man, Momoyama, innocent and naivee, and Tetsuo, almost without realizing it, makes a move on the man, who, since that moment on, is obsessed with Tetsuo, thinking to be in love.

Tetsuo is perplexed, he doesn't understand his feelings, and he is also worrying for Haruka's friend, Tamaki, a shy and young boy, gentle and with a troubled family behind; where Tetsuo seems unable to be a father with Haruka, he seems to go on well with Tamaki. But there is another important and constant presence in Tetsuo's life, his best friend and Haruka's uncle, Michiro. For all these years Michiro has always been there for Tetsuo and also for Haruka, but he is only a friend, or he would like to be something more for Tetsuo?

Actually Tetsuo has his plate full with all these boys around him. The only one I'm sure he is not interested in a sentimental way is his son Haruka, for all the others I don't know. Esthetically I would like for him to choose Michiro, he is for sure the most handsome of the lot, but also Momoyama is so cute and innocent, I feel sorry for him, since I have not the feeling that, in the end, Tetsuo will choose him. And the Tamaki... he is too young for Tetsuo and then there is Haruka. I hope for him that Tetsuo's interested is only in a fatherly way.

This is the one of three volume, and I think I will find the answers to my questions only in the last one...
