Comments:
This was the second novel I read by Narise Konohara, so I already had a bit of an assumption as to what it would be like. Even so, I think the book still far exceeded my expectations, that is aside from its obvious grammatical and spelling errors. You have Yuichi, your already-out-of-the-closest gay man, and his boss Imakura, who's still but a chubby little Momma's boy. Shove the two of them on a deserted island for a several weeks and you get tons of crack! You can clearly see and feel how both characters evolve from the beginning of the novel to the end of the novel. You also get a clear view of how and why these two became a pair and how fragile such a relationship's bond can truly be.
Note: This novel is something of a prequel to the The Man Who Doesn't Take Off His Clothes novels, only it features a different couple. This novel is about Yuichi Higashiyama and his previous workplace before settling into the R&D department of Cavi Cosmestics. In The Man Who Doesn't Take Off His Clothes, Yuichi is a side character and befriends Anna Kaitaini, the main character of that novel series.
Summary
During a research expedition, Yuichi and his useless boss Imakura are accidentally left on a deserted island. As Yuichi tries to help his boss adjust to the sudden change of lifestyle, Imakura's selfish ways cause the two to split. As loneliness creeps in and several days pass without seeing Imakura anywhere, Yuichi heads back to make sure his boss is still alive. While these two are adjusting to life on a deserted island, Imakura's mother and Yuichi's younger brother are dragged all over Japan in search of the two of them! With such a fragile bond, can Yuichi and Imakura's relationship continue even after returning to civilization?
Story Snippet
Snippet from Don't Worry Mama on Pages 80-81
Since he'd seen Imakura's penis, he just couldn't stop imagining himself sucking it. Each day, the desire to touch it, to blow it, got stronger and stronger.
"Is something wrong," Imakura asked from across the room with a mouth full of potatoes. He had no idea that he'd become Yuichi's jerk off fantasy. "Are you worried that we're running out of food?"
The words were a good insight into Imakura's priorities but Yuichi laughed and said that wasn't the case. As if relieved by Yuichi's answer, Imakura sipped at his rabbit soup again. From time to time as he sipped the tip of his tongue would show. Yuichi could not take his eyes off this, and when he noticed, Yuichi started to gulp down his own soup to hide his behavior.
"I'm going for a walk." Yuichi stood and Imakura looked at him curiously.
"There is no moon tonight. It's dark."
This didn't stop Yuichi, who said that he would not be long.
"You really like walking. You go out every night."
Yuichi heard Imakura as he was leaving and had to laugh. Walking down the path in the dark, Yuichi came to a small field and crouched. He took his penis and rubbed it frantically. Of course his mind was on the man sipping soup back at the house. He fantasized raping Imakura from the front, back and every other position. It's not that he liked walks. If he didn't get off there was no way he could sleep. he didn't even jerk off this much in high school. When he realized that, he couldn't help but be ashamed by his obsession. When he got back the house was dark. They had candles but they were running out so they only used them when they had to. Imakura must be in his fution because he could see the large mound inside.
