Tsukasa is a "cold beauty" (I think this should be a typical Japanese stereotype, since it's the second time I found it in an yaoi novel...). He is so beautiful that people around him think that he doesn't need to be properly loved but only admired, and when someone dares to reach for him, he finds a totally different guy, a guy who is not so selfish and selfcontrolled as he seems, and also a guy who needs to be cherished and protected, and above all romantically loved. Yes since Tsuka...more
How should I start my review? My first encounter with yaoi novel was little bit off. I was dragged by the description the back of the book. The first mistake of the beginner or victim of yaoi craving sealed my destiny and let my purse bleed a bit. The salerymen are my passion and having the steamy secretary and boss affair book in my hands promised at least a fetishist delight. Nope there was none of it. Tsukasa Shinozaki did not like it up to his ass, he sleeps with his boss but his boss had fe...more
My Review: After being dumped by his lover and boss in favour of the company president's daughter, Tsukasa Shinozaki is convinced he has no taste or discretion when it comes to men. When a beautiful stranger hits on him in a hotel bar, Tsukasa can't help but take the invitation, only to find his new mystery man refuses to reveal his identity. Despite this, he decides to continue the illicit relationship, and tries to make himself believe he isn't falling for his secretive lover. It isn't until ...more
Cool Beauty Tsukasa is heartbroken and feeling desolate. With little to inspire him, he resorts to a night of drowning his sorrow in a bottle, if for no other reason than to forget what a fool he was, to have been so taken in by his boss and them dumped when something more lucrative came onto the horizon.
Never in his wildest dream would he believe that he would be picked up at the bar by a man who looks like he could have have anyone he wants, and apparently he wanted Tsukasa and Tsuka...more

This is basically a romance with an office setting, or if you need to get specific, a secretary and boss affair, only with guys. Not saying that lightly. For all the controversy a title like this can have (and I am speaking for a moment as a librarian), this is basically a romance novel, fairly heavy on the sex that involves two guys instead of a heterosexual couple. What I am trying to say is that is that is is not a big deal as some people would make it out to be. Now, leaving that aside, let'...more
Tsukasa Shinozaki is lonely and trying to drown his sorrows in a hotel bar when he's approached by a mysterious stranger. After being dumped by his lover and former boss for a woman he's shocked and flattered by the attentions of the handsome stranger and decides to indulge in a night of sexual release with the sexy man.
This first night leads to months of weekly meetings with the mystery man. Tsukasa is caught between his need to continue the affair with the unknown man and his growi...more

Tsukasa Shinozaki is not a good judgement of men. He has not had great experiances and ends up feeling down.
One night at a hotel bar a stranger tells him to meet him in his room. That night Tsukasa experiances pleasure unlike any before.
He doesn't find out the stranger's name. But the man tells him to meet him there again, Same time next week.
This was my first yaoi novel. Even after reading the explaination I still don't know if I really understand it. =). I liked...more

This book seems to hit all my right kinks (Focus on my). There is the boss-employee relationship. There is Tsukasa who is a needy submissive. And yet he does not turn me off. Especially not when the very alpha male Director takes control of Tsukasa. Certain parts make me cringe slightly, but not enough to stop me from revisiting this story again. The smut is definitely a contributing factor to that, together with two characters that grows on a person.
A fairly typical yaoi storyline with nothing really original added, which I might have liked when I first got into the genre but now I'm not into it so much. The characters are pretty typical as well, cliche seme and uke roles with one being stoic and wholly indecipherable and the other being super insecure. There was a little character development, but it felt rather half-assed to me and the author could have done a bit more. Also, there were some awkward word choices in the text which made it ...more
This was a cute guilty-pleasure read. I would have given it more stars if the ending hadn't been so abrupt and left so much unresolved but overall I enjoyed this. Of course, the roles and plot are pretty stereotypical but I liked that the main characters cared about each other and it was nice to have a strong yet romantic and caring seme instead of the brutes we tend to see so much of in yaoi. 3.5 stars
This is your typical yaoi novel - graphic, beautifully illustrated, encompassing all the themes that make Yaoi what it is; a weak and beautiful uke, a strong yet cold seme, sex without attachment, blossoming love, antagonists, and angst, angst, and did i mention angst? And it's wonderful and a fun little read and worth the illustrations alone.
It had been a while since I'd read ant yaoi and this was a good story. Tsukasa was an adorable self doubting uke. There were a few places that felt a bit ackward but I put those down to translation difficulties.
kindle edition.
Random stranger sex turns more complex as the two people involved ed up having to work together.

This was the first yaoi novel that I've ever read so I have special connection with it. It's the reason I started to search for more and more yaoi novels to read (I find yaoi novels better than yaoi mangas). Both characters are likeable. Sex scenes - hot. Story line - great.

awesome!
"Caged Slave" is one of the few books that pull off lots of sex. This is because there is a pretty good plot. It can almost be called the perfect Salaryman yaoi manga.
Despite the ever common, not asking questions resulting in misunderstandings, the combinations of plot and passion are fun to read and provide a good story.
The classic yaoi related flaws can be overlooked making this a good book.

Oh dear GOD, how insecure can a charater be?
This book is page after page of flangst about whether Tsukasa is worthy of love, and how his relationships always end badly, and ultimately, who could ever love him?
The answer is not me.
It's dull, cliched, and ultimately left me wanting to explain to someone that semen should never be referred to as honey. Ever.

So, it would appear it's not yaoi I like reading sex in but yaoi manga only because I found myself doing the same thing I do in my m/m ebooks and started skimming the sex... Huh, who would have thunk it?! I like pictures better than words! *gasp* Does that make me a perv? *scratches head*

VERY predictable. Still read it all the way through, though. Very stereotypical story.
Short and smutty with a good amount of fluff and surprises.
