Setona Mizushiro, nominated for an Eisner Award in 2007, is a prolific Japanese creator behind many works already translated into English- X-Day, After School Nightmare, and Black Rose Alice. Her josei series The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese is her first Boys' Love/BL work to be published in English.
The Carp on the Chopping Block Jumps Twice is an excellent yaoi drama that builds on the previous book but can be enjoyed as a standalone title. This reader certainly wouldn't be opposed to seeing more of Kyouichi and Imagase in the future. Recommended. --Brittany Vincent, Otaku USA
