Since Ao was a kid, his neighbor Ryoumei has been like a brother to him (because Ao didn't seem to have friends and he felt like being at home when he was at Ryoumeis place). Ao has felt that Ryoumei is like a God to him - cool, admirable and always there when he needs him. But now that Ao is seventeen, he is having a wet dream about he and Ryoumei. He realized quickly that Ryoumei isn't just the person he admires. He has become a person that Ao is in love with. Well, without any hesitation, Ao immediately tells Ryoumei that he wantsto do perverted things together. Of course he is not intrested and tries to tell Ao that his feelings are just a whim. But because their past - Ryoumei doesn't hate the kid because his weird words (but he is is shocked anyway). He believes that things will settle down. In a matter of time. He doesn't know that Ao is very serious and stubborn when it comes to his lovelife with Ryomei. Yume Musubi, Koi Musubi is very interesting manga because of the story which is rare in yaoi genre. I have read only couple yaoi mangas that has a plot but this is one of my favorites. Very enjoyable and I hope that rest of the chapters will be released soon. Really can't wait. ~ Positive: storyline is interesting and different, the art is beautiful, the story doesn't contain just sex scenes and pervy comments (well, I really don't mind if there are just sex ^__^, but I enjoy more if the story has a real plot). Negative: Sometimes the plot is progressing VERY slowly and sometimes I was thinking that the manga is actually shounen ai, not yaoi. About the character: Well, I hate the fact that Ao is a typical character in a yaoi manga. He is beautiful/cute, adorable and has typical lifestyle (in the end it doesn't mather, but I usually uke's are just a pretty boys who are so cute that you just wanna touch and hold them). There is also something in Ryoumei that bothers me; he isn't like a priest - at all. The most annoying thing is that Ao is always acting like a 10 year old kid - even he's 17.
High school student Ao has been dreaming about his longtime neighbor Ryomei, a priest at the local Shinto shrine. A little freaked out--and a lot excited--at the prospect of having a relationship with Ryomei, Ao gathers up his courage, confesses his feelings...and gets turned down flat. Luckily, Ao's not the kind to give up easily. Thanks to some creative persistence (and Ryomei's weakening resolve), he finally gets a kiss. But one single kiss won't satisfy him for long!

This is one of the better written stories I've come across! Every character is likable and the comedy isn't forced. The pace is steady, the development between the pairing is (at least, in my opinion) realistic. This can also be said with the relationships the other characters have with each other. The drama wasn't overly done as most yaoi tend to be, a fact that I very much appreciated. The age difference between the pairing was handled smoothly and responsibly. The only thing that bothered me was that it didn't specify the exact age of Royumei. At some parts it seems like the author mightfall into a cliche and highly predictable pothole... but does not! The main characters are so much their own person and the author is able to portray what the other party is thinking and feeling all at the same time. I love, love, love this story. Highly recommend it. 10/10.
This Yaoi was quite a good read to try out, even though it's not my personal favourite because it's like your typical seme and uke love story type of vibe. I'm sure some Yaoi\shounen readers can relate to that feeling when it comes to reading thousands of them out there lol. I like the fact the uke was a twin and the seme was definitely a tsundere character. It gave the feeling of wanting you as the reader to wanting to understand them better as characters.I would've liked to see the other guys in the story having their own side stories like it would benice to see the friends of the seme and uke to get together at least. Also the ukes twin bro with the semes sister. Although the whole story with the seme and uke was good enough so I haven't much to complain about! I definitely would give this gay manga series a read if you haven't already. Its a decent easy read!
