This manga has everything and a little bit more: hot sex scenes, lots of drama, and some comic relief. I was in awe at how neatly it is laid out, you get a taste of everything without feeling like one is overpowering. Sometimes the mood changes in the blink of an eye and you are thrown into a whirlpool. Harada really wrote a brilliant manga.

The last thing I expected from YataMomo was to be emotional. The plot is awesome, and the characters more so. Yata is a lovely guy, looks mean, but he’s actually kind (with a weakness for everything cute). He is also a very… ... energetic man. Momo is the type of character you might not expect to like. He doesn’t value himself, he doesn’t (didn’t) make an effort, he gambles, he is willing to do anything for money and he laughs everything off like it’s not a big deal. The laughing off part is what made me want to hug him and don’t let go. Luckily, Yata had the same impulse.

Despite Momo’s personality it’s almost impossible to not like him and Yata doesn’t leave his side. Even more, he sees through Momo’s façade and sneaks right through the cracks. It was great to read about everything Yata and Momo went through and I plan on looking up some more of Harada’s works. If YataMomo is this good, I want to know what else is out there.

Well, first of all, I must say this story is one of the best from Harada-sensei. Harada is specialized in yaoi and yaoi doujinshi. I can't find any Harada profile online so I have completely no idea if sensei is a man or woman. However, I have a strong feeling that sensei is a smart-looking modern woman, so I will refer to sensei as "she" if you don't mind.
In general, Harada works are full of explicit sex scenes which are exciting and sweet at the same time. If you find this disturbing, then please keep in mind that when it comes to yaoi, sex sells. ... Haha. Enough of chit chat, let's go straight into details.

One night, Yata went joggind and accidentally found Momo clearing c*m out of his a$$ in a public toilet. Momo offered Yata a BJ in exchange for money since he had gone broken few minutes ago. Instead of feeling disgusting and running away, Yata gently cheered Momo up and gave him his jacket together with his address. "If you completely have no place to stay, I can let you stay at mine for just one night." That's when the story began.

To make it short, it's a story about saved and savior. The kind and warm-hearted Yata truly changed Momo deep from the bottom of his heart. Momo gave up his sad and empty life as a f*ckboy to set up a serious relationship with Yata. Together, they went through all the hardships awaiting, then reached the happy ending.
Harada is very famous for "her" psycho characters, which make up outstanding plot twist and character buildings. You will never run out of surprise, joy, excitement, "aww so cute!" and "hahaha this part really killed me". Above all, the story is short enough to enjoy for a single night.
I swear you will love it even if you're not really into yaoi!

Yatamomo is brilliant.

It delivers a brilliant character development and it's s story that gets you interested.
It manages to combine sex and good plot together in one yaoi. You only have to read until v2 to feel complete.

Overal:
This manga is worth a read and should be shown love and support through its brilliant and quick story telling. Unlike other yaoi's that only show the sex, rape, or basic and comfy story line. This yaoi doesn't even discriminate by how the uke or seme don't question about being gay or confused about changing sexuality.

If you want to read a yaoi that will fill a hole ... inside you that you never knew existed. then read Yatamomo.
