Finder Deluxe Edition: Target in Sight, Vol. 1 (Yaoi Manga) Kindle & comiXology

I started Finder many years ago when it first was issued. I hadn’t yet read the latest 3 volumes, so I decided to re-read from the beginning. Akihito is a news photographer who comes into the cross hairs of Asami, a powerful Yakuza boss, while perusing a story. Asami kidnaps him and “teaches him a lesson” on investigating the wrong people. Akihito ends up in danger again after trusting the wrong cop and is shocked when Asami saves him.I had forgotten that the first volume only has about one third devoted to Finder, the rest is composed of three short tales: 1) Love Lesson, a brief story of a high school student involved with his class president, 2) Plants in Love, another brief about two students who discover their single fathers are romantically involved and they find themselves attracted to each other also and 3) Risky Society, a longer story about secret agents on a mission who end up in bed together after one is injured on a mission. This new deluxe edition closes with two more Finder tales. The first is a quick interlude when Asami shows up at Akihito’s place to “get out of the rain” and seduce him, of course! The second is a bonus for this deluxe edition. It’s a non-continuity story of Akihito working at a spa, to pay for his stay after his wallet was stolen. And Asami and Fei Long both just happen to come stay and take advantage of the new staff member. What hooked me on Finder was how different it was from so much high school yaoi. The main characters are all adults, the story is gritty and sometimes brutal. And the sex is explicit. Readers should be warned there is rape in the story, as befitting a story about Yakuza, Triad, drug dealers and smuggling. So, it's not for everyone.I’ve owned both the Be Beautiful editions and the June editions of Finder. These SuBlime deluxe editions are by far the best. I had no idea how poor the prior translations were until I read this edition. The dialog and plot are now completely coherent, and the story flows smoothly. Additionally, SuBlime includes a beautiful full color, double sided fold out and the bonus stories at the end of each volume. The Mangaka also has an afterward, explaining how Finder was originally supposed to be an S&M collection. Overall, this is my favorite Yaoi series and I am so glad to have these new, vastly improved editions.

Got new

So I am eagerly awaiting the day I can purchase volume 10 and reading the first nine volumes again. This never gets old. I really wish they would do a proper animation for this series. Finder is so well written and the characters end up holding a special place in your heart and memories for life. I like the thought of Takiba being with both Asami and Fei Long. I've read a bit of volume on one of those sites but because I really want to support the manganka and the industry I stopped to wait on either the hardcover or the digital book to hit the U.S. market. Come on Bezos! Work it out already.

I wanted this manga for myself becuz the characters are so sauce and strong! Asami is cold when teaching a serious lessen about putting your nose in his business but then he began to enjoy and care for the extruder and finally labeled him as his and his alone!! A boss can do that and no one should ever question his decree if they want to live!! I'm pissed that I couldn't find volume 2. I want EVERY darn part of Asami with no questions asked or I'll be totally disappointed!!

great read, cant wait to see where this series gos

Love the story! The translation isn’t too far off from others but there are small locations that the translation doesn’t do well in. If you’ve never read the story before you probably won’t notice. Also the last little extra story should not be put here. Some of it won’t make sense until after a different part of the main story that doesn’t occur in vol 1.

I absolutely love this series and Yamane Ayano’s art work. Asami and Akihito’s relationship style is my most sought after when I’m looking for something to read. I love a dominant/submissive relationship where the submissive partner still has a strong personality. So much love 😍😍😍

I read this in a day. That's how much i like the finder series. I'm currently getting more.

A very basic and under developed story line which heavily focused on graphic and impromptu sex.It was an ok read, but I might not continue the series

Once I started reading I could not put it down. An excellent collection and great artwork. Thank you so much for this. Just what I needed tonight.

Love this series. Characters are great and its really funny. I'm a nube to her writing and I love it.Long may she keep us amused and a bit hot under the collar.

I love this series so much! I'm glad that it is published after a long time again! :D
