A new book from Ichijinsha, erotically (?) named “Your Body, Your Heart, They Belong to Me”, has gone on sale this week.
Copiously illustrated with manga artwork to instruct novices in the art of bondage, particularly shibari, the book is of course available in many of Akiba’s finest stores, which have taken the opportunity to create inspired product displays, as can be seen above…
The book carries the rather lengthy full title of 身体も心もボクのもの ~はじめてのSMガイド~ / “Your Body, Your Heart, They Belong to Me ~First Time SM Guide” and is 121 pages long.
It comes from the same staff that previously made the helpful 30歳の保健体育 / “30-year-old’s Physical Education” love guide for men who have earned the illustrious achievement of entering their 30s without ever having touched a woman.
The above display in Gamer’s main store is skillfully eye-catching.
It does appear that someone at the Gamers staff knows how to use a rope!
Perhaps he bought the book?
The sign reads, in part:
The SM that’s all the rage (?) in the city!!
Illustrated so that you can easily learn!
Unfortunately, the copy of the book with the rope is not a special edition of some kind, as the red text informs customers that the rope is a staff member’s “personal property”.
The Tora no Ana main store also has the book well advertised, with the sign announcing:
“I’m actually really interested in SM play, but…
I don’t have someone I can do it with…
and even if I did, I wouldn’t have any confidence in it…”
It’s OK!
With this book, you can master the fundamentals of SM play!!!
The closeness of Kyon and Itsuki’s faces to the sign might inadvertently bring some rather vivid images to mind…
The recently opened Comic Zin store offers this:
Make the “this and that” sort of play you’ve seen in your dreams a reality!
S sugoku (super…)
M majimede (seriously…)
Easy to learn!!
Read and you too can become a master!!
Everyone is by now most likely eager to see some of the content inside the book:
Via AkibaOS and Akiba Blog.
The book is available on Amazon, if you find yourself in need of SM instruction.
There are also these free diagrams available for instructional use…

ROMANCE
I sooo want that book!
whoever that buy this book
is classified as dangerous in my POV
.. if the girl refused ? kya~
i dont wanna think about it D :
I promise you that as a consummate gentlelady, I will not force it on anyone who doesn't want it. No means no and I respect that.
You may be nice enough to do so, but someone else....there's always a WHAT EEF
There are always people who will use baseball bats to beat up other people instead of using them to play baseball, people who drink alcohol to get themselves in the mood for beating up other people, islamists who transform cars into bombs etc. etc. But neither baseball bats, alcohol or cars are banned. You see the problem? The possibility that someone might misuse something as a means to cause harm to others is always there. It doesn't matter whether it's BDSM or something else.
If you tie someone up against their will it's abuse. This has nothing to do with this book. Once you start using this line of thinking, you'll have to ban anything and everything.
this book looks like an interesting read and lol at the product display XDDD
Isn't Momoyama Jiroh enough for this S&M stuff?
You're vastly underestimating the interest in S&M among the world's population. Besides, he isn't even among the truly accomplished BDSM mangaka (IMO).
Try Homuraya, Spark Utamaro, Lilish, Shizuki Shinra, Naka, Champion RED, Hachi/Atelier/whatever, Inoue Yoshihisa, the list goes on and on. xD
Wish i could order this but Amazon.co.jp dont accpet any of my usual payment methods :(
I noticed it on HMV
http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/product/detail/3568111
It may show a different image for it on that page, but when you put it in the shopping cart, it shows the actual cover there
Is this coming out in english? can someone scan it plz i want to be a master in the arts of bondage
Quen: magimede should be changed to majimede
Whoa, you're right! It really does say that the author is Quen! I hope this isn't a joke. If not, WELCOME BACK, QUEN!!! And with such a nice article to boot.
Anonymous - thanks for pointing it out, what a silly typo to not notice.
Shuu - Thanks! Although, this is actually my second post since I returned.
Yeah, I looked around the forums for a bit and it's actually common knowledge already that you've returned. I guess I just started assuming every post is either by Artefact or Linkinstreet and stopped looking which contributor actually wrote the article. Anyway, it's nice to have you back. Don't leave us ever again ;_;
I WANT YOU! èvé
Does anyone know if this is legal material to ship to Australia? I am seriously thinking of buying and shipping it here.
The only problem is that the customs people might interpret this as loli porn...
It is educational material though, so it should pass the Australian equivalent of the Miller test. But of course that's just me applying common sense. Don't expect the same from overzealous prosecutes.
* prosecutors
Why the fuck didn't my spell checker pick this up >_>
Probably because prosecutes is still a properly spelled word, even if it wasn't the one you intended to use.
You're right. I had to look this one up. English not my first language ^_^;
I'm not Australian, but I did a little looking into customs regulations to try and help you out. I couldn't get as clear of information as I would have liked, but..maybe I can be of a little help? That's my hope, at least.
I don't think the bondage aspect would be too much of an issue (I didn't find any laws against it and I've seen adult book stores based in Australia selling bondage-related books) but you might be at a bit of a risk on account of the age aspect - the customs folks might view the characters as childish. I haven't seen any other manga-like works that have gotten the b&hammer, so I don't have anything to compare it to.
You could, perhaps, contact a local customs officer and ask them. I know that'd probably be a bit awkward, but... IDK. :\a Better than spending cash on something you won't be allowed to have, I suppose?
How were you planning to buy it, if you don't mind my asking? Are you thinking of going through a middleman service based out of Japan?
I am planning on using Amazon Japan. I have friends who had them ship books before from Japan straight to the doorstep.
So soon there will be more articles about "accidents" to do with this
In picture number 5, my eyes immediately gravitated to the doujinshi on the left with "Mmmm..."
Guess I'm truly a yaoi fangirl.
Damn, I'd like this!
Unfortunately, I have no hubby to practice this with. Oh well, it will have to wait. Dx
Although it would probably be awkward to bring up the fact that I'm interested in SM...
i really want a translated copy of this
nice. ebook please.
i already have it, anyone interested in translating it?
People who buy it are really sick........Japanese people are sick too
and you know your just an ignorant twat? right? :P..you dont have to a sick fuck to be intrested in doing something kinky with your significant other
I've always been curious on how they do that rope "suit", just for learning purposes, don't really have anyone to even try normal stuff T_T
Don't be sad, you'll find someone... But I'm not sure if she/he would like to be tied like that...
Personally, it's a little scary for me xD
i'd buy one if i could, there's no scans somewhere?
I fucking stood right there when I was in japan a couple months ago. Shit yeah, k's books.
i'd buy it if i could, there's no scans somewhere?
The only people who'll buy those are people who do not have a life or people who wanted to try those to someone.
U are stupid, u know?
"people who wanted to try those to someone."
Duh. I'm getting tired of explaining what BDSM is about every second article, so I'll just leave it at that.
You're funny, you know?
Nice stuff~ They should provide each copy with a rope though...
Which reminds me,
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei should come with its own rope too...
a new breed of expert rapists >=D
I already tied up Equality Now, but I can't find a guy or girl drunk enough to take advantage of it
nobody likes fem bitches
Feminists aren't the problem, Equality Now is being stupid but they don't deserve to be raped. :<
I like how this one is Anon.
Tie those feminazis up but somewhere out of our sight please.
This might attract rapist....
Er, why? Lots of healthy couples do bondage play you idiot, and there's nothing sadistic about the pics, the illustrated girl looks really happy.
>>the illustrated girl looks really happy.
She seems nonplussed and mildly embarrassed to me.
Nonplussed and mildly embarrassed does not equal unhappy. Imagine you were a young girl trying this out for the first time. What would your reaction be?
i see your trap comment that you wanted to get replied for your own interests
