Review: Year Two (Would It Be Okay to Love You? #4) by Amy Tasukada

An ex-playboy. A robot geek. Can their love last when the whole world finds out?

Robot fanboy Sato has spent too much time alone hiding the love of his life. But when Sato comes out to his parents, it doesn’t end well. He no longer wants to conceal their relationship, but he doubts his boyfriend is ready.

Aoi might spend all day moaning as an erotic voice actor, but he doubts his legion of fangirls will approve if he comes out. With his career on the line, Aoi feels like Sato has pushed him to the breaking point.

As Sato opens up to more people about his sexuality, can they find a compromise that will make them both happy, or will it be too much for Aoi?

Year Two is the fourth book in the gay romance series Would It Be Okay to Love You? If you like Japanese culture and sizzling romance, you’ll love this year-in-the-life anthology collection.

This continues to be super super sweet, and I’ve elevated my rating because along with the sugar, there’s also some heartfelt feels and a bit of light angst.

Aoi and Sato have come a long long way, and their relationship has moved beyond the initial lust and attraction to something much deeper, something more serious and worthy.

Still adorable, these two have to decide how to move forward, as the question now is how honest and open should they make their relationship in regards to family, friends, and the general public, especially as Aoi gains more and more notoriety by voice acting popular “boy love” manga.

Both are great likeable characters, but Sato is the real standout here. Sturdy and unwavering in his support and love, he just has to win Aoi over in not being afraid to live honestly, and he does this with understanding, kindness, and patience.

Overall, this continues to be a consistent, feel good, cavity inducing look at these two and how they navigate various events and milestones in their lives, where at times, challenging and scary but always with the best intentions and desire to make the other happy! Here’s to many more years for Aoi and Sato to come!
