The gallery is run by a young man who is lazy, disheveled, rude, but is an art genius. His name is Tanizaki and he loves art. He doesn't look very professional but really knows his pieces of art and his art history.This series is one of my top favorites by Toko Kawai. Its written in an episodic fashion where each chapter can stand alone unless its to be continued. The two main characters, Tanizaki and Nakai, are already an established couple so there's none of the repetitive uke being confused about his sexuality and the seme putting unnecessary pressure on the uke. The two don't flaunt their love but its shown on several occasions. Its sometimes subtle, sometimes its blatant but everytime its sweet.There is also alot of famous artist featured and some made up ones but all the art featured were pieces I'd never seen or didn't know them as well as I thought I did.Definitely pick this one up and don't forget vol. 2 which is also out now. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good read *by M***X on Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2016* I enjoyed it, and will be loaning it to some fellow yaoi friends. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Two very appealing characters. Stories with depth and feelings. *by I***O on Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2010* Brooklyner has given a great review on this one. As for myself, Toko Kawai is a must have and I am glad DMP has released most if not all of her works.Finally we have the story of Tanizaki and Nakai who were first introduced at the end of Our Everlasting 2. I love both characters.Tanizaki is such an interesting guy, sloven and laid back in appearance but really smart, a deep thinker and intriguing. And course handsome and cool. I am sure there will be more on his pasts in Vol 2. As for Nakai, he has an open personality and your sweet uke and his unquestioned love and passion for Tanizaki makes him especially appealing.Here are 3 stories as a buried mystery, a child's hope and the spite of a vengeful mind are laid to rest by Tanizaki's skills in art forgery whether it is for better or worse.The first story on a dead artist's painting is bittersweet as unfulfilled love leads to robbery of said painting. And it is up to Tanizaki to reveal the mystery and maybe helps the one left behind to heal.The second story is filled with youthful innocence. A neglected child is plagued by guilt over his sick sister who is on the verge of turning blind. Maybe a little lie is the answer or maybe not. This story may seem simple and may not be for the cynical but it is imbued with a sweet sadness. And Nakai's ramblings over his own action towards the end just add a bit more. My favorite is the last story. It is the longest, very well done, with a darker tone yet laced with a touch of melancholy. Tanizaki's skills in art forgery are tested to its limit here when his dead grandfather's bitter rival laid a sinister trap out to bankrupt "In the Walnut". Given to him by his dead grandfather, Tanizaki is not about to let his art gallery fail. Tanizaki turns the table on his bitter rival but in the process he has to involve Nakai in his plot and just might hurt Nakai's innocence and deep love for him.I love the chemistry between Tanizaki and Nakai. Nakai is open with his love but also filled with insecurity now and then at Tanizaki's seemingly unconcerned attitude. But it is no doubt that Tanizaki loves Nakai in his own ways amidst the teasing. After all Nakai was the main reason Tanizaki abandoned his lucrative modeling career even if Nakai has a hand in it. But knowing Tanizaki's character, he is not someone who cares for such status in the entertaining world.This book at over 230 pages is especially thick. The last 40 pages include a reprint of their little story at the end of Our Everlasting 2 as well as new revelations on their earlier days. For me this is an added bonus as now we have their whole story compiled. We get to know how Tanizaki ended up owing "In the Walnut" and I hope the reason for his bitterness when attending his grandfather's funeral will be revealed in future volumes.Toko Kawai is a wonderful mangaka. Her stories have depth and are laced with sensitivity and "In The Walnut" is no exception. Even if lacking the really explicit scenes, In the Walnut excels because of its story lines, deep feelings and such appealing characters in Tanizaki and Nakai. And I just love her expressive artwork.I hope Vol 2 will be released as schedule and even that may not be the end of this couple. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/19797455-in-the-walnut-yaoi-paperback-january-26-2010](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/19797455-in-the-walnut-yaoi-paperback-january-26-2010) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
