The success of the Ryoichi Ikegami-Buronson duo is clear to anyone who has read their manga. When I started reading their respective bibliographies, I was blown away by Sanctuary, which had a scenario far superior to anything I'd seen at the time. Curious, I explored the rest and really liked it. I had to wait a long time to discover Heat, as there were no translations or official physical publications. Fortunately, this problem was solved recently and there is now a translation, as well as 12 of the 17 volumes available in French. And in my opinion: it was worth the wait!

The MC is your typical Buronson protagonist, but he lacks any originality; his motives are... just motives. I honestly don't know how to ...

I just can't believe there is literally no discussion about this manga on the english internet whatsoever considering it was written by such a big name which is Buronson. Heat is one of the few adult mangas that were published in the antique days of manga distribution in Poland (~2005), so we can assume it happens nowhere to be found outside our borders.
Sure I haven't finished reading that yet, but I feel obligated to write the first ever review or maybe just a recommendation for those who still don't know this one. People should really get invested in Heat! Japan, Shinjuku - Kabuki-cho, late ... |
