One of the most underrated mangas ever.

Story: - the strongest point of this manga, in my opinion. It was so new and refreshing! Finally there were some serious thoughts about man loving man, not just a fluffy love story without any sense behind it (99% of yaoi). You don't often see a happily married man who really loves his wife to end up with another man in the end. The story was really special and somehow touching.

Art: one word - amazing. You know some authors tend to draw beautiful pictures but have to write a lot to explain the expression/thought of the character. This one ... is not like that. You will find a lot of bare drawings, but from the character's facial expression or movement you can understand everything. I think that is what's called having a talent to draw.

Characters: very appealing, very different. Each of them has their own development through the manga.

Enjoyment: I would recommend this manga to literally everyone. It was an extremely enjoyable read for me. Just go for it.

I cannot believe this manga doesn't have a review yet. It's a freaking masterpiece!

Story 10
The story revolves around a couple of high school friends who haven't seen each other for ten years. They used to be in love with each other, each in their own way. The characters are very likable and very real. The story doesnt have this unnecessary and stupid yaoi fluffiness but real, raw feelings, which leaves you craving for more.

Art 10
If I could, I would give it a 12. The art is so amazing that I spent like 2 hours on 4 chapters, looking carefully at every facial expression, every clothes ... detail. It amazes me how a manga can feel so real.

Overall enjoyment 10
I've read literally thousands of mangas but this is the 2nd time I felt the need to write a review. If you stumble upon this manga just READ IT. It will bring out a mix of happy/sad emotions from the deepest parts of your soul.

"Haters will hate", that is for sure. If you are against incest and screaming "Yuck, disgusting!" every time you hear anything about brother-sister love, then don't even bother. For those who like forbidden love (which is really touching, it brought tears to my eyes quite a few times) this anime is highly recommended.

I will not go deep into the plot. I can only say that since I watched this anime about 4 years ago I've rewatched it at least 10 times already, recommended it to numerous friends, read the manga and am still waiting for an anime sequel to come. But that probably won't happen... ... So as you can understand, this anime follows the first chapters of the manga and you will have to read the manga if you want to know what happened next. And trust me, you will.

The characters are really well-thought and the brother, Yori, is a typical dreamy man who would make any girl's heart pound. The anime doesn't have any obvious sex scenes (guys probably disappointed here), so if you are looking for a more mature version you should definitely check out the manga.

Overall, my enjoyment of this anime gets a score of 11. Ah damn, I can only give it 10. It deserves a hinger score though
