I am sure by now that everyone who reads yaoi manga has certainly read this series by now...and it is very good. I have trouble finding the English versions of it
and when I do find them the volumes are so overly-priced/inflated that it is absurd to pay really serious money for them...and I have even tried to purchase volumes in other languages only to be let down by the seller that it is unavailable...
aside from that ---the volumes I do possess are really great and I have re-read them many times far into the night.
A note about the artwork: sometimes it ... is right on and then off again....but I forgive the author-artist for that because of the storyline and it was (at the time)
a new manga series-more than likely rushed into production.
The artist and the art become more polished as well as the storyline.
What I love about Japanese manga-ka is that they are not afraid of turns and twists and portraying the dark side of life because as we all know---sugar*poo
happens---I wish the publisher would re-issue new editions of this series...
it is too good to miss.

I will quickly recap my recommendation: these two guys were born cool and hip...
the story is quick, sly, foxy, sexy, cool, urbane, and hip...I know they are high school students but they remind me of a few rare friends that I knew in high school.
This couple were "born" for one another...and I found them instantly attractive
and very witty...and they are not afraid to get ugly with one another or anyone
else for that matter...I highly recommend that you read this series...I am currently
stuck on volume 2--I am waiting impatiently for volume 3 to be released and it is not
forthcoming ... which is making my impatience worse...well, I guess I have to deal with
it--like it or lump it... it is the rare manga series that I loved EVERYTHING about it.
I guess I like boys that are rough around the edges...but the story and the characters ring true to life...and I don't want to cite any examples of the story line and sub-story lines--it will be spoilers all around--one just has to GET it and READ it !
Previously I cited that the story rings true for me because you know ugly things happen in life and the author-artist is unsparing in the use of truth and sometimes
it is quite shocking and I like to be shocked--and that's a very good thing--it keeps one grounded and of course, not too frou-frou girly ... so if you want to give this
series a whirl --go for it--
