This manga is one I hold dear and close to my heart. It is also the first yaoi manga that made me sob uncontrollably when I first read its one-shot prequel (Tadayoedo Shizumazu Saredo Naki Mo Sezu- to drift away without sinking, to depart without crying). This is not because I am an emotional person who cries easily but rather because of the arrestingly beautiful depiction of the story by the author. The one thing that makes this manga stand out the most is the author's unparalleled ability to convey the message of the story clearly to the readers. Every single word, expression and even
...
drawing of the seemingly plain surroundings come together beautifully to create a unique world of the author's creation, causing readers to empathize with the characters without fail, thus making even the most apathetic person become an emotional wreck.
Story:
Depicts the lives of a masochistic, slutty, cunning yakuza with a miserable past and the impotent, aloof, hachiko-like ex-cop-turned-yakuza who is hopelessly in love with him.
Art:
Hauntingly beautiful, outstanding, marvelous, one of a kind (the kind that makes you despair because you have no artistic talent whatsoever).
Characters:
Main characters whose sufferings will make you feel for them and want to hug them tight.
Even minor characters are memorable and make you thirst for more of their appearances in the manga.
Enjoyment:
I reread and reread it again while waiting for the updates. Other yaoi mangas pale in comparison.
Overall:
I really hope Yashiro finds happiness and this will always be my favourite yaoi manga.
