I have read alot of manga, but still comes back to read love mode for who knows how many times. Especially love the two main couples of the story. The characters are unique and different but they complete each other. The plot is realistic, not cliche, and full of love. Its 10/10!
This is a good series, but I've put off reading it for a long time because each time I try, I get really confused about the order of the stories. This is my fault for reading online instead of buying the manga. But just so you know, some of the sites have the chapters out of order, so don't let that deter you. Just find a different site, or a library (^^
Definitely worth the read! Agreeing with all the comments that it gets better as it goes along.

I definitely wish there was more! Kiishi needs more face time! I also would have liked more of a background story for their dad! And the Chinese people... Basically PLEASE WRITE MORE, SENSEI!!! yeah, a great story!

im...falling in love with this mangaka at quite the quick rate. i feel like she starts with a oneshot, expands into extra side stories and adds a little backstory, expands on the backstory and adds extra characters, expands and keep repeating...HOLY CRAP. and it doesn't feel disjointed or awkward, the story flows together so naturally. i really respect her writing and storytelling. really. it's quite a feat to continue writing in a developing universe. or maybe she had it all planned? haha, who knows.
i really love how the relationship between siblings is portrayed here, especially between reiji and kiichi. it's quite rare for a BL story to correctly portray and convey a close relationship between siblings while not suggesting that it go into ambiguous territory. although reiji and kiichi are shown in very close proximity in some scenes, those scenes never feel sexual in nature at all. amazing job.
reiji x naoya is my favorite couple BY FAR. they are beyond adorable. I LOVE THIS MANGA ;_;

Second time I read it and I still love it 
Don't mind the art, the story is too good to let it pass and as the story progressed the art gets better and better :3
Overall I recommend reading it ^-^ it's very well developed, and for me to read a long manga twice it means it's really worth it :3

I still wonder what happened with Jin and Katsuki, that story felt a bit unfinished. They do it yes, and Katsuki starts working as a Page Boy, but does Jin keep working as a host? If he does that's yucky D: Knowing the person you like is doing it with guys for money is just geeehhhhh!!!
Also Haruomi's brother, that was kinda left hanging :( what happens to him, does he get a happy ending? I would have loved to know >_<

I cannot believe I skipped over this manga so many times. I'm not a big fan of 90s art so i kept putting this one off. Man do i regret it. I love this manga, its definitely in my top 5...
From beginning to end my emotions were all of the place, the characters were interesting, the backstory was really interesting, and there's just so much too say. I mean who wouldve expected that Kiichi had such a past, and that Reiji was actually so protective of him, i mean when you look at their current relationship you wouldn't expect it from those two. I mean you can tell they love each other, but the past relationship between them was just really suprising...
and the last volume. Man that volume really got me. I mean, i was so embarrassed to leave my room, my eyes were so red. And one chapter shows a little of Kiichi, and i was like awwww... so, yea read it! Dont put it off because of old art like me, you surely will regret it. Definitely a great story. Oh and im also kinda pissed how she left it off at the end when, Naoya said that to Reiji but whatever. I'm glad she didnt overdo it, but i kinda wish i could see his reaction.
And the side stories were good too!

Absolutely fantastic. Had a bit of everything I like in a yaoi manga and also some of the stuff I don't like but that was easy enough to overlook. The characters were all likeable and the art was great too. I loved the first story between Izumi and Takamiya and the one with Aoe and Naoya.
It manages to stir up the emotions in places and this is balanced with lightheartedness to make it just right.
Also, if anybody is wondering about the tragedy tag it has on some manga reading sites then don't because I absolutely hate tragedy and it was fine.
I was over-eager to comment on this one because I think it deserves to be congratulated and read by all. Definitely recommended.

Different love stories that are all connected and made into a one wonderful read. So much so, that I've read the long manga twice which is a rare occurence on my part.
What I loved most? All the stories were realistic. As were the characters. The characters have debth, something many characters in yaoi manga lack. They're also memorable and stuck with me, a feat not easily reached by other characters I've read about in my life.
The art is not amazing, but it does get better as the story progresses and the level of the art doesn't degrade the manga in any way.
The ending made me cry. Not a sad cry, but a happy cry. One of the best endings I've seen if I do say so myself. And let me point out, that I rarely cry from reading manga but the ending of this one took the cake.
Overall, You're missing out on gold if you skip this one.
Characters: 10/10
Art: 9/10
Plot: 10/10

It's a really good yaoi manga. Interesting plot and great character development. I also didn't mind the art that much, but it eventually got better as the series gone by. Some stories are really sad, but it's worth reading because there's fluff in there as well. The series is s-- //sniffles so good. It made me cry. ; w ;
But every yaoi lover should try this manga out. The author's other works are very good too.

Good. It's not such a drama manga, but I was fond of reading it from the beginning to the end. Characters are good and likeable (I even miss them г_г). The plot is rather natural. I can recommend that manga as an exemplary yaoi manga ^_^
