I love this manga. It's not a smut fest, but you can immediately sense a different quality about it when you start reading. There are genuine relationships and concerns about relationships and people actually TALK about these things. Yes, there are way too many characters in these five volumes, because they came from a novel series and they really deserved more time. Some couples definitely got short-shifted.

But I love what we actually did get, and I loved Sublime's translations of not only the manga but the short stories at the end. I finally got a taste of what the novels are like after all these years of my friend telling me summaries and how great they are.

I've read a lot of yaoi. There's most of it, then there's the stuff that rises above it. This isn't the best, but it's definitely above the rest of the pack, and the fact that it can make me care about characters I see only for a few pages is a tribute to both author and artist. 8/10

Standard story, standard semes and ukes, nice art, good smut.
Nothing out of the ordinary but it's nice to read light stuff now and then.
Expect nothing particularly original or captivating and read when you're in need of bishies in suit... ^^

Just your run-of-the-mill yaoi. Nothing special that piqued my interest, maybe because there wasn't much in the way of ecchi scenes, I don't know. It was disappointing because I was expecting more due to the nice art and variety of characters. I kept thinking, "Come on, already!" It was dragging on and on.

I'm not really sure where the high ratings for this one come from. It wasn't bad, but I found it completely unremarkable. It's long, so I guess you get vaguely attached to the characters, but the development is not really there for the most part. It covers a lot of people and it was a bit much for me keep track of(not that I couldn't keep track, more that I had to stop and think "who is this again?" over and over). Some of the couples had potential to be interesting, but none had enough coverage to be completely fleshed out.

I love longer series, but this one was more like a bunch of average, one volume stories kind of melded together. I didn't hate it, but at the end of it all I was left feeling like I gained nothing from reading it.

Gosh indeed sensei's art is fabulous and you can appreciate it better in this one out of all her work...perhaps because of the many characters or just how they interact but i was mesmerized by their sensuality, body and appearance. The characters personalities are quite diverse and it gives the story the flow needed to tie over each couple. I really cannot get enough of it and hope the volumes do not take too long to come out so that i can read it in english.
