Description
Painful, heartbreaking memories suddenly surface for Haru when he agrees to fill in as teacher for the high school archery club. In his youth, Haru was a brilliant archer who competed for the national championship. But uncontrollable urges for a male rival forced him to give up on his archery dream and run away from his true feelings. Now that he's back in the bow-and-arrow game, Haru becomes drawn to the brother of his long-lost love--and he must find out if desire has taken on a new, seductive aim...

| Fall in Love and Drown in Love: Perspectives Overlap by MightyMaeve on February 28th, 2009, 3:43pm |
|
The underlying theme is emphasized, or illustrated, through the use of archery. (Stunning illustrations of the men in their hakamas!) Haru's thought was: "Archery mirrors one's heart." Both stories speak to the philosophy of love in practical application. How do you know if you are in love? What is love? What does it mean to be in love and how will this reflect in your treatment of the one you love? Should you be selfless and perhaps in pain? Or should you be selfish and manipulative and happy? Can you deal with any guilt induced by this?
Although they are separate mangas, they are uniquely interwoven. The chronological order is overlapping, instead of the usually forward or backward momentum that other mangaka's use to interweave a 'universe' of characters. I liked it; it helped to expand and give depth to intense moments and develop a strong connection to the characters and their lives by seeing two perspectives simultaneously.
You Will Fall in Love has the edge with more twists, surprises and depth with Haru and Tsukasa's emotional evolution and development. You Will Drown in Love is a close step behind though, with a consistent, believable and insightful personality study of Reiichirou.
Her stories always have a 'tender' or 'sweet' element alongside the angst. A very lovely and memorable balance of emotion presented in clever wordings of thought and emotional illustration of moments. Her art is pretty, balanced and lushly palpable (the lips!) She never pushes into 'explicit' with the intimate scenes, but her kiss scenes make up for that lack in my mind!

I'm spoiled for this one after reading Rin. Truth is, Rin had a similar storyline, and the second volume even had a love triangle, but the story was 10x better. (So was the love triangle, since *all* of the characters were written to be 3 dimensional.) I hate wimpy ukes, and couldn't see what Haru saw in the possessive, childish Tsukasa. And Reiichirou was completely 2-dimensional, written only as a bad guy for Tsukasa to play off of. Perhaps the sequel with him fleshes out his character more, but I can only go on what's contained in this book. Oh, and the art in this one, too, is typical yaoi art, with a stereotypically feminine uke. If you want a story that deals beautifully, not just with archery and love, but life in general, Rin is so much better. The art in Rin is also more simple, but fits with the reflective, almost meditative quality of the story.

I tried reading this series on three separate occasions but just could not get past the first two chapters because I found this story to be so dull and cliched. (What finally got me to finish it was falling in love with its fantastic sequel.)
I'm a big fan of this mangaka's works namely because they consistently feature well-thought out characters and engaging plots. This story, however, does not live up to those strengths. Instead, what we get are cookie-cutter character types including a predictably forceful seme fond of making grand claims like "I will prove that [you can love]! I will clear away all your doubts!" and pinning down his uke to make a point. He's a teenager, but he's no different from so many other forceful semes that we've seen before. The uke is also a rather stupid and pathetic creature (no different, unfortunately, from so many other ukes) who gave up archery, moved away from home, and endured celibacy for four years because *gasp* he fell in love with a man. With such a complex, you'd think it would be hard for these two to end up together right...? Wrong. A couple of trite speeches (and a few forced kisses) from the seme and the uke is not only changing his tune about the evils of gay love, but also thinks he's fallen for the seme. Sure, things always move a bit too quickly in yaoi, but having the seme declare his true love forever at the very beginning before I'd grown to know or care about either character as the reader was a bit too much for me. Yes, the seme claims to have a long-standing love for the uke, but it's hard to root for these two when I don't even know who they are at that point. Given this type of start, after the first chapter, any fangirl/fanboy can easily predict what complications will arise in the plot and how they will be handled.
Had this been done by any other mangaka, I might have rated it higher. However, this mangaka can certainly do better than a by-the-numbers yaoi like this. (Check out the sequel to see what I mean: really fascinating characterization of Reiichirou and a very careful build-up of his relationship with Jinnai. Too bad none of that was here.)

I'd say if you want a real good romance filled with a tinge of angst and great storyline, read this...I thought it was definitely worth the time.

The art is beautiful & gentle! I grew attached to the characters & fell in love with them! & I loved how the plot centred around archery which helped bring in more symbolism & meaning to the relationships. It's a manga that you feel like re-reading & at the end; you yearn for more

This one is a keeper folks. If you enjoy love triangles as much as I do, you will certainly love this. It isn't full of smut but that storyline and the flow of it make up for that and quite frankly, I wouldn't have cared if it didn't have smut.

| Amazing @_@... by otakubaybay on March 13th, 2007, 5:45pm |

I haven't read a series this good in a while! I was jumping out of my seat with excitement! I absolutely love this series! I know for sure now that Hinako Takanaga is one of my favorite mangaka. The artwork, and just the whole story and plot was amazing! I am pretty critical about what I read, but I knew for sure after reading this that it deserved a 10. This is actually the first series I've bothered to read, rate, and review; It was just that good! Definitely highly reccomended!

I love the plot, the anger from the 4th chapter was great. The relationship between the characters are well-constructed and that adds a lot of fun to the story =D
