The first and second story were alright, but nothing great. The third story was the only one with substance in my book and the last one was just plain twisted.

Most of the stories came across really flat and the situations were often outrageous. Characters would act to such extremes for no real reason.

Dreamy Pavilion is just a hypocritical romance in which
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
people die for... well no reason really. Let's see how well the group of them last after killing someone of supposedly high status. Not to mention if you step back from the story just a little you'll realize how 1 dimensional the characters are.


Harem for Two...... if it was depicted as some idiot boy's fantasy from this generation... like a delusion of Shunpei's from Mousou Elektel (a story in a completely different league than this one if anyone's interested), I would believe it. As it stands, this is a really pathetic attempt at some fantasy romance story.

Resigned Decision had at least one thing going for it and that was the attempt on the mangaka's part to depict deeper characterization based on the fact that both main characters were haunted by their fathers' careers and expectations for them. Only, it kind of fell flat with the attempts at humour and pretty much the rest of the personalities of the characters.

Pavilion of Destruction is the only one I thought was even a little decent and it's because of the sequel to it. Knowing the sequel, I wasn't expecting the main character to be lovable, and sure enough, he wasn't. But I thought his twisted personality, as well as the twisted world in which he grew up actually fit the sequel well.

A Good Compilation

Dreamy Pavilion - The artwork was lovely in this one-shot, but I just felt like it was... missing something. It had action and humor and smut, of course... but it just lacked a certain emotional connection.

Harem for Two - I think this story suffered from being too short! It felt rushed and not very... complete. I'm not one to expect a full volume's worth of story in a one-shot, but this one felt clipped even by my standards. I just didn't really have time to get connected to any characters or the romance itself.

Resigned Decision - This 2 chapter story is brilliant. There isn't much smut (which fits it), but there is lots of humor and charming characters. As much as I love Mizukami's dark smutty yaoi, I think this light-hearted romp is actually one of my favorites of her works.

Pavilion of Destruction - I hate when there's random one-shot prequel/sequels thrown into random compilations of other stories. I feel like it ruins the sequence of events. Luckily, I read this after reading "Legend of Kinpeibai - Kiss of Fire". I think it makes the most sense that way. Still, this is a very dark story. There's no happy ending here - and that works for the story. However, I think it comes as a major downer after the good-hearted fun of "Resigned Decision". The order of these stories should have really been changed. Despite all of that, this one-shot is a good one when taken on its own merits. It also explains quite a bit about the character of Saimon from "Legend of Kinpeibai".

I'm a great fan of Mizukami-sensei works and this one is ver special. There is a lot of action, a beautiful historic story and other great stories. It worths the reading.

Collection of oneshots. I really liked the 3rd story whichs plays in the present time and the 1st story wasnt bad too. The rest is well... maybe not what everybody likes. I am really not sure how to rate it. The 3rd story would be a 10 but the last story would be maybe a 2...
