	Rushed and undeveloped character.
	Rating: 4.0 / 10.0 by mtmt1311 March 8th, 2013, 5:47am
I thought it would be good since many people like it but just cant bring myself to like Masahiro. He has 3 major flaws in his personality: - he used his body to get his goal (something to be frowned upon) - he is not so smart to believe the brother loves him. If its true, why would he let him use his body to get his goal. - The brother is not entirely wrong to say that Masahiro is not faithful when he fell in love with Fukaya after sleeping with him while he is still dating the brother. If the brother is a nice guy, this is cheating. The story is rather rushed to me to sympathize with him, like how he fell in love with the younger brother and the end is way too fast.

	Amusing
	Rating: N/A by perpetual April 29th, 2012, 1:27am
^Like the title says, it's amusing. However it isn't a masterpiece, or entirely trash material. It had some intriguing themes: war, love, treachery, politics--something 'bout westernization, drama, eternal love... However those ideas needed to be further elaborated on. The whole story was just too compressed and squashed down. It just seemed rushed--especially the end. The end just blazed through countless dilemnas, and went all the way from the meiji era to the showa era in a few pages. But the beginning and the last few pages were very... endearing. Spoiler (mouse over to view) At the start, you see Masashiro back at the ruins of the rukumei kan (i think it was called that...) reminiscing. And it all goes back in time to reveal everything that had happened. Yeah, that was some good transitioning. But after that it seemed quite rushed--till the end. That's when Masashiro meets Fukaya and they dance; after enduring all these hardships, as old men. Yup, that's eternal love for you. So yea. Some may like it more than others. I liked it. But wasn't exactly captivated by it or anything. I'd say romanticists would love it, though. ... Last updated on April 29th, 2012, 1:27am

if you like dramatic stories with an uke sleeping with two guys, you'll love this. it has love, betrayal, war, all wrapped up in one. the ending was so unrealistic, they got together so easily after all they had gone through. ... Last updated on March 14th, 2009, 9:57pm

	It's Nitta Youka ppl!
	Rating: 8.0 / 10.0 by rita August 26th, 2007, 11:18am
Its nitta Youka's work so of course its going to be good! Its short but mainly focuses on the first part of the whole drama and near the end it doesn't really go into it much although she could have extended it by a couple more volumes, but I guess it has more effect this way. On the whole it was a good read, for me it was good, dramatic oneshot (1 vol is nothing ppl!) and I would highly recommend it to anybody who enjoys drama.
