High-school student Nanamura Hikaru has little memory of his deceased father, a famous playboy actor, until his father's suave attorney, Shimogura, contacts him with the promise of a sizable inheritance.

If you're looking for a great story with mild BL then this is for you. The story is kinda deep but it's not that angsty and there's also humor on this manga. I love the main character he is so honest and cute. He is so honest that he told his GF that a man kiss him and have sex with LOL. Im so mad that it was not fully translated in ENGLISh and left me in a cliff hanger and it was getting good =( . I really recommend this but if you're looking for HOT sex then this manga is not for you. STORY>SEX!! I also hope there is a twist and Hikaru won't end up with the lawyer. It's been always been that the two guys you see in the beginning end up together. This is a love quad btw including his GF.

Round about loop of cheating/adultery

This is a bit of a lengthy manga with a fair amount of monologues. It took me about half a day to read through it, skimming through boring parts. I really liked the pretense and the starting plot of the story which is why I hoped it would had been something worthwhile. Unfortunately, I was greatly disappointed. There was the round about story focusing on exposing the dirt and philandering ways of a popular celebrity. The celebrity's son, is unfortunately, the same as his father - a bastard bisexual who bounces from one lover to another - one who was easily swayed by pleasure and didn't give a rats about others' feelings (like his girlfriend). Weirdly though, he acts high and mighty as if he was clean and upright, when he was faced with his partner's infidelity. What's worse is the continuing inconsistency of the characters and their personalities. For example...
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
The mother of the main character (MC), acted like a really money hungry woman at the start. She seemed like she didn't really care about his family and son. The MC though, looks up to his mother for bringing him up. The MC was also noted to have been brought up by a good person according to others. At the end, she seemed like a dignified person, even if she was portrayed to have been selling herself at the start.
The MC was also out of sync with himself or ideal morality, taking kisses from men like it wasn't a big deal, and talking to his girlfriend in a straight face saying he had sex with a man. Also, like on chapter 22, his girlfriend notes that they weren't having sex anymore showing how experienced the MC is in the act. In some scenes though, the MC acts like a virgin and is so against about the idea of it (he shows disgust on the adultery of his male love interest - while he was doing the very same thing).
Even the timing of how things jive is quite poor in this manga. Its like they are living in a very small world. For example in chapter 23, the MC said he wouldn't be gone long, but instead, even had the time to have sex without a care for his promises. They just ran about and seem to be finding people right on time.
When the MC hears that his other love interest was going abroad, he rushes to his side like he's an innocent partner and even makes out again with him at the end.
The MC also barely even went to class in the whole series. His relationship with the girlfriend never even got sorted out. She was portrayed as an idiot who only loves sex.
This also shows how low the main character's values were, even though he was described as a good son and good friend by everyone.

If it wasn't for how poorly the characters were made, I would have probably rated it higher. The ending was also disappointing. It was rushed without adequate support from the plot. The 28 chapters of the manga to me, seemed unnecessary long.
The art was good, even though there weren't any hardcore scenes. Overall, if you feel like you have time to spare, and want to read a failed attempt of a mystery manga, with reversible BL roles and a lot of adultery, then feel free to read it.

I think the boys are pretty hot. Takaguchi's art style is very distinctive and very attractive, ever since I laid my eyes on Sakende Yaruze's Koizumi Tenryuu *laugh*.
This series start off very lighthearted, a boy on his teenage bothered by his mother nagging behavior suddenly find himself an inheritance of his never-mentioned-recently-dead father. And on top of it there are lots of mistery-half-brothers to share with.
But it goes heavy with emotion ever since the main character involved in adult romance he can't fully comprehend.
I personally like this kind of story, too bad the conclusion is not very satisfying so I have to give a 8/10.

This has been bugging my mind. What with the way the updates are going... It has taken so long. Can't someone give a spoiler on who Hikaru will end up with? I'm guessing it's the lawyer but then by the way the story progresses I'm thinking the issue with who'll end up with who will be a minor issue and might end up not resolved.

The art is beautifully emotional, the text is building a dynamic story! I just couldn't stop until the end ... and was disappointed with the last chapters.
The artificial many years gap - for growing up of the main character? ...who was developed enough to start with and through the dynamic story. It doesn't match the whole manga written about the boys life. Was really expecting to enjoy a Happy Sunny "Wedding" right after the final culmination & disclosure! Kind of depressing...

Now where are the "beautiful drawings" the description here mentions? Not seen anything of it. Ok the cover is pretty but the inside is just ordinary ;_; I feel fooled.

The story is kinda weird.
The boy, who just met the inheritance caretaker of his deceased father, wants to sleep in that man's arms after the 3rd meeting - wtf oO And a school mate (male) tends to kiss him and that boy doesn't do anything. He lets everything happen to him. He has a girlfriend too. And he kinda blurts everything out to her right away. Total weirdo ~.~ I don't get him.

Well you can say this is not your generic BL story so far XD

Spoiler (highlight to view)
So I guess for that it may be worth to bother with this. I only read till chapter 6 since there isn't more released yet but I guess I'll follow this story to see what it will turn into.
From the basic story, that the boy has to meet his (yet) unknown half-siblings it may become an interesting journey about the life of his half-brothers, his father and himself too. He seems to react very emotional to that.
Not really much BL focused yet (let alone yaoi) but check it out yourself. Make it through he first three chapters.

P.S.: The TL of Aarin is weird (too) -.-
