Ogawa Chise sensei's works are AMAZING! if you're familiar With Harada Sensei, you'd probably like her works too. Do note, not every BL story is perfect. Most of Ogawa sensei's works have dark and messed up elements in it but she does have wholesome works too. If you are a fan of BL with Dark elements, you might like this one. The characters are not perfect. Unlike other BLs, Ogawa sensei's works are unique. Indeed it is messed up but i can't stop reading it!

Okay.... I know this seems popular, but this was definitely not for me. There is a limit to my suspension of disbelief and this manga hit it. The story is set in a school where the students roles are divided in a pyramid of power, through the finding of a card (like gaming cards, from a deck). Azusa used to be the King, but when the order changed again he didn’t manage to get the King card once more, ending up in a uncomfortable situation. Also people used to hate him so they are set to revenge. And. Then I stopped because I couldn’t go one. I just couldn’t buy that a school could do this... like... no.

The manga is an excuse for non consensual scenes, which are not even treated seriously.

I love this author. She creates these amazing, dark, and twisted stories that make me want more. I think the plot in this story is unique. I have never seen it before. There are psychological elements here, such as mind games. The students are all trying to survive by playing these messed up games.

The author did her job very well.

I was intrigued by this manga at first but as I continued to read it, it just seems that whole school is full of messed up crazy people. As someone mentioned before in the comments, why does everybody has to be a yandere?? I'm at the latest chapter and guess what you get later on, more yanderes! I do have a taste for fictional rape but the main couple Karino and Azusa is just downright abusive and everyone in here are trying to rape each other like wth? Does that mean the girls are being raped too? All the couples stories are so dark, except for Atsumu X Kuze.

I guess if you're into stories with dark plots, you will enjoy this. I don't mind mangas to be dark at times but I personally prefer my yaoi to have some cute romance so this was not for me. The art is good though

I clicked on the first chapter expecting some senseless yaoi smut I could indulge in for a little bit, but I couldn't stop reading and ended up blowing through 3 volumes worth in a day. The story and characters here are so messed up that I couldn't stop wanting to read more. It's like staring at a car wreck. No one in this mnaga is mentally well-adjusted or have normal relationships with one another---but that's part of the fun, no? This manga is a guilty pleasure for me. I don't read it for the feels or to be moved, I read it to indulge in some warped, kinky psychological games between a bunch of pretty boys. It's a lot of fun if you're into that.

I love this with all my heart so much it hurts.
when I found it I was literally jumping around cause I love ogawa sensei works, her way to made a story is so fantastic and also dark so it's difficult to not get caught by it and the art style is so beautiful. I love how she creates the characters.

okay let's talk a about this masterpiece.
what can I say... I freaking love karino and azusa-kun relationship, but this bastard (karino) I don't know when he's going to confess his love to Azusa-kun. Get ready dude, cause the new teacher is coming and he wants to have Azusa so badly.
I'm expecting something really really good for those three.

Everybody is morally bankrupt within this god damn screwed up manga it's screwed up I hate this. Like, I'm sorry Am I suppose to ship these couples? I just, I'm over it. I'm going to go read a manga where everybody is no evil and psycho.

First I want to say that plot is not the strongest point of this manga. Some suspension of belief had to be had when reading this, or you'll spent the whole time, saying what? why did that happen? that made no sense what so ever. Realistic, it is not.

That being said, it is much more of a character driven story. specifically about messed up people in a place where their crazy is encouraged and some are even pushed into.There is no normal people here. Even, the most 'normal' character, Atsumu, have tendency to be controlling and obsessive.

While, it is still had some of the cliche' storyline about rapey seme (how weird is it that rape had become so common in yaoi that it had become a cliche'), that plot is flipped on its head by giving it to a seme who do it not because he is in love but because he is sadistic bastard and is bored and an uke with a wall so high up, the only way he can start to feel for someone is when that person sadistically humiliates and pick apart the uke's own control.

will either karino or azusa ended up confess their real feelings OR was there none in the first place? to be honest i'm not interested in karino big bro story at all (sorry idk his name)
OR will there be a HUGE plot twist coming soon? i want this author to suprise me but also exceed my hopes towards karino and azusa. i want karino to bully azusa more and more and more and more AHAHAHA

To be completely honest, I went into this thinking that I'd hate it. Turns out that this series is actually pretty good. The characters are even likeable, too (despite their HEAVY flaws). Should have known that this woul b okay since it's an Ogawa Chise work. This manga artist has not published a single story that I have disliked up to this point.

When reading this manga, there are a few things to bear in mind:

1) None of the characters in this manga are normal. They all have something twisted about them (no matter how nice or smart they are), therefore all of their intended partners are equally as messed up. Each character provides their respective partners with something they are lacking. No matter how twisted those "somethings" are, it is what it is, and it works well here.

2) You can not go into this expecting "realism" at all. Read the summary. A school caste system? Yeah...I recommend you lower your expectations of realism in this series ASAP.

3) This is not for those who are looking for lovey-dovey hook-ups. These encounters are cruel, twisted and gritty. S&M themes ensue regularly. There was even an instance in which That was the only instance where something like that happened, but it further demonstrated the perversion of this series, so read with caution.

Azusa is quite an interesting, solid-minded fellow. Despite having some obvious hick-ups and strokes of bad luck, he is still fighting tooth and nail to not lose himself to the pressure, always holding his head high. He may not always feel good, but he never lets it show--even in the face of danger. Karino, his "partner," is an ass; an entertaining one, but an ass regardless. But if I'm being totally honest here, so is Azusa, so I guess the coupling makes sense. They're both jaded and stubborn. They suite each other.

Atsumu is an all-around "good guy," and I did like him very much. What I also like is the fact that he reigned himself in when he realized that his lust was starting to change him. He also means it when he tries to help others, so hats off to him. His love interest...you know, on the surface, he comes off as easy-going, but I just remember thinking "his smile does not meet his eyes" as I was reading. That dude just comes of as psychotic. *shivers* Hang in there Atsumu. They do make for a rather interesting (albeit it scary) couple.

I'll be the first to admit that I laughed at the little dude with the yandere friend. Trust me when I say I am not losing sleep over this character--especially given his bully/sniveling attitude. Also, when

All in all, this series is not bad. It's actually quite amusing.
