I was ready to give Itou-san a lower rating before I read this. Now, it's a masterpiece *crying* This series is seriously good, even more so because it was the mangaka's first BL (or so I heard). Sensei is amazing!

the prequel is really good, so I had to read this one too.
I like the filling in of some of Itou's backstory, but I also think that it was a bit too weird.

him being a clone or whatever weird experiment thing they were saying was just too much for me, and it broke the suspension of disbelief. I also didn't care for the abuse backstory with the "boss" it seemed unnecessary for his character.

It was nice to see more of his backstory with Kyousuke though, and to get a more clear ending for their story.

This story is the complement of Itou-san. It served as filling the missing points in main series, such as


If you like itou-san then make sure you read this one too!

There's not a single thing in this volume that I don't like; from the first 3 chapters detailing the life of "I" leading to his fateful encounter with Kyousuke, to the proper conclusion to their story in the 3 that followed, everything is so well done and I just can't help feeling happy reading about them, you know! The narrative in the backstory is quite excellent if I do say so myself - it sucks you right into that world and makes you hold your breath in suspense even if you don't realise it. That's some good writing right there.
