Hearbreaking yet so beautiful

I honestly love Lovers and Souls. The story of Tooru and Matsuoka is so sad it's heartbreaking and I cried so much while reading it but still at the same time it's just so beautiful. I prefer series with happy ending but Lovers and Souls is perfect as it is like this.
The words neither could never say and feelings they could never show create a very sad and touching story which have that realistic touch in them that I love in Miyamoto Kano-sensei's works.
Totally in love with this one and I warmly recommend it!

I think Lovers and Souls is one of my all time favorites shonen ai manga. Miyamoto Kano's characters and her stories are so realistic. It's been over a year since I first read Lovers and Souls and I still feel sad every time I read or think about it. It's amazing how one grows to like Matsuoka-senpai, even though he only appears in one chapter! I began reading Rules before I found Lovers and Souls, but I do prefer Lovers and Souls... it's so sad there isn't a happy ending, but then again it wouldn't be anything special, I guess. I even read this once with a male friend who is straight and usually not into shonen ai... and he was deeply moved by it and said that while he read the ending he forgot everything else around him.

Ahhh I just love her works. They're realistic and not all about sex like other yaoi. I can't think of anything more to say other than what has already been said, but just just read it.

Am sort of addicted to this series which i wanted to put off until everything or atleast in a sequence was finished. Needless to say i started reading and now i cannot stop, the hardest part is trying to guess who will end up with whom and their names...particularly when sometimes they look alike.
SO GOOOD

I wasn't so sure when the manga started.. i thought it was going to be just another pretty boy. I was Wrong!.. It's not just about sex, the story keeps you interesting and the relationship is sweet. I was crying in the end, a definite must read.

Modern point of view and sober writing are Miamoto’s trademark. Even readers that are not into yaoi, but don’t mind reading about homosexual relationships might like her work, definitely not mainstream yaoi
