Unexpectedly Good

I've read some of Kano's other work and haven't been overly impressed. This tale gets an entirely different opinion from me. I was drawn into the story, and quite unconsciously, by chapter two or three. It is certainly a memorable work that I won't forget anytime soon; mainly because of the characters' emotions that are portrayed so well that it's simple to synchronize with them.
The only... Let's call it a quirk... is Eitarou's questionable ending.
If you don't mind being drawn into a story due to the emotions displayed, rather than the plot, then give this story your time.

Total Eitarou Bias Right Here Right Now

This was definitely a good pick me-up ESPECIALLY after attempting to read Tetsu x Rika. Bad, bad, bad mistake. Now this was what I was looking for: a bit of plot, a bit of mystery, and dash of psychological things going on in the backdrop. On top of that, we also get to see really interesting characters that fill this series with life. Looking for that moment of mind blown-osity, and I found it all in this one. Dude, this could have been considered boys love almost. Barely has any "mature" scenes, and even when it does, they're not really showing much, so it's ALLLL good if you're not really in the mood for anything hardcore or if you're new to yaoi.

Oh. My. God! I've already known for a long time that Miyamoto-sensei is a genius - I though that her Rules series is beyond compare. Well, I was wrong: Nemureru Tsuki is freaking AWESOME (yes, only capitals!) in a whole new level!

The characters are intriguing, the mistery is fantastic, the romantic development is slow and heart-warming. I'm usually not the one for multiply love interests, but here I found myself genuinely keeping my fingers crossed for Ren AND Eitarou as well. I'm quite satisfied with the ending, too. But still... boy, do I hope that someday Miyamoto-sensei will write a sequel to the story to properly finish Eitarou's thread!

Liquid Passion did a really professional job, and Miyamoto Kano has all my praise. I can honestly say that Nemureru Tsuki is a must read for all Bl fans.

PS: I'd also take this chance and recommend Sugiru Juunana no Haru by Ono Fuyumi and Yamamoto Kotetsuko to those who liked this manga. It's quite similar in setting and story, just leave out the BL from it - though you can easily imagine that it's there. Another great read. ;-)

Best Manga Ever

This is probably the best manga i'm reading right now the story is gripping you so want to find out what going to have next. i love the character interaction the romance is good story is good art is nice there's angst but it's not overly angsty i'd recommend this for anyone who likes yaoi with a good story and an interesting plot and good character development. something you don't find in a lot of yaoi manga's.so far i'v read up to vol 2 ch 3 which kind of ends in a cliffhanger so i'm seriously waiting for the next chapter to see how things go for akihiko,ren and eitorou.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIIIIIIIIIIFE?

OH MY FREAKING GOD, such a brilliant manga! WHERE HAS IT BEEN ALL MY LIFE, LOL. This is THE yaoi manga of the year for me, no questions asked - just - oh my gosh, the plot, it's so interesting and gripping and unique... The yaoi isn't even the point, it's just an awesomely told ghost story wrapped in a time-travel story wrapped in a mystery that is half-architecture, half-occult...

Akihiko, the mild-mannered if rather geeky protagonist, embarks on a curse-breaking journey that spans generations of his bishielicious family. There are ghosts! There are fox deities! THERE ARE MAD TIME-TRAVEL SKILLZ! It sounds cliched, but for some reason it isn't - I don't know, it's just how the plot is executed that's unique, in a very unconventionally light, crisp way... Despite the fact that there is so much potential horror and tragedy lurking around the edges, the storytelling is still somehow very clear and light and not depressing at all - it's spooky, sometimes (well, it IS a ghost story!), but it's not heavy or morbid. Instead, it's very approachable and realistic and even the internal monologues are refreshingly snappy - actually, that's what makes all the creepy supernatural stuff believable, because the people in the manga react to it in such an authentic, human way. Lots of motivation to suspend disbelief, you know? So much so that even someone like me, who doesn't normally like ghost stories, found myself swept along easily and without any resistance at all.

Part of the reason for that ease is the "casting" of this manga. The characters are fantastic and full of life; they're sardonic and real, and even the guy with the curse on his head, while being reasonably worried about it, isn't uber-angsty or melodramatic about it; in fact, he even retains a kind of spazzy sense of humor that I really love. AND THE BISHIE FROM THE PAST IS SO HOT OMG, I CAN'T WAIT TILL SOME KIND OF ROMANCE DEVELOPS BETWEEN HIM AND AKIHIKO! It already seems to be doing so... Ren is so cute in his charmingly creepy, randomly lustful emo-ness, but - OH, HIS ANCESTOR IS SO DAMN HAWTTTTT. Choose the ancestor, Akihiko! ANCESTOR-SAAAAAN.... <3

/spazz

Lol, I'll come back and leave a more coherent review once I've seen how this manga ends. Or maybe a less coherent review, if the ending is even more amazing than the manga has been thus far! And so far, it's been pure, unadulterated entertainment. It's just SO FREAKING RARE to find a mystery manga of this quality, not just in yaoi but in any demographic...

Fingers crossed!

Stay alive, Akihiko! Stay alive, Ren-kun! Bless you both!

Unexpectedly enthralling

This manga is not your standard yaoi fare. Currently I've only read the first 3 chapters, but there is only a kiss.
The art is not my personal preference, I prefer sharp clean lines like Eiki Eki or Honjou Rei. However, the story is very well written and I'd buy the text version of this story like a shot.
The basic story is a mystery, with bits of fantasy, about how the young men of a family became cursed with an early death. Many have spiritual powers including time travel, which will eventually be the answer to absolving the curse. The romance occurs in the connections these distant relatives from varied times forge.
Very, very enjoyable.
