This manga is quite good, especially for a Nakamura Shungiku one. I usually don't rate her mangas very highly because yes, they are indeed dreamy, but that's because she always uses the technique to make them as cliché as it gets and never a bit original. Very same reason Junjou Romantica is the top anime at the moment, it's all a big compilation of things that people like in yaoi.
I'm only talking about the two first stories here, but they were overrated. Generally, the idea of the "dolls" it's pretty new in the way she puts it, growing with affection and everything. I especially liked how she didn't focus it the story in the relationships themselves as male x male ones, but in the way the HCs and the masters were connected, regardlessly.
The first story was very cute and touching. I really loved how she developed it and how it ended. BUT it lacks some explanations. For instance: what is Hazuki's past? Why did his previous owners throw him away? How did Kuroda fix him after all? What the heck is the moon droplet? Oh, and I'm really fond of Hazuki being so tall, since it comes from receiving Kotarou's love~!
The second one is pretty good. Seya's amazing, I can't even begin to describe him. Even being a short story, he had such a captivating personality! There's much more deepness to him than only the kindness he shows towards Yuzu. The age gap in the beginning did bother me a little, but in the end, where they used the always immortal Nakamura-sensei's catching phrase, it was beautiful and emotional. It's really pure and lovely! Pretty predictable why he didn't grow, but even though I knew it since the beginning, I didn't care, and I think that means the plot is good enough to get my attention.
The first two left me with this doubt, though: did all of the couples actually become lovers or remained as they were before? I know it's shounen-ai, but it's sooo light =/
The third one is an exception to everything I've written, because it's indeed as amazing as everybody else said, if not more.
It's beautiful, touching, heart-wrenching. What makes it special is, not only the plot development and the story itself, but the way Tsukishima and Kuroda's relationship develops. But most importantly, the ending. You know, every time a characters dies, everybody gets so pissed off, but that's what makes it unique. It's so painfully sad that I almost regretted reading it, but because of that, it's a story that I will never forget.
I love it.

I seriously think that this manga is waay better than the overrated Junjou series...this is not a kind of comedy and light-hearted story, but it's really beautiful and touches emotionals..I really loved the 3rd story about the creator of Hybrid Child and how he came to create those dolls...it's really heart-wrenching and Nakamura-sensei did an amazing job in dwelling into human's feelings through every scene and the choice of wordings..it's just beautiful..I wish sensei would create more stories like this..excellent!
That was really touching! I usually don't weep while reading manga but I read this while listening to the dramaCD and the wonderful voice-acting and the heartbreakingly beautiful soundtracks together with the story totally broke me. It was wonderful. It was unique. My God, I can't even express how much I loved the book.
Read this, that's the only thing I can say.

I normally don't get emotionally, but this one really touched my heart and I end up crying over the 3rd chapter. The stories are really touching and tells us how Hybrid Child came to be.
Dang. I don't even like yaoi and shounen ai but the artwork and the story is just... awesome!!! The story is just great. Everything was just perfect! Except... why did it have to end like that!? Gah, I hate sad endings!!!
The third story made me cry, what the hell.... why doesn't this mangaka write more like this?? I have no idea why but for me junjou is good, but kinda leaves me cold.
I'm surprised. Other than Complex (god how can you not cry...that ending...) this is probably the only other bl that has made me cry. Though the love doll thing is actually used a lot, something about this story is really unique, maybe it's the characters, I don't know.

I just loved the characters in this manga! This is one of the few manga that has managed to move me to tears. Each and every one of Nakamura's works have great plot and characters. The mangaka has an amazing ability of expressing each characters' emotions realistically. A skill that many mangaka, unfortunately, lack. 3rd story was definitely the best for me!
God, this one hurt me. Hormonal? Don't read this unless you *want* people to see you weeping like your pet's just died. I have a huuuge weakness for regret-themed BL, and this is like a total sucker-punch. Nakamura Shungiku's artwork is still as great as always, with wonderful expressions and liveliness. (Steer clear if you're looking to gaze at bishounen, though - it's an ongoing experience rather than a series of pin-ups.)
The only weakness, if you can call it that, is the first chapter, which I imagine anyone with even a passing interest in BL has read before in one form or another. It's very sweet, however, and stands up much better once the rest of the volume has been read.

Spoiler (highlight to view)
i loved this story the first story was so sweet, but my favorite is the story of Kuroda; i warn you however that if your a softie like me, you'll be crying at the end of the book. its a great story about the regrets that you have when you dont open your heart, and say what you want to say to your loved one, when they are still around. (spoiler) the most heart wrenching scene is when the doll Kuroda creates gives Kuroda a flower the same way that Tsukishima did when he was alive and to see Kuroda break down like that, it was really hard to see; he obviously still loved Tsukishima even though it had been so long since he died.

Everyone who is a fan of sensei always kept recommending this one but it took me a while to get to it, now i see why.....it's such a nice and somewhat refreshing story that really touches your heart with each chapter. Although i already know, i really wish there was a sequel to it.
