This phrase made me freeze: "I understand love. I understand loneliness. Maybe it's not something I can really say, but...If you live like that. When the time comes. When you find someone you're really in love with...Doesn't it make you feel empty?". I have always thought that only Miyamoto Kano can create such fine yet depressing love scenes, but now I know that Shoowa can too, and I absolutely love this!

it's a very deep psychological story. what kind of relationship have Jin and Mari? do they love each other or they are just friends? in this manga we face such rare, beautiful but tragic in adult ages thing like platonic love. They definitely love each other, their relationship are too disinterested and unselfish for friendship. but drama is that there is absolutely no sexual tension between them. "If you are not lovers so what are you doing in BL manga?" They are lovers but not in a physical way. That's why Jin will never be satisfied and will never stop fooling around making himself and his lovers unhappy. that's why Mari will never close in with anybody.

So far.. its really good, aside for the fact i can barley tell them apart, (all the characters) this manga is really good. Its not a fluffy romance and the author doesn't sugar coat the killing. I sometimes cant recognize whats happening because to myself the characters look to similar. But in each chapter alot happens, but at the same time, not a lot happens. Its hard to describe and i wouldnt title this realistic... since i doubt something like this could happen.. maybe it does, but it is certanly not something that happens everyday.
