GREAT...if it's your thing

Here's the thing. If you like the traditional spunky, resisting uke, and the strong, sultry, forceful seme...this is YOUR manga. This series defines those roles and takes it to a beyond perfect level.
But if you're looking for a serious, realistic, angst-ridden drama that flowers into a beautiful and meaningful relationship that comments on the human experience...well, I don't know if this is for you.
Ayano Yamane is brilliant not only in her art (my FAVORITE style...gorgeous), but in her ability to create these endearing characters that we come to care about. Yes, there is a lot of rape. Yes, some of the plot is contrived and unrealistic. But it's a fast-paced, mafia vs. yakuza story with an irresistible uke caught in the middle. If that sounds even a little appealing, you will LOVE this series.
It's a classic.

Yeah, it goes without saying since everyone in the yaoiland must (or should) have known Ayano Yamane and her amazing works. This series so far is the 1st in my list. The art is the first thing that attracted me, it's so smooth, cute but not too cute like some shoujo or shota. The story lines are brilliant and the plots are just...the best.
Takaba - the main uke - is just my fav type of uke. He has well-build, a little muscular but not too much. His personality is very interesting and hard to read. His will is strong and I just loveee his stubbornness. Although he always acts like a man but i think he's nothing more than an arrogant kid.
And Asami - the seme. He must be the top of the top semes in yaoi world. I mean really, who could win over this person? He is like...perfect, from the look to the personality. And the best thing is, he's not the type of guy who is always overprotective his lover. The way he shows his love to Takaba is so cute (and sick sometimes). I just so so so love this man.
I also love lots of other mangas such as Crimson Spell and Nekota Yonezou's works (especially Elektel Delusion and Otona Keikenchi) but i guess there will be no other yaoi manga that can take away the 1st place from Viewfinder in my list.
LOVE AYANO SENSEI!!!!

In my opinion at first, the chapters don't follow a main history, they are very similar to oneshots (or so I think)., Then, when Fei Long is introduced, the main story begins to develop. Maybe the past of Fei Long is too long (it has many chapters) but I find them interesting.
From this point on the story gets more interesting, we start to see more faces of Asami and the events become deeper in an emotional way
This yaoi is not apt for those who can’t reed very HARD yaoi (this yaoi started as a S&M oneshot and then the Yamane-sensei decided to continue it LOL).
One thing that I really love about this manga is the characters: Asami is the type of possessive and powerful seme but unlike in other yaoi he's not the type of seme who gets madly in love with the uke and says that he loves him. Asami, at first, wants Takaba for sex (the first chapters are mostly sex *blush*). Little by little, as the story goes on, we see a development of his feelings but he still doesn’t say "I love you" though, and this is another good thing
Their love is a very real love (at least, that's the way I see it) because Asami is the bad guy A RELLY BAD GUY. He can kill, he shots to another person without guilt, and things like that. Yamane-sensei has created a bad guy that's really bad, a guy that even after meeting the uke (the person he loves, the person for whom he would die ) doesn't transform him in a super good guy that has a bad work, HE CONTINUES BEING BAD!
Takaba is prototypical innocent and super good uke. He has no family, he likes helping others, and he's sooo innocent that's stupid He's the type of uke that the seme HAS to protect. At first he's raped by Asami (and he gets mad!!! WHOOU really, this shocked me LOL in most yaoi the uke is raped, but so what? we fuck another time and everything is ok LOL LOL) but as the time passes (and they fuck another couple of times ) we see that MAYBE he doesn’t hate fucking with him. But still he doesn’t accept him completely. Why? BECAUSE HE KNOWS THAT ASAMI IS A BAD GUY. He knows the things he’s capable of doing, and in a very realistic way, Yamane-sensei has made Takaba faithful to his convictions (in most yaoi the uke would have said something like “I don’t mind the things you do, I don’t mind you being the bad guy, because… because I love you!” LOL I really love both developments but Takaba’s is more refreshing )
But this is not all, surprisingly (for mi LOL) the manga goes on, IT’S NOT THE END (at the beginning of scans of the chapter 30 v.5 there was a not that said “Finally, the emotional last chapter!”, because of this I hope everybody understands that I thought IT WAS the last chapter LOL). They take a short vacation ¬¬ and then go back to Tokyo.
With all this spoilers I will say that this yaoi is marvelous, fantastic, incredible, sexy, sad, funny, and so on. That if you like had yaoi and nice art, nice story and super sexy semes *grin* you must read this.

He knows the things he’s capable of doing, and in a very realistic way, Yamane-sensei has made Takaba faithful to his convictions (in most yaoi the uke would have said something like “I don’t mind the things you do, I don’t mind you being the bad guy, because… because I love you!” LOL I really love both developments but Takaba’s is more refreshing )
Spoiler (highlight to view)
THEN Fei Long, after raping Takaba various times, (and this moments we can see Asami snap, he goes rescue him and things like that) kidnaps him and takes him to China. From this moment the story changes completely and almost everything until the end of the manga occurs in China. Here the manga focuses in Fei-Takaba’s history. Fei Long starts loving Takaba? Or he loves Asami? :D What we now for sure is that Fei Long likes fucking with Takaba LOL and that Takaba, every time that they are at it, thinks of Asami and hopes that’ll rescue him.
AND FINALLY HE DOES!! yaaaay! XDDD Well, of course not everything is that easy so some things get complicated, new character appear, and is not easy for them to see each other again, but at last they do :DDDDD *this moment is sooo, soooo, soooo sweeeeet*
AND FINALLY HE DOES!! yaaaay! XDDD Well, of course not everything is that easy so some things get complicated, new character appear, and is not easy for them to see each other again, but at last they do :DDDDD *this moment is sooo, soooo, soooo sweeeeet*
But this is not all, surprisingly (for mi LOL) the manga goes on, IT’S NOT THE END (at the beginning of scans of the chapter 30 v.5 there was a not that said “Finally, the emotional last chapter!”, because of this I hope everybody understands that I thought IT WAS the last chapter LOL). They take a short vacation ¬¬ and then go back to Tokyo.
With all this spoilers I will say that this yaoi is marvelous, fantastic, incredible, sexy, sad, funny, and so on. That if you like had yaoi and nice art, nice story and super sexy semes *grin* you must read this.

I really do love Finder! It's such a good & nice manga. The Artwork is amazing & the story is just fcking awesome! I reread it all the time, because I can't get enough from this. I don't think I can live without this awesomeness.
I like the sex, i mean.. Look at it!!! It's not just cute, it's smexy, it's hardcore & asdsfhsa.
The age gap makes it a bit more "better", I don't know why, but I love how Asami treats his little Kitty & everything.
And goddammit, Asami is hot like hell. On the one side he's a bad boy, ganster, business man etc. BUT on the other side he's like the cutest fck ever! If you look at him closely, you can see how much he loves Takaba & how much he's worrying about him & like i said before, I like the way he treats Takaba. What I really adore is how manly Takaba is (but he's a little bit bitchy too)..
So what can I say? Just read it ok? READ IT!! it's so great and whatever, just read it. THANKS

When I first started reading this I thought "ugh, the most awful rape scene right off the bat!" and almost stopped right there. But the fantastic art kept me reading and I'm so glad. By the end I'd completely fallen in love with the series and all the characters. I think Akihito has gotten quite a bit of criticism but I don't really agree with it. Sure he's not the most agentive uke ever but I think the whole point of this manga is the emotional development and whether or not Akihito can give in to his feelings. I also liked it how Akihito had aspirations to be acknowledged as a man and make Asami submit. So as an uke I can't call him typical either... I didn't like Asami much to begin with but as the depth of the relationship grew I started to like him a lot better till the end where I really already liked him lots. The extra "temporary paradise" is my favorite of Asami. It's cute really! And I love Asami's vacation hair... x) The side characters weren't bad either and I enjoyed the whole backgroud on Asami and Feilong. The relationship between Feilong and Akihito was interesting as well. I kinda felt bad for Feilong though... Anyway, if you haven't read this, do it NOW! Hah.. And don't stop in the middle or you'll miss out I tell ya! Can't wait for the rest... Should be good?

This manga is really good. It's got a few yaoi clichés. But over all, the manga's very interesting and the plot (even when it feels random) works. If you do not like yaoi where the mafia and rape is involved, don't read this manga! You have been warned!
I like Asami (the seme), he is a mafia boss and you feel it every time he's on screen (very well written character). I'm not a fan of Akihito (the uke), I sort of want him to behave more (outside of the bedroom). And for the love of god, Akihito, stop getting involved (and kidnapped)!
The plot obviously has holes (as do most yaoi that involve/start with rape). Here's a summery of the first 5 encounter between Asami and Akihito:
Don't let encounter nr. 2 scare you away, it's the most hardcore (and random use of fetishes) sex scene you'll find in the whole manga. And (according to me) not the hottest scene in here
The art is wonderful. The sex is hot. It's plot faults are forgivable. The main characters are interesting, as are the side characters (Feilong <3 ). But again, if the mafia (and rape) aren't your cup of tea, you're not going to like this manga.

Spoiler (mouse over to view)
Not in order: hand-job, bondage, urethral penetration, dildo, aphrodisiac, bite gag, orgasm control (via string/rope), punishment, wrist and ankle restraints, dominance, anal item (film roll) insertion, and anal intercourse
... basically a sh*tload of bdsm fetishes in one scene. Third and forth encounter: no real interaction. Fifth encounter: Asami saves Akihito (from his kidnappers) - oh and Akihito "loves" Asami (my guess is the sex was just that hot). Love is not really what you have here, but it's close to what they have with each other. Don't let encounter nr. 2 scare you away, it's the most hardcore (and random use of fetishes) sex scene you'll find in the whole manga. And (according to me) not the hottest scene in here

One of my fav yaoi mangas. The art improves a lot throughout the serie.
Asami is the ultimate seme and Akihito is a very strong uke. It's a cruel manga at times but has a happy ending. I'd totally recommend it!

I really really REALLY enjoy this manga. I think it has to be that even after all the abuse that Asami subjects Takaba to I still end up wanting them to be together. That is EXTREMELY rare for me, usually I can't stand cold, abusive, passive aggressive guys ASAMI IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE EXCEPTION. It might be that even though asami is abusive towards takaba the way the mangaka shows their relationship developing is still so very realistic that it makes you want to root for them to find a happy ever after in whatever way shape or form that may be for them. Besides while Asami is no saint he is definitely not what he seems. There is just is so much more to him than what is seen on the surface it's like we have just seen the tip of the iceberg and besides he is just so darn captivating. It is kinda like a moth is captivated by a bright porch light... Even though the insect acknowledges the carcasses of other insects trapped in the porch light it still is drawn to the captivating light though it will probably be its end. Or maybe the light is so bright that the moth can't acknowledge anythig other than the light. I sometimes feel like takaba is kinda in a similar situation except takaba is not as stupid to not care about asami's faults he just thinks that asami's light is captivatig enough to get close to even if it burns a little. Idk But honestly Takaba isn't completely innocent anyway which is why they work pretty well together on some semi twisted animalistic mental wavelength. Also takaba might be a bit of a masochist. Lol. Ultimately I really love the art (Gosh is it just goregous!) I really love the characters. The only thing I will complain about is there isn't enough updates and sometimes even when there ARE updates the chapters are sooo short. This is an addicting manga with a capital A,which is why I am complaining about not being able to read more of it because of lack of updates, but at the same time having to wait months to read it sometimes seems fitting for this manga... It makes it even better. I don't know what the hell I am talking about any more. I just know that this is such a sexy,erotic,exciting,thrilling,steamy,beautiful, yaoi manga that I just want to rave about and hope that my ravings will get someone else to read this awesome yaoi! Spread the love right? I just L-O-V-E it!

why is this so popular? it's far from the worst yaoi ever, mind, and yamane ayano's art brings the pretty in spades, but "the best", or "cute and funny" -- not by a long shot. the rabid fangirling about it on every manga forum is almost enough to turn me off completely. now then, here's a review from a not-fangirl:
asami should be in jail, and in psychotherapy. yeah, he looks hot, but he's only drawn that way, *wry grin*. he's cold and cruel, and his sexual proclivities tend towards rape, domination and sadism. i don't find seme like him attractive, i find them despicable. fei long -- oi, so pretty, and oi, so messed up. he should be in jail and therapy with asami (and if they were to get it on, i'd be ok with that; the battle would be worth it). takaba is the shining light of the manga, or rather, he was. he started out feisty, taking no shit from anyone, dusting himself off after that initial rape and moving right along. but since then he's become a powerless pawn who gets raped as a matter of course and guess what? comes to like it. *urgh*.
the story line is terribly convoluted -- i just bet yamane-san didn't plot this out from the start -- and consequently i couldn't care less for the yakuza vs triad machinations. the bits about fei long's background, those are interesting, and i like it best when asami and fei long interact. unfortunately 3/4 of the fandom would lynch yamane-san if she actually let them be together in the end, so that won't happen. it's worth a look to see whether you'll get subsumed into the fandom or can resist and pray for takaba to find himself a nice, non-criminal boy with whom to shack up.

I think PansyWansyLinsy's comments are spot-on. If you're unsure about this series, definitely take the time to read her review.
This is a smut-driven yaoi rather than a plot-driven one. You won't be disappointed if you keep this in mind. Also, the smutty scenes are quite explicit, so delicate types be warned.
As for the art, expect a feast for your eyes: all the main characters are total eye candy. I also liked how the uke is manly and sexy! It's a nice change from the cutesy types.
All in all, a pretty good read.
