Sometimes I don't mind stories with unlikeable characters, or stories which are just cheeky and sexy without much meaning. These stories were like that, but they just didn't work for me. They weren't hot enough to me to get by on that alone. I strongly disliked Kaiya so the first and last stories were just annoying to me. Kou seems like he would have some spirit, but then he ends up just letting himself be walked all over and toyed with, with little benefit to himself.

The second story was just ok. Nothing really special for me. Yuujin is boring and although his lover is hot, the story feels thrown together and kind of dumb. The third story was pretty creepy and borderline shota for my tastes. The uke here is seemingly the same age as kou, but comes off creepier. It just wasn't for me.

So, all in all it was just kind of lacking something. More tension maybe(you can't have proper heat without tension, imho)? More love? More humor? I think any one of those options would have made it much better.

i totally love Kaiya's evil plans!!!! ^^ like teasing Kou and giving him a pricing behind the B****!! even when he is evil to his lover, i find Kaiya extremely HOT and SEXY!! Kou is SUPER CUTE!!! no wonder Kaiya teases him so much!! and i love him when he blushes... i have to say that i'd love this manga more if it actually shows kaiya's and kou's love-making scenes..... they were my fav. couple in this manga, so i was really hoping to see their H-scenes....

i enjoyed the other stories also.... it was pretty good. jun and yuujin were really H-making, renji and satoshi were really CUTE....

i love the art in this manga. they're much more beautiful than her other works!!! ^^ after finishing this manga, i really feel that the mangaka should had added in kaiya's and kou's love-making scene..... somehow, i just felt that their story wasn't as complete like the other stories in this manga where each couple were able to make love....

**over all, i enjoyed this manga very much..... except that there was no love-making scene between Kaiya and Kou, which for me is the down fall.... therefore, i rate this manga an 8

i like that kaiya and kou's story's different from the usual stuff that you see in bl manga. true, kaiya's a sadistic perv who's not exactly the best boyfriend anyone can get and he acts like an ass towards kou, but i like to imagine that if the story had developed further another side of him where his love for kou (not the sweet lovey dovey kind, that'd be too weird considering how this story started) is palpable would be shown. having said that, im kinda disappointed that kaiya and kou's story wasn't more developed. splitting a single volume among three couple's bound to cut down the story development for each, so yes, i think the author could have made it better with just one couple.
and yes, kou could use a stronger spine too XD

I like this manga overall, probably because the stories have a sort of psychological factor built into them, which made them interesting by adding a bit of twisted-ness to those seemingly sweet relationships.

However, I must say that, personally, I'm not a big fan of Kaiya and Kou's story, just because I do like my ukes with at least a little bit of power ^^;;

Throw in a dash of angst, a few tablespoons of torment, then top it of with sweet smut, and a tiny hint of shota, all that comes together to make a Recipe that can't go wrong! It is a sweet cream just perfect for desert. This is a dish I will come back for!!!

The whole thing oozes of sex appeal. I like how everyone's interconnected in each of the stories, and it's kinda funny that this turns out to be one of those series where everyone's gay (lolll). (yeah about that...in other series it sometimes pisses me off, but here it's kind of expected so I didn't feel annoyed by it) The emotions are real and the characters are well developed, so the whole thing doesn't automatically come off as just a bunch of bodies ****ing. Good to read when you're horny.

eww, when he goes to see the guy he likes he finds him with a guy and a girl that he slept with, the girl even has sperm rolliong down her leg, and he actually still wants this disgusting guy? is he insane?

This story just isn't for me. Kaiya was a complete moron and Kou was a push over. I was hoping that somewhere along the way Kaiya would be a little sweeter to Kou, especially since he claims he loves him, but he was a jerk to the end. Kou could have used a backbone. It was also disappointing to see so little of them in the volume. The other stories were mildly interesting, but nothing spectacular.

Personally, I am quite sick of happy happy shounen-ai/yaoi that ends with the typical happy endings. So I really enjoy Kaiya and Kou's story in the series. Although they come together in the end, their relationship shows serious flaws. In the end, their relationship isn't quite resolved.
One thing that disappoints me is that there aren't much of Kou and Kaiya. The author could have developed their characteristic and further their relationship.
The other couples in the book aren't quite like this couple, so I wasn't happy that the author splitted the book into three couples, leaving a lot to be desired for each couple when she ended the book.

Kaiya was a complete jerk, it would have been more interesting if Kou had given up on him and Kaiya had to put up with the fact that Kou had found someone else. But sadly that did not happen even after Kaiya makes Kou fall inlove with him by sleeping with some annoying chick and some guy (and then cruelly rubbing it in his face, knowingly hurting him) Kou still chases after him like a pathetic idiot, why is he inlove with this guy? If i saw some guy i liked showing off his relationship with some naked woman i'd be too disgusted to be with him..
