Definitely one that represents not just some fantasy world, but things that can happen in real life.

i read the prequel then this and i didn't even know i was crying till i touched my eyes. i was in a good mood before i read it, but now it's totally ruined. i like the ideas it tells u, but i don't think it was wise of me to read it when i was happy...
Melodrama that's so bad, it loops back to being hilarious.

Despite featuring someone dying or wanting/trying to commit suicide almost every chapter, Deep Love: Host is somehow less annoying than its prequel, Deep Love: Ayu no Monogatari. Unlike that one, Host has the advantage of more side characters who create conflict and keep things entertaining in spite of the main character's lack of personality.
It's kinda funny how lifeless Yoshiyuki is, really: people call him "dangerous" but he's the most boring out of everyone. His main "thing" is the fact that he doesn't understand why Ayu called herself "dirty"...despite her outright telling him the reason. Apparently, he finds it difficult to comprehend that being repeatedly degraded makes one feel ashamed of themselves. He then gets creepily attached to the child of a friend of Ayu's, just because she's also named Ayu. I couldn't make up a stupider plot if I tried.
That being said, Ayu no Monogatari had simple writing that was easy to follow, but I frequently had to go back and reread panels in Host because the writing feels like there are panels or pages missing sometimes. Frankly, I didn't even bother to remember most of the characters and their dramas, and in the end it doesn't matter, because all of it is bonkers and silly.
I also like the running theme of homeless people imparting wisdom out of the blue on the main characters. Of course, there's the return of the text fragments that spell out what we just saw, because the author thinks his readers are idiots. We love consistency!
Stupid Moment Supreme: leaving a young, blind child on her own, unsupervised, to play in an area across from a busy road. This happens regularly. The blind child, naturally, also imparts wisdom.
Ayu no Monogatari irritated me, but Host made me laugh several times. Thank you, author — I've rarely seen such trash writing that tries to take itself so seriously, and fails so hard at it.

This is a great sequel, after Ayu's death, but really it's soo sad! Deaths at the spur of the moment of happiness, Bitter yet heartfelt. But reading this made me disappointed in Reina. How could she?! She just dumps her daughter, Ayu, and goes serving as a prostitute for money and meanwhile,
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
Ayu dies because of earthquake. And I'm f*ckin frustrated at the grandma, how did she take care of Ayu all along?! Dropping her off at the evil cousin's house and knowing that she would get bullied yet shrugs off saying that "Oh, I'm sick."
luckily Yoshiyoki arrived, but damn that f*cking b*tchy cousin of Ayu's, bullying Ayu who is blind and hits her on the head that results in Ayu's death. Why does that b*tch get to live while Ayu has to die?! So unfair! But that's what's making this so traged, so thumbs up for the author again.

I just don't get it. Why did he go do hosting? Wasn't the whole point of Ayu dying was because she was selling her body for his life?
Besides this, I thought it was ok. I just wanted to know what happened with Yoshiyuki. There were some intense action-packed moments there so that made it worth reading. But I just didn't really understand... I mean, it ended without him having a dramatic realization or anything...

its less smutty than the ones with the female main characters. this one is depressing but not as depressing as its prequel. its so dramatic tho. when one happy thing happens, something dark and heavy happens. its so depressing..
[edit by mod,contains spoilers]
this is the continuation of the dark mature drama deep love. I loved this manga and even though the main character died, it still continues in the same dark direction. too bad only chapter 1 has been translated up till now. Damn you scanlations groups; Pick it up allready!^^

I do like this sequel of Aya's story as Yoshiyuki grew stronger and moved on in life in search of Reina. Its really a life lesson but also tragic at first. But i do like the story of this as its more positive at the end and Yoshiyuki did not chose to commit suicide in the end.

I can't express how heartbroken i was for Yoshiyuki!!
Yes yes, you have to read the prequel to understand anything! Seriously, to think that he would become such a handsome lad, i really wish his beloved Ayu was there to see him so grown up.
It was amazing, i've never read tragedy sequel/prequel related stories until this one it touched my heart so much.
The lengths he goes to try and understand Ayu's pain, it had me regretting her death every single page. And to think that little Ayu was so much like her mum's friend, not her mum (lawl i think something happened there coes it really doesnt seem to work out in reality)..
oh God, Ayu was such a strong girl. To be able to live with hope and sadness and understand that one day you have to let go.. To die with such a respectable manner. To leave Yoshiyuki in lost of another loved one.. This manga was just amazing..
