Don't read this manga when you haven't read its prequel. You won't understand the main char at all then. Also little Ayu (the daughter of Ayu's friend Reina from the prequel) will play an important role in this.

Its tragedy is exaggerated, the same as in the prequel. But it isn't as sad and dramatic.
The pace of the story is quite fast and the TL of the scanlation full of mistakes (wrong wording) which make following the events unnecessary difficult.

This sequel of Yoshiyuki follows a similar path as Ayu from the prequel (from the emotional side). Seeing no meaning in life and thus unable to enjoy it he is in quite the same position as Ayu before and same as her he'll find something he wants to protect. Since he's not someone who talks that much and hasn't personal conversations this one isn't presented as much from the main character's emotional point of view as the prequel with Ayu.
The message is still coming through though.

Unlike elalendi below me I think that he realized a lot and had a personal progress forward at the end. It wasn't just that dramatic as Ayu's way of progress:


Now I'm waiting for Deep Love - Real to be scanlated :3

Deep Love was quite possibly one of the most powerful things I have ever read. However, Deep Love - Host seemed to lack something that the prequel had. Not to say it was necessarily bad, it just wasn't nearly as good.

This is the one I dislike the least. However, this isn’t worth to read like the rest.

it was so sad.. i really want to cry but i just cant i really wish that the mangaka could have just a put abit of feelings here and there and i might have cried but no.. it just have to end..
*sigh* it was such a sad story..

anyway.. even though its still dramatic.. i still like it!

One of the mangas that I've ever liked! I should warned you guys that this contains maturity scenes but other than that, a definitely worth of your read. All of these books reflect on what is currently happening in the world. A very sad manga i say if we talk about how the world works and how a lot of people should suffer from the reality's cruelty.

Character designs. All of them were really drawn great. Gotta love how Yuu-sensei drew yoshiyuki in his own story in "HOST". Heh.

The ones that i'm looking forward are the story of yoshiyuki as a host and reina's story as a mother and a lover. each chapter will really give you cliffhangers so better watch out for that.

The only thing i didnt like about this manga is how the atmosphere is getting good yet as the chapter reaches the end, you would see what you werent really expecting to see. I really was frustrated after reading the 2nd chapter of Reina's story since i never really thought that yuu-sensei would end this chapter like that... so 9/10 for that.

Overall, this is a must-see manga!

Deep Love.. was worth the read.. not only did it move me and made me cry..but made me learn many things. So take the time to read it >< Though some scenes are abit too "H" for me..but maybe that's reality..? read on.

Very intense read..... my eyes are straining, but why won't the tears come?
