Alright

Rating: 6.0 / 10.0

I read it in the context of its time and genre, but I still could not forgive some things. Many things happen, and that's entertaining. It's melodramatic, as I expected it to be, and that's fine. What's not fine is that it pushed my suspension of disbelief to its limits:

Most events were far-fetched. I would have been fine with that if the manga didn't take itself seriously.

That debt arc is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever read

Characters are overcharactarized, forced, not consistent, one-dimensional, and their motivations are too tropey. The oldest brother is probably the only exception. He's tropey, but is done better than the rest (probably because he is demoted to a supporting character). I'm fine with tropes, just not when they are built for the sake of drama without real substance.

What's with that "I only value talent" taken up to 11? Such overcharacterization should be left for shounen manga where it's actually enjoyable

The art is good, but the "uke-azation" and "semefication" are too strong for my taste. When the couple are standing next to each other and are almost the same height, but then on the next page the uke shrinks in height just because they held hands, that's too much. I'm very good at suspension of disbelief, but people randomly shrinking and growing without explanation is too much. Or the way one ages up and becomes more "manly" and the other ages down to a childlike appearance in intimate scenes.
This is just personal preference, but I don't like "damsel in distress" uke whose only purpose is to be rescued over and over again with trauma slapped in for emotional manipulation. I don't connect well with characters when emotional manipulation is too obvious. Anyone can add a sad backstory, but actually making the reader care about it is an entirely different beast.

One would think after all the negatives I mentioned I would give it a 1, but no. It was comically enjoyable and there was enough happening to keep me reading, just not in the way the author intended. The emotional manipulation failed to work this time. Maybe it just didn't click for me personally, as I'm not usually this scrutinizing.

Got to say I really like this manga and unlike previous comments, I don't agree that it should have stopped at volume 2 at all...
And Kaname is really, really beautiful, you got to love him...

Love Masato

by Tsukitomizu

Rating: N/A

This is a good series, I recommend. The art is beautiful and the story is good. Personally I think the series can end at volume 2, but don't stop there if you did read it. The following volume is dedicated to further development between the brothers and their relationship with each other.

Now, why is my rating a 8. It's because Masato is my favorite character and the way it's developing at volume 3 & 4, I feel like Masato is being tossed away somewhat because Souichirou is more or less the main character (even though all 3 of them are the main focus). 😛 I prefer Kaname with Masato.

Sure the way he use to 'help' Kaname may have been the wrong method, but he really did his best of what he thought is right.

I will edit my rating once the series is complete and if I will be satisfy with Masato's story and development. 😛 Hey, it is personal preferences and rating.

On Masato

by nicotinegum

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

My personal favourite character is Masato. He seems quite complex, and his emotions are more wrought with helplessness and angst and anger.. He's fantastic in his own, quiet way. I love his interaction with Souichiro and I personally prefer him with Kaname. He might not have reacted in the best possible way, but he did what he thought was right. Love him <3

Gorgeous characters, deep plot, amazing art, wonderful plotline. what more can you want ?!
No matter what character personality you like, you're bound to love one of the protagonists. Too bad us English readers can only read up to the sixth chapter as of now T.T

Homophobics should stay away from the yaoi reviews- they're giving wholly misleading ratings! Brother x Brother is great- too bad non-japanese readers have to wait until chapter 6!

Really?

Rating: 9.2 / 10.0

The series has very slow updates (the author) but not compared to some other series I've read, but I will wait as long as it takes, this is one of yaoi's I've read. Also confused about what other people were saying cause I found depth in the characters, I mean yeah the romance was fast but they were relatable. The psyhcology could be better, but it's a whole a lot better than most of the yaoi's I have read, so in otherwords I am very satisfied with the series so far.

Ruined for me

by daniyagami

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

I'm another one who would preferred the story to stop at the end of volume 2 because it seems to me the perfect point to stop. I dislike what happens in volume 3, seemed to be an unnecessary continuation and the characters simply stopped to behave as themselves. If this story ends at volume 2 I would give a 10 as rating. The way it was developed from that point really made the story loses power.
I must agreed the art is wonderful.

Too little display of affection

by Lillian

Rating: 5.0 / 10.0

If you want to see sex between the (main) couple, then

skip to the last chapter (26). They wont do it before.

There is a lot of emotion, much drama and problematic pasts to overcome for those of you who care.
I wanted to see some sexy scenes and a half decent story and nice characters.
The chars are okay, the story not to my liking and only very few sexy/sweet scenes.
I dont care about the smutty ones of the unimportant staff, thrown in here and there.
So this title didnt entertain me much. It bored me most of the time and I started to skip-read things.

The art got better with the ongoing volumes. But its none of my faves. I like it more soft.

Not that you get the impression that I only want pretty art with much sex... I liked the Yume no Kodomo manga a lot.
This one here just doesnt appeal to me in any aspect.

Why is this story still continuing? That's what I want to know

by faerygoddyss

Rating: 3.0 / 10.0

This is a great example of a mangaka/author not knowing when to stop writing/drawing their series. The story started out semi-decent, but now I'm at the point where it's like "is this EVER going to end?" The answer to that is probably not. Note, that's not a good thing with this one.
