Yamato's Romantic Interest

It really made me cry (T.T)

This is my most favorite manga by KODAKA Kazuma. Out of all her works this one gave the deepest impression on me. I literally cried when I read about Yamato's past and how he had loved Will. Although his first love was a bit tragic, he continued to live on in order to protect his most precious companion and friends.
I wish Yamato would find a new love in the future. One that can surpass his love for Will.

I had high expectation for this coz I love detective stories with teams of hot guys. And the mangaka art significant improved in this series. But well, not really that great. Barely interested enough to finish 2 vols. I guess I'll save my money for something else instead of buying vol 3.

Another Kazuma-sensei's good work. The story and art style are good and hot! I love young Yamato esp when his on the special force. He looks good in short hair. He's so hot and sexy! It's just sad that I could only read 2 volumes. I want more! Hope I can also read the other two volumes. :/

Not enough Yaoi

SO GOOD! I Love this Manga! I read the first two volumes on the internet and when i found out that it had been dropped because of licensing, i went and bought the third volume and finally got it today in the mail...

It was really great but the problem is there isnt enough Yaoi... Volume 1, there was some, but Volume 2 barely had any but there was a little and Volume 3 only had a short extra... But i think you'll still love it, even w/o the Yaoi Goodness, I SURE DID!

I think the reason for the lack of Yaoi is because Volume 1 was based on Yamato (Gay), while Volume 2 is Tamaki (Straight but in love w/ Yamato), and Volume 3 is Kippei (Straight and just a child)... Im guessing Volume 4 is based on Sougo (Straight, but who, in my mind, is the best looking and would make a good seme)

Yamato is cool o:
Aside from that this seires is great. I'm totally hooked already. The art is gorgeous, the plot is fast paced and interesting and the characters are starting to show some great depth. So far its only explored the pasts of two main characters but im looking forward to more. And i want to know what happens with that Lieutenant x3 Love it!

drawings are really nice, not too girly and not too bara. there's action, with a lot of fighting. and you know, yaoi, of course. very sweet also, i liked how yamato was almost like a mother to the other boys.

this is one decent story. it has a good plot line mixed with action and hot sex, very enjoyable read I have to say. I have nothing more to add unless this point that if you are fan of Kazuma sensei's works, you have to give this one a try.

Plays out like...

by VampireBanana

Rating: 8.5 / 10.0

It sorta plays out like a manga version of Mission Impossible with a military and futuristic setting but with a gay slant. The story seems a little dramatic but it seems pretty tight so far, with careful attention paid to the various military and technological details.

Edit: So far, the plot is quite interesting though some of the scenes feel a little bumpy for now as their transition isn't very smooth. Also, because BL tends to be very compressed in terms of plot, some of the scenes have a bit too much info dump and insufficient foreshadowing/plotting.

An example would be the first case in the series where the woman confesses to the crime. The hints are sparse and there is insufficient time to really flesh out the whole sub-plot so it feels rather rushed. The rest of the manga, though, is at least quite enjoyable.
