Fantastic ideas, but very confusing

The art in this manga is beautiful and evocative, and the plots of these two stories were fascinating and inventive. However, I found both stories to be very confusing at crucial times. There are sections where the narrative explains the sci-fi parts of the plot, but the explanations are confusing which might be partly a translation issue. The first story wasn't as difficult as the second. I've read about the multi-verse and many worlds theories, but I found the explanation of what happened to the various characters to be overlong and not very enlightening. Sometimes I couldn't figure out who the characters were when they had counterparts in the other world. I'm still not sure if there were 2 or 3 sets of Tokiwos and Jius. I'll probably try to read it again and see if I get more out of it a second time.

Oh god I love this, so mysterious and original! The art and story were remarkable, nothing at all like your usual BL. Although, the uke in both stories was still very effeminate, it somehow fit very nicely what with the gender bender theme, not to mention the gender bender was done tastefully and not shamelessly as well. It just hit me so intriguingly that I read the two stories over and over again. Don't even get me started on the sci-fi omg love.... ;o; /nerd

This is one of the few mangas that I've bothered going back and re-reading (though just the first story. The second story is a bit too plot-thick and un-amazing). It makes you question right n wrong, and the characters are likable. Also, I usually dislike angel-centric stories, but this one doesn't bother me. Some may end up finding it too angsty or ridiculous, but give it a shot at least!

I selfishly want a sequel, though it's probably best left as this oneshot. :/

An excellent manga

The science-fiction and theory and ideas presented are really interesting.

If this had been shounen or even seinen or shoujo, I bet there'd be even more readers by now.

Both stories are confusing, but they’re not bad. The first seems a bit interesting but pretty out of edgy. The second story is above confusing and complicated. I still have no idea what the real pilot twist is.

Second Story is waaaay too complicated

Maybe cuz I'm dumb or something but I couldn't even get what the plot was all about, all I can see is many different Jiu and Tokiwo. I'm so confused that I didn't even want to try connecting the dots with all the info provided. It's too much for a tiny brain like mine.

...and I still prefer Sex Pistol, no less.

First story really grabbed me, I was fully prepared to be invested. Then it just ended.
Feels a bit like a what-if as much as a oneshot.
Second story just didn't grab me, might have to o reread it again just to seen if it can grab me at all.

cos it made my head hurt. im not good in thinking. so the second story does not appeal to me much, but the gist is waiting and longing for your destined one am i right?
the first story is the best. i will not think how the angels reproduced, but the moral question put forth is intriguing.

i liked the first one better

the first story was better for me. it had an original interesting and somewhat convenient ending but still it worked

the second story however was a little bit more complicated but still you gotta appreciate the mangaka's tenacity in creating a story that involves parallel universe and time , truthfully it blew my mind.

they both involved philosophy to some extent and aside for the shonen-ai elements which i really appreciate it was also rather intellectual. the only thing i would have liked changed was a better drawings but hey i still gave it a ten, that just how good it is
