Just one word can describe my feelings for B-eyes: Wonderful!
And for those who haven't read the manga yet and are unsure on weather to do so or not, I'm now listing up the facts on why reading it is a MUST.
The Plot:
It's an interesting story which makes you intrigued and excited by only reading the first chapter.(I mean, what doesn't make you squeal when reading about a mysterious hot guy which also happens to have a crazy hot partner??) The plot and story setting is awesome and though some people might think that the manga seems boring and confusing at the beginning, I can assure you that it will become a lot more thrilling when you read deeper into the story. (For me, I wasn't completely caught until the heroine, Lulu, came into the story.) Some might disregard reading B-eyes because it is labled "tragedy", but really, it's not something to get concerned about and definitely nothing that will affect the story into being less awesome. (Maybe I didn't gave it much thought because it was a freaking great read!) The story always surprised me and the twists left me craving for more.
The characters:
The heroes are wonderful!!! Kazuya and Keith's relationship was what made me drool over the manga in the first place. Though their past may seem conflicted, they stay true to each other and have a strong bond throughout the manga.(Which I LOVE!) The struggles they go through leaves a mark in ones heart and as individual characters, they are prisoning. I love the fact that they are goofing around (especially Kieth 😉 ) and care for each other like real brother. It's really heart warming.
As a wrote above, Lulu and Kazuya's relationship was what saved the manga from getting uninteresting (his other "woman-relationships" was however agreeable, but really only sidekicks in my perspective...) You keep thinking that Kazuya is this horrible dark killer who hasn't any feelings at all, but Lulu shows you that you are wrong. Lulu is the one (expect for Keith) that drags Kazuya out of his darkness and makes him human. Even though he knows that he shouldn't care for her, he can't help letting her inside his blocking barrier.
The Romance:
The manga getting categorized as "Mature" really exaggerates it. I believe they are referring to the killing in the manga because SPOILERS there aren't really any adultish happening...though maybe some lovely scenes with kisses 😉 The romance isn't the important thing in the plot, which might make it unsatisfying for most romance lovers. The plot is after all concentrating around Kazuya personally, and his story for a happy ending. The romance is just there to make the story more sweet in all the killing and has a underlying affect in the choices Kazyua make. It's brief at the beginning, (Kazuya really has no clue about the other party's feelings...sigh) but as the story develops, the firework's finally make KABOOMS! I was indeed screaming: "Finally!!!!!".
It was worth waiting for 😉
The art:
Really beautiful. Not the typical "large-sparkily-eyes", but more masculine (though not shounen masculine). Cute boys, cute girls....what more can you ask for?? Oh, and the background details and environment are of course great!
All in all, the manga is great and really a worthy read (It's only 4 volumes too!). The ending can seem quite rushed at first, but after reading the whole manga 5 times, I realized it was the perfect ending with all the loose strings finally being tied together. (Though I wouldn't have minded a fifth volume)
If you love action with hot guy's in a "bromance" relationship, (haha no, this is not shounen ai) struggling with themselves, in finding their home and future purposes, then B-eyes is a fabulous choice to read. The manga stands out and isn't a typical read. And as I wrote before, the romance may not always be there, but when it is, it makes you melt with joy 😀
