I love Yamada Yugi's art and her storyline, so looking at this manga I don't like it one bit. Like asiancrackerfolife said, I like Sawaragi the most of this storyline. Takatsudo Shin is an a****** use and being mean to Kurata Izumi. Only like oh, I love you very much that is why I went sour. And the idiot Kurata Izumi still likes him. This story is somewhat disappoint to me (no offense). However less disappoint that Yamada Yugi didn't write this or else I'll be more disappoint that she wrote this type of story (usually her story is more light and fun).

Characters are very dull to me. The only person I like is actually Sawaragi so HAWT!.
I'm so happy there's a story just for him I can't wait until it's uploaded long live YAKUZA!

at last... finally, it has completed. It's really good though there's few minor exception but still it doesn't affect my mood. Great drawing as always and i can't wait for drama cd of this manga

It took me a long, long time to get into Yamada's works, possibly because I wasn't very impressed by her aviation manga (I still have yet to give it a second chance). However, all of her other manga have really sucked me in. There's something really refreshing about her work - while her plots may seem like the contrived, stereotypical yaoi plot, she always puts an original twist to it through her storytelling and her engaging characters. While this is not one of my favorites of hers, I still feel the need to rank it 10, because it's just that excellent.

Not too bad though the other plot angle linking all of them felt really contrived.

All in all, the manga was kinda interesting but it's a bit sad that the plot wasn't meatier. On the plus side, Yamada's art is nice as ever.

Just my type of yaoi at the moment - Yamada Yugi's art style integrated *well* with someone else's plot. I mean, I do enjoy her other stuff, but I'm there for the art, so this is great. Chemistry, a grown-up cast, a kick-ass tattoo, and a couple of small mysteries thrown in for good measure ("Why did he say that?" "Do those two know each other?!") are leaving me checking for a new chapter every other day, even if it does mean seeing that ghastly 'worldly' kid again. Well, there had to be some small thing to keep it from being perfect, or it wouldn't be yaoi.

ETA: Wow, this series just gets better and better - every scene is either interesting or hot, and often both. Yamada Yugi's totally owning me with her art and her characters' expressions, and Aida Saki (who I'd never heard of before) is still putting in far more effort than she could get away with in this genre. God, I'm on tenterhooks!

I'm a big fan of Yugi Yamada. I love her art style and her original stories are enjoyable, though her storylines usually fall a bit short of awesomeness. In this story Yugi Yamada teams up with a writer - and honestly the result is better than Yugi Yamada's usual solo work. I admire how seamlessly the story and art fit in this work, as if only one person created the entire thing. It's not just text narration over pretty art, which is a pitfall with artist-writer teams. I haven't even finished reading the first chapter and I'm already hooked!

I love this story already and I am only one chapter in. I cannot wait for the next update!!! I love Yamada Yugi's pacing and how fluid everything seems!!!!
