I feel quite conflicted about this manga. Having dropped it in the middle of reading and coming back later, I do have to say it draws you in. I could talk about the story, but there are others that do that, so i see no point. Rather i will tell you how i see it.
The art is beautiful. The backgrounds are usually the stars of the pages, followed closely by the costume design. I, myself, rather enjoyed one of the main character’s androgynous design, but the other main one had a somewhat plain look. I guess it goes well with their role in society of this story.
I dropped it the first time because I got angry. The story keeps hinting at a romantic relationship between the two males, throwing almost pornographic images at times in it. I have no problem with that. I do however have a problem with oversexualisation of same sex couples, while subtly hating on “homos” at the same time. Which the manga does do, really subtly and sparely.
I came back because i love the aloof long haired boy and wanted to know more about his story, but the oversexualisation of his character threw me off so now I’m dropping this the second time at 22 chapters read.
The story is mediocre, quite plain actually. The subplots are episodic with only a bit connecting them. But the manga overall is a good read for when you want a bit of humor and some good looking characters to look at.
If you’re here for the yaoi, there is none. If you’re here for always clothed characters with a pure story, there is also none.
But if you’re here for the comedy (perverted or otherwise) and pretty art, nice dialogue and some episodic challenges/mysteries, i guess this could be your manga.
Have fun reading!
