I agree with Dannybgr8. It is worth the pain. Throughout the story is very, very sweet. Yellow Dragon is one of the loveliest Semes in Yaoi.
Their love is beautiful and very, very sexy and there is a happy ending. It is just abrupt after the last arc is so stressful.
So in my case, I felt there wasn't a payoff for me as a reader. It isn't that it is a bad ending, just in my case (again) it didn't feel satisfying. I could re-read everything up until just before the end. But to me, this story needed an epilogue or an additional chapter, that's all.
Please do. Tale of Yellow Dragon is very beautiful both for the story and art style. I think I am a bit bitter because I just wanted a bit more from it at the end. You'll see what I mean. It isn't torture and it can get a little stressful but it is worth it.
The author or group that does these stories tell very engaging stories but have a bit of a thing for leaving some things up in the air. Yellow Dragon is the most satisfying so far (for stories that have concluded) but for me it needed just a little more.
P.S. I like Harada but yeah, weird.
Pheeeewww...I made it thru these chapters...still can't do it with Yellow Dragon but I made it thru this...good
