The beginning reminds me of that harsh japanese reality show denpa shonen, the one with a guy name nasubi who gets put inside an empty apartement, took all of his clothes, and forced him to collect 1 million yen just by writing postcard to win some prize. It was crazy. You can really see his transformation from healthy to just skin and bones because of lack of food.Took him 1 yr and 3 month to get them done.

OMG .. I read the novel long time ago, it's aaaaaaaaaahhhh I am so happy right now. My fave chara is Remi, yeah he's an asshole how but later he becomes much much more complex and interesting, and his own story open up a lot of his dark past on why he's acting like a moron right now. Remi my little wufie. Now I feel like reading the novel again. So glad this one becomes a manga. Ty Translator ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~

The order goes like this: Without Reservations, With Caution, With Love, With Abandon. There's also a few fluffy short stories, This one is part of with Caution: A lot to be thankful for & A Sterling new year. And there is 3 other short stories connected to With Abandon: Christmas dinner at reynolds hall, Attack of the killer dust bunnies & Christmas cookies and garland.

Hmmmm ... Spoiler ahead kay ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
Remi IS gay since childhood but him and his first lover got abused by (secret) up to the point until remi almost die and lost all his memories and his true self. The book With Caution tell his complete stories. About him, his mate Jake and his pack also his little brother Sterling. His story is realllllly sad and painful. So prepare some tissue if you want to read it.

Why am I getting a vibe that he tian is actually a really lonely guy who needs a lot of hugs?

Yeah, who knows how close he is to his fellow thugs. He has no girlfriend. Yi & Tian are probably the first people who have ever stood up for him in his life. He's probably not accustomed to someone demanding his time & presence or even being sexually desired. He's got to at least be a little flattered, even if he won't show it.

he is, icant believe you didnt realize

That is the essential aspect of He Tian as a character: he is a teen from a rich (and aparectly dangerous) family who had been neglected. He lives by himself in a huge empty apartment, he appears to have all: money, good grades and good looks, but in reality he feels really lonely and sad, he has lack of affection, and that's why he has become dominant, aggressive and bullies people to get their attention... His sadistic tendencies can't be justified, but basically he doesn't know how to make friends, how to communicate and how to make people who he likes to stay with him without forcing them to or without acting bit as an abusive macho Alfa type ... I guess he's a bit like Helga Pataki with Arnold. Mo Guan Shan is also a bit like that but more than loneliness he has anger issues aand can't trust people, he feels like the world his enemy and can't relax... Momo pretends to be strong and rebellious ... But he's bit innocent and sensitive... He's like an angry/ scared/hurt cat .

Agree!! (≧∀≦)

Actually, Tian had a friend in the early chapters. He stopped hanging out with him when he developed an interest in Yi. The guy in the early chapters who kerps touching Yi's hair. The 2edvtime he shows up, you can tell its his haircut. When he finally shows up ad an important character you can see vlearly, he touches Yi's haor for the 3ed time.

What I mean is that he doesn't seem to have any friend to whom he tells his problems, his worries... He may have friends to fool around and hang out but I mean someone who he trusts enough to show his vulnerability: he doesn't know how to have that type of friendship , how to open up

I need a gallon of holy water to purify my tainted soul .. Maybe more .. because I like this twisted manga (⊙_⊙' ) .. and some strong booze to forget it all. And a fork to scratch my eyeballs off. I love you Harada sensei for going places that no one dares to enter. somehow the aladdin song a whole new world keeps repeating inside my mind.

Hahaaa you made me lol with that Aladdin bit!

Lolololol same im really into this fucked up manga its so different from those other yaoi mangas. ~a whole new world~
Is Takane adopted or something by gramps? The snobby old lady seems to comment a lot about him being a Saibara and not a Takaba.
His nephew looks like him so I'd say no. He's probably just from a branch family.
Yes, but she keeps throwing their sarcastic tone to Takane about him being the head of the Saibara family, and how it's a special case for him and everyone chuckles after she mention that, it's just got me thinking that maybe he's not one of them and that makes him the only Saibara, or maybe his dad/mom is a commoner with no wealth. I don't know how Japanese adopt family names. That is why I am curious about his family background.
They haven't mentioned his parents yet, so I think we'll eventually learn. I suspect one of his parents married a 'commoner'.
