I like the manga. It actually explains what's going on more than the anime. There must be a reason they are rushing the anime so much (It's only barely ahead of the manga), but it really lacks the context that you get from the manga.
Has anyone read the light novel? As far as I know, it's not been translated by any group. I'm curious how much difference there is. I mean, if there is THIS much difference between the manga and anime, I wonder how much context has been left out between the LN and manga...
I'm a chick, so I've read a lot of yaoi manga, but just recently started reading bara. I have to say that most bara I've come across seems much more believable to real-life scenarios and I think that's great. Some gay friends who've flipped through my yaoi from time to time were like, "This is such bullshit. This NEVER happens in real life." And I get that. Really enjoyed this because it had depth and wasn't just fluff.
Bara is more commonly written by gay men rather than by women, so I guess it’s the authors experience that makes it more believable rather than a woman writing yaoi for fun. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ It’s great!
