he is, without a doubt, one of my favorite characters in all of yaoi. the only other one that comes to mind right now is taira hikaru from rules/hydra. 2 of them hold very special places in my heart, because their stories are so compelling. but apart from all other guys, ed conducts himself with such quiet dignity, even (and especially) when facing tremendous adversity and hardship. i loved this manga. i know that chang was a necessary part of ed's development/story, but i HATE HATE HATE what he did to him (you KNOW what i'm talking about). other than that part, this manga was just outstanding. very impressed with the writing and art. who would have thought that a love story could believably bloom with a backdrop of porn??? i will truly return to this again and again for a good read. <3 <3 <3 100 stars, hearts, thumbs up, etc!!
how much i LOVE this manga. every chapter i'm either laughing or crying (or both). there are so many touching back stories, and the characters are so layered. it's really moving to read about people who care about their precious ones SO MUCH. plus my crush on chiba just keeps raging. such a tsundere, but SUCH a great guy. *hearteyes*
but those brothers. lordy. i need help. y'know it's probably because the love between them was so clear, and the gradualness of them stepping into foreign territory was done so well. not smutty, creepy, forced, dysfunctional...all the normal adjectives you associate with most incest stories. XD the art was super attractive too.
beautifully and maturely written so far, GORgeous art. i hope they can find what they feel they're missing, and move forward positively. i'm not always for teacherxstudent pairings, because it can sometimes be horribly imbalanced, and the age difference cringe-worthy, but i am looking forward to their developing relationship. i really hope it ends well!! *crossing fingers*
i am so in love with him; he's SO FRICKIN CUTE! can i just say that puppydog types are like at the top of my list? i simply adore earnest, good-hearted, attentive, hard-working guys!! *_* course, he's handsome too. AND younger!! it's as if this author has just shot an arrow right thru my heart...
(omg the part where he's waiting for him outside his room...TOO CUTE!! i'm dying!!!) x_x
