Shima and Togawa with all the their faults, baggage and insecurity are probably my favorite couple ever. I laughed, cried and almost threw my tablet across the room at various points. I discovered at one point, much to my dismay, that I had actually fallen in love with a fictional character (Togawa). I fretted over the need for therapy until I realized that it was probably the utmost of compliments to the author who had written such an indepth character capable of eliciting such emotions from a reader. I realized that it was my desire to meet such a man, in reality, that had caused my heart to pound. He Is my ideal of what I'd like my "Romeo" to be, and this is one of those stories I'd like to continue forever. If you're on the fence about reading this one, my advice is jump down and jump in, you won't regret it.

I've gone through the raws and even though I had a sneaking suspicion about the ending, it gave me no pleasure whatsoever to discover I was right, or very close to it. I know you can't always have that sugar coated ending, and lately it seems to be the trend to leave you with a bad taste in your mouth (no pun intended) , or an aching in your heart. It's still a fantastic read with exceptional artwork and I'd read it again despite the ending.
Yohan has got to to be, no strike that, he is one of the most perfect BL boyfriends written. He's perfect as is, from his sweet gentle boyish side to his mature make you moan in bed side, I'd be in heaven if I could find a guy that's one tenth the man he is. Oh well *sighs* back to reality and the awkward teens I'm used to.
Thank you for the updates...you are appreciated more than you know!!!
