lenaGRonyx's manga / #★★★★☆/★★★★★(96)

So in fact, this manga is really, really, really a good one. No, really, but it'a a very complicated one... No-no-no-no, it's not, instead it's just confusing. And I think it's because of the introduction with the story of the dream about piano, wich one goes nowhere and nobody understand. So when you read the manga (well maybe not for you but it was my case anyway): the different stories go on (one day it's this couple then another, always changing), well what I want to say is, that it was fast and with minimal explanation, and you're like - "I think I understand little by little and also the way the mangaka want me to understand the title "Links" and their stories of all these couples, but... I don't understand... Why?! Am I sleepy? The translator didn't do a good work? I'm not in the mood for this kind of story right now? WTF is happening!? What is it?!" - And everytime the mangaka introduce you a new couple, a new story, you searching the "link" (indeed xp) with the First story of "piano dream", you're thinking about throughout the whole manga reading and it's that, that confuse you. - "who was it in the dream and beside who was the one dreaming? Is it in the past, the futur, the present? etc" - Well you're totally lost because the mangaka introduce you quickly and into small piece on purpose, and with minimal details, but plus, the less related couple to the introduction story up to the one who's the most, so you kind of understand the whole thing only at end, and the real "explanation", the "link" you've been shearching the whole time, about the introduction "dream piano", is appearing only at the very end of the manga, after the introduction of all couples. It's tiring to explain, I don't think I did it well, but one thing is sure, I think that you have to read this manga several time (OR I think just find the page with the portrait of the characters and read it first will really help you, plus in the portraits you find info that you don't see while reading the story, iy's reallly weird) to really understand the story, and what the mangaka want to show, say to you. And more you read it and understand the story , more you know the characters, the couple, more you can see the little details and thinkings, and appreciate this manga and the plot, the manner it was write is, for me, kind of magic, real poestry and beauty, it's kind of amazing.

["Aisanai Otoko" - "Vanilla Star"] (1. Te wo Tsunaide, Sora wo 2. Amayakana Toge 3. Aisanai Otoko 4. Vanilla Star 5. Make me happy)???????? 'Til the almost end I was still thinking "I would have liked more Takeshi x Sahara, they're so good together, I would have loved seeing them gently and slowly fall in loooooove" But they're too cute and happy, I'm totally beat, so I give up <3 XDD

|Chapter 4 - Discontinued| I really love, adore, venerate Yoneda Kou but... WHY ARE YOU DISCONTINUING IT, HUH?!!! (╬￣皿￣)凸

|Chapter 3 - Discontinued| Discontinued, guys, really.. (TT◡TT) I despise you, Yoneda Kou... *Cry like a child*

["Youthful Love" - "Konbini-kun"] I already read this one so many times, I really love iiiiiiiiiiit!! Yamai is such a man, all men on earth should be like him x)

This manga is hard to definite and it gave me so much different feelings at different times..., in this way it is really awesome! At beginning, I was angry, then disgusted by Hiroi attitude: How someone can be so selfish and hurt so much poeple while still saying he's suffering, I was like "just die". Then I was really..., not really disturbed, but more like perturbed and intrigued by Mine as a bottom, like it was a real important stuff and question XD I don't know, I just couldn't take this fact out of my mind, it was like I was looking at an alien, I observed, intrigued is really the word. Brief, yet the story with Hiroi as the uke would be so much less interesting: physically 'cause of the cliché "the girlish weak is the bottom" and for the storyline, this one would turn out on something completely different... And well, after a while, Mine is really great as uke, specially for this 3P I think c= Then I was depressing, everybody seemed to be jealous over another one, and to not say a word about it. Then, after Mine's sentence, when he said something like "If you share me, you can't I do the same?", it becomes awkward: first you're like "ah they finally found someone, this will end smoothly bittersweet" but yet, nothing comes from that, everyone is still jealous and nothing as changed, you don't understand what's happening, what will do the characthers, why there's no one who say something, you don't know what will come next and you're not sure where the mangaka want to get you, you know. And in the end, with the last chapter, you're feeling kind of weirdly heart-warming, despite everything... Isn't it amazing?

["Gaten no aitsu" - "Play boy blues" - "Punch Up" - extra "Punch Up returns" - extra "Punch ↑: c.Hontoni atta kowai Punch↑" - "Mayou Otoko"] |Chapter 14.3| Ohhh, love this manga, love this couple, I can't find the words for the time being. The only negative points (it's really details and they do not take down the story so it's just the picky me) are the fact that it starts too fast and ends too fasts, if you understand what I mean (**SPOILER** kind of too soon in the relationship, but it's kind of in their character so... and the end, they were having so much problems and as soon as Kouta recovered memory, it was all good, well it's kind of logic but too abrupt **END SPOILER**) that motoharu was wearing his glasses half way too often (I really loved it at first, it was unprecedented, found it realistic and appreciate it, I wear glasses too) and more times without it and sometimes clearly wearing it to see better the lewd things they can do together x3 "gosh i really like motoharu~ he's so stupid yet at times, he can be so damn attractive. such a versatile seme he is" and he is also a really competent lover in bed, really important matter xD "Motoharu is one of the best Semes out there and Kouta is so sweet and tough and delicate these 2 r my favorite yaoi couple"

Evaluation of "NightS" only. ("Reply" and "Kanjou Spectrum" can be found elsewhere, independently)

"the manga feels anticlimactic, it builds up emotions but at the same time it off panels the climax" It's that.
