However, his lover, a former host named Shinobu Hishiya, has forsaken the wild club lifestyle in favor of his new job as a construction worker.

Hot and steamy, and jeoulousy abounds between these two! For two individuals who work as premier performers at and elite host club, it’s too funny that they’re always jealous when the women or men come on to their partners. Personally I think they do it on purpose to keep the sexual tension and excitement between them. Love the artwork, the men really look like hot men, not androgynous pretty boys.

Casi es más interesante la historia corta que la principal...:/

Manga leído: ‘’Play Boy Blues’’, de Shiuko Kano. Ediciones La Cúpula, ¿qué pasa con los tomos que faltan? LGBT, BL, Yaoi, relaciones varias, amor, erótico…
Hace la host.. que tego este tomo y creía que era único, y resulta que no. Así que desde aquí, me reitero: acaben lo que empiezan, no nos dejen a medias, y más a los que apoyamos: NO ES JUSTO. ¿O me he perdido algo?
Me encantaron el dibujo: rostros definidos y masculinos, sobre todo; la relación celosa y atormentada (excusas para acabar en la cama, la bañera…) entre dos personajes con sus personalidades; la relación erótica y algo más explícita que otros mangas más relamidos…; y sobre todo que el manga rezuma amor, aunque, claro, se ve chicha, y eso, por dios, es un pecado en los tiempos que corren y más en el mes en el que estamos (léase la ironía).

Voy a tener que actualizarme…

Me gustó bastante, pero creo que la edición no fue la mejor, había ocasiones en las que no entendía qué estaba pasando...

Lo que más me gustó irónicamente fue la historia corta, incluida al final del tomo, ya que fue bastante entretenida y parecía un poco más interesante que la historia original a mi parecer...

Un classico praticamente, nei primi 2000s un must read e secondo me ancora regge, i personaggi sono assolutamente imperfetti e ambigui ma c’è una leggerezza e un senso di liberazione nell’avere un lieto fine proprio per loro.
Personalmente trovo anche lo stile del disegno bellissimo, ma so che ha i suoi scettici…spiace per loro!

I am a big fan of this author, especially her art work, I was disappointed when the series got dropped. I see now that it has since been picked up, I may revisit at some point. Still have v. 1 in paperback.

La historia principal se me hizo un poco revuelta, disfrute mas la mini historia del final.

Nice artwork, but it bored me a little except for some parts. Also a bit confusing as to who was speaking sometimes.
