Yuen was abandoned by his parents and taken to an orphanage. His only support was Yan, who was like an older brother. Yan also cherished Yuen like his younger brother, but one night, a cruel incident that separates them occurs.
A few years later Yan, who became a yakuza and lived as Aoyagi, visited the facility again. However, Yuen, whom he reunited with, is different from the boy in his memory. He was a bewitching young man filled with incense -…
This could have been a better read if it had been longer. It deals with heavy topics such as pedophilia, sexual assault, and rape. There were points in the story where things just went way too fast and other points were things were just oh so convenient and swept up way too quickly. If this had been 2 volumes and delved deeper it could have been so much better and it really pains me because the art is absolutely GORGEOUS! I love the character designs and think aesthetically it was well drawn but the story just needs a bit of refining.
Un BL intensito amb molt de drama sobre dos nois que convivien en un orfenat i que, d'ençà d'un fet tràgic , es veuen obligats a viure separats. Deu anys més tard es retroben, però l'uke no l'acaba de reconèixer i l'altre prefereix mentir. Entren en acció els yakuza, llàgrimes, confessions i final feliç. Tindria més bona nota si la pantomima de no saber qui és l'altre fos més versemblant, es pot deduir des del minut 1 i li treu gràcia a tot plegat...
This manga has a great style that goes well with the setting - though it took me a few chapters to get into it.
I think the heavy themes of rape, child abuse, sex trafficking, etc, are handled fairly well for a single volume. There's no excuses made for the character's vile actions but at times it does feel a little torture-porny, putting traumatized characters under the same traumatic situations again and again.
The mystery isn't much of a mystery.
That said, this manga is still a fairly entertaining story that will pull at your heart strings.
Comenzó bien, con la pinta de ser una historia bien dramática, con muchos temas serios.
Pero luego todo se puso muy raro y simple. Con una resolución que ni si quiera terminé de entender. Ni si quiera terminé de comprender que fue lo que pasó en realidad.
El dibujo tampoco fue mi favorito. Mmmm estuvo muy rápido todo en realidad. Siento que le metieron contenido +18 lo más que pudieron y con eso perdió la seriedad con la que comenzó.
Tenía potencial, pero ya al final solo completé la lectura porque si.
Me gustó bastante, si bien es cierto que en un punto se pone todo muy apresurado y no resuelve algunas cosas, la verdad es que lo disfrute mucho y el arte se me hizo bastante bonito. Si lo van a leer, lean primero las advertencias.
The one with the Japanese gangster with a heart of gold getting out of prison and going back to his hometown to continue protecting his Chinese boyfriend. Plus accidental children acquisition.
When I saw the cover I thought it was a girl and I didn't like the story. Yuen-kun is suffering too much and the art style 0/10 sorry my opinion. I'm giving one star cus the cover ate for real ✨
