Art:
The art was beautiful as always, but I was sort of disappointed of how there weren't too many drawings in the book. I just love her style though.
Story:
The plot twist made the story take a very interesting turn, and I like how the author did what she did with laying out the story. She didn't have the character realize everything of what had been going on until later as the story progressed. It just wasn't him being told about everything that would have the readers gripping their chairs waiting for his reaction, in the first 5 pages. I found this book enjoyable like the rest. For those who wanted more sexy time, this book makes up for the rest. It is much more graphic and has many more instances of it. There was also a lot more violence in this book compared to the others, but I think it made the story work more. I am always shocked at the stuff the author comes up with. It's a very moving story, that can be a tad bit depressing (it brought me to tears on occasion).
The thing I didn't like about this book was the side story at the end. All of the side stories were involving the main characters, but the last one just didn't work good for me. Some new characters were involved and it was nice to see where the characters were and what they were doing. The thing that annoyed me was that the two main characters personalties were almost stripped. They just didn't seem like the same people in the main story; they just weren't as unique anymore. Also the 2 other characters that were involved were kind of annoying, and kept having a really bad relationship that just didn't make much sense. One guy is always crying, and the other guy is "MMHMH GET AWAY FROM ME" one moment then "PLZ LIVE WITH ME" 10 seconds later. They also had sex like 10 times in a row, which was not only kind of annoying to read but also kind of gross. The sex scenes were just way too many, and too close to each other in this side story.
Overall:
I love the characters and I think they are both really interesting. I enjoyed this series, and glad it was was pretty realistic and not a story where everything is lovey dovey and happy 24/7. I would not recommend this story for the light at heart though, since there are several cases of violent beatings and it's a kind of chaotic story. It's definitely a refreshing series, compared the the run of the mill yaoi novels/manga out on the market.
