Synopsis... )

Review: Despite this being a Youka Nitta manga, it's not yaoi (yet?), though the possibility of it turning yaoi is there, what with Kaname and Hide living together. It's a supernatural (murder) mystery and a really well-plotted one. I loved how connected everything was. I liked the second story better because it was more about the main characters whereas the first story served as an introduction in a "who is who and what do they do" kind of way. And the art is beautiful, stunning even, I would say.

... when people mangle the word yaoi. I've seen it spelled in all possible ways from yoai to yayoi and what not and it always makes me want to scratch out my eyeballs.

Seriously, if you (the general you) don't know what yaoi stands for, use gay manga/anime instead. It works just as well and it won't make you look like an idiot. Or use the term Boy's Love or BL, the common term for yaoi manga/anime in Japan.

And for those, who are curious about what yaoi stands for, it's "Yama nashi, ochi nashi, imi nashi," which basically means "No climax, no point, no meaning."

I'm not trying to play the educated one here. This, it's all from the internet, you just have to google it.
