Vol. 3: Not as good as the previous volume, mostly because it was basically a stand alone story in which Kubota and Tokito investigated a cult and became friends with a freelance reporter. We did learn more about Tokito's past, though. And the bonus story was incredibly cute!

Vol. 4: Sometimes, I just want to shake the characters hard and order them to, you know, TALK to each other. So much trouble could've been avoided here, if Kubota had just talked to Tokito, if he had told him the truth from the get-go...

The bonus story made me sad. The ending was quite tragic and even though I didn't like that character much, it still made me sad...

Vol. 5: This volume fleshed out the characters of Kubota and Tokito, mostly through the POV of a neighbor's kid, Shouta. It's set between vol. 1 and 2. I loved to see all the little things about those two, as viewed by an outsider. A good one.

Vol. 6: That was really... bloody. Yikes. But it showed nicely how far Kubota would go for Tokito. For Kubota, nobody but Tokito matters and it was great that he finally understood that. And the strange thing is, their relationship still isn't sexual! Just very... co-dependent.

Vol. 1: What a weird, weird manga. So violent and raw, there are no good guys in this, only Yakuza members, murderers and arms and drug dealers. The main hero is Makoto Kubota, who's in this all for himself - but at the same time, he's strangely selfless. I wonder what's up with his aversion to sex in general, het or gay. Quite intriguing. And did I mention how weird it is?

Vol. 2: This manga's getting better and better. The relationship between Kubota and Tokito fascinates me. It's not sexual but still crazily possessive and protective. And it's so funny to watch Tokito bristle when everybody calls him a "cat".

And again, the manga is quite violent, so definitely not for faint-hearted people.



And I'm done with the "144 in 2010" challenge! W00t! Go me! *throws confetti*
