This was an awesome story. I loved all the characters. Even the little girl who was a sacrifice to the witch and became a witch herself. Her guilt and regret really touched me. But, my absolute favorite character was Tio/Theo/Teo. Poor guy's name changed more often than the weather in Montana. LOL He was so adorable.
I guess I'm old and jaded because everyone is amazed that Gold could take a demon or werewolf dick in his ass and I have seen both men and women take 2 liter bottles in the same place, so I'm not surprised at all. LOL

...has been right in the palm of your hand the whole time. This was a beautiful manga from top to bottom. The art is clean, smooth and the characters are expressive. The story, too, is beautiful. Well, written and nuanced with fairly realistic conflicts and resolutions. The main character didn't catch his crush, but in the end he finds something much better.
The concept is cute, the art is nice, but the plot started nowhere and stayed there. I spent more time Googling terms than I did reading the manga. This was a waste of data. Could have used it for porn. So sad.
Sadly, that potential is wasted with a timeline that jumps around, ambiguous relationships between characters, little character development and and ending that leaves you feeling like the main couple are always on tenderhooks in their relationship. The art is undoubtedly beautiful and that draws you in to liking the characters, but beyond that there really isn't much of a story. In the end, it all just feels empty and unfinished.
The plot was average, at best. The characters were annoying, the pace was weird and the conflicts were cliché. The art was pretty though. #－.－)
I think my displeasure really fell to the characters and their connection. Hikaru was ostentatious and overbearing and it annoyed me. Usually I enjoy a pushy seme if they are the "overgrown puppy" or the "arrogant playboy", but Hikaru was a combo of both and it felt like too much. Kei was simply lifeless. I felt nothing either from him or for him. I never got the feeling that he even liked Hikaru as a child, let alone as his older version. There was no spark at all.
I will probably have to accidentally reread this a few times before I even remember the plot and characters.
Agreeeed!
I avoid chick shit. It just ain't my thing. I'm a fujoshi right down to the marrow of my bones. This was a spur of the moment choice and I was impressed. I admired the girlfriend and really didn't expect to see the skanky little homewrecker act so insightful. That one threw me. I doubt I'll read any other manga in this genre, but I'm glad I read this one.
First, beyond the poetic ramblings of the MCs disturbed mind, there is nothing supernatural here. The kid is mad (insane) with jealousy and imagines himself as a vampire, werewolf, monster to rationalize his desire to kill his unfaithful lover. However, he is just a high school student who fell deeply in love with an asshole.
Second, this story is amazingly intense! You can really feel the MC desire to completely possess his unfaithful lover and feel both his relief and frustration with himself when he finds out his lover only did those terrible things to get him to admit to loving him. Then, you can sense the slow build up of possessiveness again when his fears and pridefulness begin to overwhelm him. Truly an amazing mangaka put this together. It was heartwrenching, sad and yet, in some twisted way, very satisfying.
sorry... meant to like
Willard is an angel of destruction. When he becomes filled with darkness he descends to the world and where he descends, he causes destruction. Time and loneliness cause the first scene of destruction we see. That is when he meets Elias and is intrigued by the pain and darkness in his eyes. Elias has known pain before Willard descended and destroyed everything. Willard takes Elias to his "home" and keeps him there. Elias' feelings of fear and hate and Willard's feelings of contempt soften and become love over that time. Elias realizes he loves Willard but thinks Willard does not return his feelings. So, he decides to jump from Willard's home in the clouds in order to die. Willard stops him because he actually does love Elias. However, loving an angel of destruction and being loved by him fills Elias with darkness and it corrodes him, quickly causing him to die. Willard is again filled with darkness and prepares to descend, but this time loss and regret are what have filled him with that darkness.
THANK YOU, i was wondering what the heck happened! This was extremely confusing.
My husband loves doing this to me. It is his biggest turn on and, like the uke, I'm happy as hell to let him. This is such a rare fetish in yaoi. Not that facials don't happen, but they are often portrayed as accidental and not an actual fetish that someone looks forward to. I also liked that the seme was not portrayed as a sadistic ass who would cum on his partner's face as a form of humiliation. Porn (A/Vs) does this a lot. When two people enjoy sharing this experience together, there is nothing bad or off-putting about it. And that is precisely how it was portrayed here. That makes me happy!
This really had such "long term series" potential and it felt like it ended in the middle. It was such a sweet story and yet it was so unbearably short. I would have liked to have seen the ex's reasons for blackmailing him. I mean, I grasp that he was obsessed with him, but it felt like the ex could have been a faceless character and the impact would have been the same. Which means, there is a spin off of his story in the works... I hope. Although I wasn't impressed with his actions, I am curious to know more and try to understand why he acted that way.
I love that you gave such a detailed yet precise summary of me screaming "my thoughts exactly!" at my phone. School the children please because although those flaws weren't enough to ruin the story for me they were kinda blatant...some of us fujoshi are sticklers for the details authors! Anyway, new follower here. I'm in the Midwest USA. Let's be BL buds. Ttfn!
I have to have a good reason to dislike a character and a few pages of asshole behaviour just wasn't enough to make me hate the ex. There is always a reason why people, or characters, do what they do. I need those details for characters with a face! Does he do this to everyone and if not, what made Chiaki so special? I get the feeling that if I understood why he did this to Chiaki, I might like the ex. He also gave up really easily. That isn't a psycho stalker type. That is a desperately in love but desperately awkward type. And, damn, if I don't just love that type! They make me want to pop them in the head, give them a hug and show them how to do it right. LOL
I'd love to be BL buds!
I was also thinking there had to be more behind the ex and Chiaki story! They hinted at it and then refused to give up the goods! What a letdown!! What's with the ex saying that Chiaki was violent as well and then that cigarette burn teaser and then?...... nothing! Come on!!! You slutty tease you! Lol! I was so bent. Just finished "Small Fetish" from your reading now or want to read list and it's adorable. It's incomplete and another story that I can easily give 4 stars depending on how much "raunch" (I made it up I think) they can work into the story; so far it's starting out pretty good. The characters are engaging and that's always a plus for me.
Sorry for the late reply. You sound like a yaoi connoisseur like me! I'll have to read or reread Small Fetish before I can give my two cents, but I look forward to it.
