I've heard about this manga all over the place. When I found out it was a BL title I had to go and pick it up. People tend to either be in love with this series, or completely unimpressed. Honestly, I am sure how I feel about this series, yet. I am impressed with how deep the story seems to be.

Dai is the leader of a gang. He is not a tough kid with a heart of gold, he is a bastard. Jaehee's falling for him is pretty much a seduction into Dai's violent world. Something about the world of Dai fails to feel properly dark to me. The character's reactions are so lighthearted and positive. Dai is shown as so sexy. Jaehee's reactions to Dai being dominant or violent with him tend to be strangely submissive. Based on the first volume, I think this story is going to be very deep and have lots of complications.

The narrative style is rather different. We keep getting these poetic narrations that is not in the voice of any of the characters. There is also focus on the emotions and feelings of the girl who is in love with Jaehee. The world Jaehee comes from tends to dominated with women and his responsibilities to them. His home is full with frilly floral designs. In contrast, Dai's world is filled with men and women are very marginalized.



When I first started reading manga it was hard for me to remember names because they were just random groups of letters to me. I am having that problem again with this manhwa. With names like Seungryul and Woohyuk, it's easy to get a bit confused. That issue aside, I am very glad that Net Comics did not dumb down the book by changing the names.

The series looks to be completed in Korean at 15 volumes. I doubt this series will ever get to having any smut. Most licensors rate a series, not an individual title. The main thing I can say to recommend this title is that it is very different from any other manga, or man-hwa or comics or whatever, that I have.
