Be Aware: Read from left-to-Right.

This is an American manga where the 2 mangakas decided to tackle Yaoi in middle of the French revolution. Thier execution is great and I would have to give them credits for their efforts.

Now, We Have Alian + Christophe who are introduced as the younger version of themselves , talking about their dreams and aspiration laying on the grass and looking into the sky as a metaphor that maybe the sky will answer them and grant them their wishes.
Howver, things do not proceed as planned. 7 years later, an encounter between the 2 is destined to make both their dreams shattered and would rattle their lives forever.
This manga has a rich of supply of characters who have the charm of a storyline and the involvement with the main story. Everything escalates till we reach the moment where the Bastille had been seized and we end with 2 pages featuring our 2 main characters in their younger version of themselves talking about that special thing called love.

This story is a solid read, but it falls short for a number of reasons including, the fast paced of the event if you are going to write different chapters , there is no point of making each chapter 10 pages long, but I thank them for not dragging the story unnecessarily though.
2nd, as a story, which deem itself to be historic, it would be interesting to see how the revolution was projected throughout the story or at least how would the turmoil would have an effect of the lifestyle of those hardcore party-goers countesses rather than to be projected in the final 3 pages of the final chapter.

Nevertheless, the art style is amazing and very articulate and as a story, they managed to keep me intrigued from the beginning till the end.

Absolutely amazing know what i m so into historical stuff especially yaois it's interesting and actually deserves full star seme wanted revenge for his mother death and uke become priest indulge in God but more interesting both are opposite seme don't believe in God while uke do seme's one line i love most is " if these are hell's flames then i'd gladly burn with you forever chirsterpher" they end up together i have been cryin how it's gonna end but even against going god since it's france of old time church matters but those whose loved one taken by them means nothing to them whether they goes to hell or heaven cuz heaven is only place we make ourselves not going going after life.

A great manga. It was an interesting story. The scanlations were also clear and readable.

I can't decide what is worse - the plot or the art.
Anyway, a story of a priest abd a guy who wants to avenge his mom's death.

Really cute. Two boys grow up together and fall in love, but one is destined for the clergy so hides his love deep inside. The meet up years later when one is hired to work as a tutor and the other to get him in a compromising position for the benefit of another. They both get separated and fight to get back to one another. Once reunited they board a ship for the new world and a new start. I wish we had got a chance to see it.

A gothic tale of forbidden love in revolution era France. Christophe wants nothing more than to be a simple country priest. When he refuses to sleep with a corrupt Cardinal, he's forced to work in the same manor as the man who almost tempted him away from the cloth when they were younger. Alain was Christophe's true love, but Christophe chose to join the priesthood rather than be with him. Alain bitterly remembers Christophe's rejection. He accepts the Cardinal's assignment: destroy Christophe's career with a scandal. Will his cruel conviction hold once Alain learns how devastated Christophe was to have to deny his feelings for him?

Short and okaish story... I don't enjoy black and white mangas much, but good story is always my priority over color. This was small but it needed a little more detailing on few things which made the story lack of something.

Quite a decent story. The art could be better. Their eyes are freakishly big.
