I really thought it was great. I didn't see how the yaoi was there until towards later and it's not smut, but it was something different and unique. It's psychological, intriguing, questions God and the Devil, Supernatural.....and it's a sincere pure love that Unrobes the priest. It's a very interesting story that tragedy leads to love. Dont want to give too many spoilers! Strength of mind, will, strength of faith, strength of love.... they can be bad or good, couldn't they?
It's a SEXY, mystery and fun story, and smut is necessary to the demons plot. It isn't smut for smut sake (shota-ish, tentacles, demon exorcist using sex)THERE'S ACTUALLY A GOOD STORY that needs it to make it into a really good, steamy and explicit manga that was hot. Want more!!
UPDATEYay! A spin off sequel, explains characters backgrounds too. It's not long enough for this list, so link is http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/passage_from_servant_boy/
It's so hard to categorize this one; such an interesting story, about man who tries to kill himself, Mic, and the Buddhist temple caretaker finds him- Neo, and brings him to stay inside the temple. Mic has amnesia- and only a kids bag, money and a "Mic" name tag. Story that questions so much- life,memory, could you love a possible murderer, locking your heart so you can't feel pain,-questions the world itself.
And the answers it gives, I never saw coming. Worth reading.
Such a great realistic-ish story about a straight priest and the young boy who he's looked out for 10 years. Suddenly, now 17, the always straight young boy, realizes he wants the Priest who's looked after him. It's a great, open-minded, non-cliched story, about a tsundere priest and a straightforward boy who have to learn what they really want and how to get and keep it. Who's the seme might be questionable, lol, but It's cute, sweet, dramatic, and a good read.
I loved this series. I thought it was fun, had shounen action and yaoi wording and love. It was great.
There are some great psychological aspects to this manga, with the conman bartender and the borderline sociopath business owner, who cant empathize... and it's also a great story and plot. Great manga
I was so surprised by this manga. It's completely plot driven, and also leaves much to interpretation. It's a good story, surprising at how realistic a yakuza relationship could be, and it drew me in completely.
Note- I'm adding it before it's completed, but even so far, this is a very interesting story about a man who is desperate to pay off debts left to him, and becomes a gay port actor, even though he's straight. Incredibly sexy scenes, great art and story building, distinctive characters, and a feeling of reality in how he enters that world, and how a straight guy would truly think, wonder and act. Very unique.
A soul string that will attach itself to you before you even realize it. maybe one of top 10 mangas of all time. To try to explain, I would disgrace it. Because the true ugliness that exists in our world, absolutely overflowing with so many emotions yet not an ounce of romance, sexy to the point of losing yourself, and real to the point of losing a piece of your mind because you will never forget you read this manga...can't be explained.
And I don't write reviews like this...almost ever.
