NYXIE's manga / #Hostage(2)

This manga was definitely one of the best yaoi I've read! The story, despite the sometimes excessively dramatic gesture was deep and the romance didn't feel rushed or forced at all. I really hated the kashiwa brothers-both of them!!!- & generally the characters were well made. I personally really liked the ending. The awkwardness that is felt when you think your relationship cannot be saved no matter how much you love each other was portrayed in a very natural manner. And the rape theme... Well, to be honest, I sometimes like tape themes in yaoi, since they're not exactly "rape" most of the time, but this was very serious- the rape scenes despite being not too graphic, made me sick to my stomach and I felt the true terror of such history for the victim. All in all, I really loved this manga very much. Already read it trice, & I will probably read it again any time I feel like I need some sweet drama:)

Clarifies Touji's odd behaviors by revealing his background. Also presents a lot of progress in their relationship. Great work~
