Reviewer: Kimi-Chan

Filled with Tateno's signature urban setting filled with pointy faced , well built bishounen, we get taken for a ride through the entertainment world's darker sides. This is definitely one of Tateno's grittier pieces, filled with nakedly selfish motivations, deep psychological scars, and even dealing with suicide. It is far from a tragedy however, as Tateno's men emerge from their darkened pasts and move forward though even that is fraught with anxiety and risk. It is just as well then that is only volume one, because if it all wrapped up neat and tidy with a happy ever after already, the story would be done and we would not be privy to more yet to come. It does end in a logical place, albeit open to continuation, so one is not left hanging about wondering quite what is going on. It is rated with an advisory that it is for ages 18+, and with the sexual situations, references to drug use and suicide, is well considered. It has a fairly meaty plot that is bound to satisfy mature readers. This is of a slice of life BL drama set in the entertainment world's underbelly, giving much more of a feel for reality than many run of the mill titles in similar settings, so don't approach this if seeking a mere light read. Taking the time to read it read carefully through and savour the emotional undercurrents, and you'll walk away satisfied from a full meal.
