I started scanning this doujinshi something like a half a year ago and for some reason I did it when I was really sick (guess I wanted to make a use of an extra free time at home ^_^;). Anyway, it didn't work, because I had to stop in the middle and lie down and never finished the thing.
Until now. ^^
The book is Basara doujinshi, the second part of a serious story by Ciao Baby.
You can find the first part on Aarinfanasy,
here (you need to be registered to use the forum).
In short: Kojuurou gets wounded and loses his memory (yes, it's the good old amnesia story ^^;).
The plot is quite simple, but rich in nuances, a lot's going on psychological level, with a dense narration, Kojuurou's inner thoughts it seems rather like a story to read.
But there's enough to look at too - the book is drawn nicely, with a few really moving moments.
Quite original is narration in this book - scenes from the real world are intertwined with surreal sequences, a recurring dream or projection of Kojuurou's (?) subonsciousness. In this poetic vision we see Kojuurou with little, few years old Masamune, in a lake overgrown with water lilies. When Masamune disappears under water, Kojuurou goes after him, sunking deeper and deeper. He'll have to get to the very bottom and look deep inside himself before he finds what he's lost.
Amnesia is an old trick, but it was played out here quite well. One of the things I enjoyed the most in this story was the portrait of Masamune, frustrated and desperate, as if with Kojuurou's memories of their past he lost a part of himself.
Surprisingly serious and subtle story from an author I usually associated with a lighter repertoire.
(but don't worry, we still get a nice love scene at the end of the book :3)
