I've never read a yaoi with so much action and adventure. SO MUCH ACTION AND ADVENTURE I had a hard time following it at times. It's pretty simple, in theory. Kyo is the previous leader of a ruthless group known as Madness. Izaya is a young priest who takes care of him when Kyo is in jail. That bit with their relationship is greap. But when an old enemy... friend... enemy-friend? shows up, the action heats up. And I think something must have gotten lost in translation somewhere, but I had a hard time following the story for all the action. Emotions get turned up to the maximum, old memories rise to the surface, and true feelings come out. But mostly people try to stab each other. A whole lot. And the things they think and say are pretty short and badly worded. I adore exclamation points, don't get me wrong. But every sentence ends in one!
So, yeah, I had a little trouble following the story. I definitely got the emotions and the basics. But I didn't always understand why a certain character was doing what he was doing. Ah well. It was a fine read, especially if you're looking for lots and lots of fight secquences. And lots of action!
