Shuichi might misunderstand, but the reader is privy to more. And all signs point to fidelity.
Okay, then. Reading on.

I liked this volume, the fact that underneath all the crazy, there's actually a very touching romance there. I know that this manga isn't to be taken seriously, but when we get these small glimpses of the characters' real feelings, they shine even more brightly!
Didn't care for the bonus story, though.

dropped at around 40%. as a famous Nintendo man Reggie once said, “If it’s not fun, why bother.”

I still hate Ayaka. Take a hint girl!
Also, Taki Aizawa was introduced and I remembered what he does to Shuichi and um . . . I recall not liking how it was handled. Honestly, this is a comedy manga, it shouldn't be trying to cover any of the series topics it does, but I'll talk more about them when they come up.

i got the entire series for 27 bucks at half price books last month, and finally got around to finishing it up. my advice for anyone new at this series is to not read the author comments. she comes off as hating this series, and being a mangka. hates to draw?! really?! boy did you pick the wrong profession. i could understand that the joy of something goes away when you're stuck doing it for money, but at least pretend to enjoy it. by the end, no one looks like they did at the beginning, and not in a good way. the artwork gets really shoddy by the end. with 40+ assistants, you would think that this would not happen. then if you keep reading her comments, you find out that she dislikes reading manga and anime, um what field do you think you entered here? the circus? but what really took the cake was every other blurb was talking about how she couldn't believe it was lasting this long. it made it feel like this was absolute torture. quite frankly, it ruined the mood for me, and even after i started skipping her depressing comments, it felt like the story suffered. i still enjoyed the series, but it really could have been better. it was ridiculous and dark, but i wish that it had gone one way or the other.

Wasn't so keen on this 3rd volume. Yuki is cold, complicated and unlikeable and Shuichi is more idiotic than usual.
Shuichi moves in with Yuki but the two are still hiding their relationship. Bad Luck get on a quiz show and offer to forfeit the money in order to play live on air. Shuichi shows us just how brainless he is. We've got Yuki's fiancée jealous of Shuichi and of course all the rock star rivalries in the back ground.
A highly overrated series for which you have to suspend your disbelief far more than I'm happy with. Artwork isn't bad, but all the characters look very similar and it becomes quite confusing.
There's an appalling bonus story in this one called Pretty Dynamite in which an 18 year old tutor falls for his mature 11 year old student. Unfunny and actually somewhat offensive.

With the new rival for Eiri's love in Shuichi's life, he is momentarily depressed. Claiming Eiri as his own while in the middle of a concert, Ayaka later declares that Shuichi is fit to fight over Eiri's love and the war is on!
Later, Bad Luck is set to cast on a live Game Show and Shuichi proposes that if Bad Luck wins, instead of the 1,000,000 yen as a prize they are allowed to show off their band to the viewers, and the Director accepts! But to grasp the golden opportunity Hiro and Shuichi are going to have to use their heads... has Bad Luck used up all their good luck?

For whatever reason the writer decided to add more unnecessary drama instead of developing her main characters and story.
The fact that traumatic events aren't a big deal in this story and is forced into the story out of nowhere are EVERYTHING wrong with this current rivalry between ASK and Bad Luck.
I have a feeling this manga would have been written better if it wasn't a BL romance.

Yaoi or boy-on-boy love manga. It was the first and only series of that genre that I have read, and was utterly hilarious. It had great funny, sentimental, and sad moments. A lot of fun to read, and quite unpredictable. The art was a little lacking, the only reason for 3 stars instead of 5.

Too old for it. Considering it as one of the worst yaoi ever read. Yes too old for it. Comedy style is not for me. Still continuing to read it, because it is in Czech.

Again, the constant insistence that the two guys who are in love and having sex are not gay is a glaring, distracting, and offensive diversion from what is otherwise a cute and kitchy love story

August 5, 2011Started out cute and funny enough, but somewhere in the middle of this series it gets waaaay to wacky and convoluted in the bad way.

Looks like the usual with this one. With hilarious moments and more. This okay but interesting.
