I'm not sure how to review this story.
Yaoi manga had been such a hit or miss for me lately.

I like it. It's not great but it's not bad. It's so in between that I would probably forget about it.
It's the story of a man that has a little brother with a rare disease and because of that lives in the family mansion with his caretaker.

It's interesting that the POV is from a dead character and everything start when they are burying his body.

The translation wasn't good, sometimes messing with some terms to make it sound poetic and failing at it, making hard to follow.

All in all the art is very pretty and since it's a fast read.

I really liked the first story. Dark and extremely emotional, at times too intense .

5 cerita(cerita 3&4 merupakan 1 judul)dalam 1 yaoi manga ini semuanya bagus&sentimentil!
yang menjadi favoritku adalah the guardian(a.k.a. bannin)dan show me heaven.
oh my god!benar-benar melankolis & mengharukan!apalagi karakter saibara di the guardian sangat disayangkan digambarkan seperti itu seolah terbuang & yang terlupakan:(

1st story was beautiful. Yaoi.
And the 2nd story was a piece of crap so I didn't finish it.
