I've been waiting so long for this. I first stumbled upon a partial fan translation a few years back and have been going crazy trying to find more. I was over the moon when I saw that it was getting an official English translation and bought it the second it went up on Akadot.
The first volume has a lot of background and character establishment. Not a whole lot happens in the first volume but we do learn a lot about the personalities of our main characters Yuto and Dick (and really, I wish he had a different name). I can't wait for the next volume!
The illustrations are incredible. It is absolutely beautiful.
The manga is set in a prison so violence is inevitable. This is a little bit like a yaoi manga version of HBO's Oz. I'm not sure just how plausible the cons background stories are but hey, if you're looking for hyper realism why are you reading yaoi manga?
I'm a huge Saki Aida fan and I am hoping beyond hope that they will choose to translate the novel as well.
If you like sunshine and puppies then you probably shouldn't pick up a book that takes place in a prison but if you enjoy a bit of violence and some beautiful art, give this a try!

I have enjoyed reading it- so far it is an introduction and eliminating some characters from the MC suspicious people list...

I'd like to warn people who are getting into this manga without doing their reseach. I've read all 4 volumes and this manga has an open ending. The reason for it is because it covers only the first volume of the original novel. And the novel has 3 volumes (at least when it comes to the main story). Sooo, yeah. If you want to know what happens next, you'll have to pick up the original novel. I don't know if they are planning to adapt the remaining volumes into manga or not, but currently it is what it is.
About the manga itself. I enjoyed my time with it overall. It's not perfect and there is a lot to nitpick, but the art is amazing and I really liked the characters and the moments of sweetness they had together. I might actually pick up the original novel because I really want to see them end up together for real this time.

This was an interesting investigative/prison story. The concept was original, clever and well executed.
However, it has A LOT of triggers - violence, racism, transphobia, threats of rape, mis-gendering.
It get that it's a prison and there's a lot going on, with some complex gang turf war stuff happening in the background, but a lot of things felt like gratuitous violence just for the sake of it. (This was especially true of later volumes)
So, while I found the crime aspect interesting, the plot wavered into pointless prison politics at times, even sometimes drifting into lectures about the American prison system.
I also found it strange that there's a bonus story at the end, which is apparently taken directly from the original source light novel. I'm not sure why this choice was made, but it didn't really add anything to what was included in the manga version, IMO.

It’s probably not an actual 5 but I just read a shit manga before this and I feel like rounding up 🤷♂️😅 I wasn’t expecting it to be this good! An intriguing plot, some decent characters, and it’s taking time to build it all properly without feeling too slow, so I’m interested to see where it goes.

Ähhh, nein.
Nein. Nein. Nein. Nein. Nein.
Ganz so schlimm war's doch nicht, aber schlimm genug. Konfuser Erzählstil, seltsame Story, Knastklischees ohne Ende. Ugh. Nichts wirklich Frisches oder Packendes.
Der Zeichenstil war ganz in Ordnung.

Ach, więc w zasadzie nie ma różnicy pomiędzy zakładem karnym o zaostrzonym rygorze a letnim obozem dla młodzieży? Nie mogłem się doczekać, kiedy bohaterowie zaczną zaplatać sobie warkocze i plotkować o gwiazdach seriali.

Yuto Lennix è finito in carcere con un'accusa infamante: agente della DEA di 28 anni, il ragazzo è stato infatti accusato di aver ucciso il suo collega, omicidio per cui lui si è sempre dichiarato innocente. Una speranza per ottenere in anticipo la sua libertà gli arriva dai tizi dell'FBI: accettare una missione sotto copertura nel carcere californiao di Schelger per scoprire la vera identità di "Corvus", capo di un'organizzazione terroristica. In caso di successo, Yuto sarà libero, altrimenti dovrà scontare i suoi 15 anni...e se per caso dovesse rimetterci la pelle, beh, questi sono problemi suoi.
Questo primo volume è sostanzialmente una lunga introduzione, ma devo ammettere che la storia mi ha catturato fin da subito. Sono due gli aspetti che ho apprezzato maggiormente. In primo luogo, vengono delineati senza troppi sentimentalismi le dinamiche e i rapporti di forza all'interno del penitenziario, un luogo in cui episodi di violenza e stupri sono all'ordine del giorno, in cui i più deboli diventanno vittime senza poter contare sull'aiuto delle guardie (che, anzi, se ne lavano le mani e non vogliono casini), in cui l'odio razziale è una costante. Insomma, una polveriera pronta ad esplodere, tanto più che la tensione tra chicano e neri è alle stelle. Yuto viene cataputato in questo ambiente da incubo e finisce per inimicarsi subito delle persone pericolose. Unica protezione, la reputazione del suo compagno di cella.
E questo è proprio il secondo elemento che mi ha catturato il mio interesse, ovvero il rapporto che si inizia a creare tra Yuto e Dick Burnford. Biondo, occhi azzurri e bellissimo, Dick è un personaggio abbastanza mistorioso, dall'apparenza fredda e distaccata. Ancora non si sa per quale motivo è finito in carcere, ma sta di fatto che è riuscito a guadagnarsi "il rispetto" anche dei detenuti più influenti e pericolosi. Dick sa benissimo come funzionano le cose dentro al penitenziario e cerca subito di avvertire Yuto e, come detto, la sua presenza si rivela fondamentale, anche perché il nostro Yuto ogni non sembra essere ben consapevole delle conseguenze di certe sue azioni. Diciamo che dovrebbe imparare ad essere più circospetto e a tenere sotto controllo le sue emozioni, anche se per lui è difficile accettare di dover passare degli anni in un posto simile per un crimine che non ha mai commesso. Speriamo che non si faccia prendere troppo la mano nella sua indagine. Per ora Dick sembra tenere Yuto a distanza, con il secondo che vorrebbe avvicinarsi di più, saperne di più, scalfire quell'apparenza fredda. Vedremo se, come e quando le distanze verranno meno e cosa è veramente accaduto nel passato del biondo.Dopotutto, entrambi custodiscono dei segreti che rischiano di renderli le vittime perfette per tutti i pervertiti della prigione (un poliziotto e un omosessuale).
Al fianco di Dick e Yuto si muove la piccola cricca di amici che il nostro povero agente si è fatto una volta entrato in carcere: il giovane Matthew, finito in un posto simile per aver partecipato a una rapina finita male; Micky, il tizio in grado di farti avere tutto quello che ti serve dietro compenso; Nathan, uomo gentile ingiustamente accusato (o così dice lui) dell'omicidio della madre, che mette a disposizione le sue conoscenze legali a favore dei detenuti che ne hanno bisogno o che non hanno mai potuto permettersi un vero avvocato. E poi ci sono i pezzi grossi, i capi delle varie gang. Per ora li abbiamo solo intravisti o sentiti nominare, ma immagino che inizieranno a giocare molto presto un ruolo fondamentale nella vicenda.
Bene, per essere un primo volume sono soddisfatta. Ora voglio vedere cosa succederà nei prossimi, se l'indagine di Yuto andrà a buon fine, se verrà fatto fuori qualcun'altro (poco ma sicuro), e come evolverà il rapporto tra i due compagni di cella. Punto in più anche per lo stile dei disegni, che ho apprezzato molto.

May 23, 2025Why I read it: It seemed like a serious story.
Thoughts: IT WAS TOO SERIOUS OF A STORY. I understand this is based on a novel (or a short series of novels), and the topics are perfect for that. I also appreciate that it doesn't really pull any punches, and it doesn't somehow romanticise the prison experience the way the yakuza/mafia are often romanticised. Mind you, I like those romanticised crime stories a lot, but I don't know that you can deal with like, neo-nazis and prison rape in the same breath as your protagonist going all gooey over their romantic interest. Here, the tone remained consistenly grim throughout.
But for a first manga volume, this had way too much exposition, and it just felt like the focus of the story was to talk about the American prison system (including race, class, and gender tensions) rather than delivering the actual story, which would have been plenty interesting on its own! The reveal about what Yuto's character is doing in Schelger Prison (he's there to try and identify a dangerous cult leader who has been ordering terror attacks that get carried out on the outside; Yuto's own freedom hangs in the balance) is about a third of the way through this volume, and much of the remaining two thirds is still spent on talking about the rivalry between the Chicano and Black gangs in the prison, and Yuto ruling out potential suspects feels like an afterthought until very close to the end of the volume.
I'm sure this would work much better in prose, but as manga...I'm not sold on it. Also, the hot guys all just look alike? Yuto is just Dick with black hair, Mickey is Yuto with wavy hair, and Nathan is just Dick but he brushes his hair differently. Like, the artist is great, which is something I can tell based on how she drew characters outside of the main cast (a number of Black men, Latino men, white men, and even a group of trans women!) with a lot of skill and variety, but those four characters just look like the same guy but with different wigs on.
Also, the typeface the publisher chose for the back cover is terrible. One character is named DICK BURNFORD but because of the serifs and the spacing between letters it reads as DICK BUMFORD and I thought the author was just taking the piss. It was already painful to read a BL manga with a character named Dick, but also Bumford? Anyway, it's not Bumford.
Finally, I did google who the real cult leader guy was, and I can't even say I'm surprised. It kinda had to be him, I guess.
Would I read more: NO! This was depressing enough.
Would I reread it: No

Deadlock ist eine weitere Manga Reihe die ich im Boyslove Bereich sehr empfehlen kann. Der Manga ist einer der wenigen yaois wo es nicht in Orgien oder 18+ Inhalten endet und somit auch etwas für die jüngere Fraktion geeignet ist. Bisher sind von dem Band drei Bände erschienen und im November folgt der vierte Band weswegen ich die ersten drei noch einmal gelesen habe. Schon damals habe ich Spaß am Lesen des Mangas gefunden da er durch sein Gefängnis-Setting und den doch sehr attraktiven Charakteren sowie dem guten Zeichenstil doch hervorsticht.
In diesem Manga geht es um den jungen Drogenfahnder Yuto der wegen Mordes verklagt und in ein Gefängnis mit Grenzwertigen Regeln gesteckt wird. Dabei ist sein Zellengenosse Dick ein eher kühler verschlossener Inhaftierter. Yuto soll für das FBI den Boss einer Terroristengruppe ausfindig machen. Schnell merkt er allerdings, dass dies nicht so leicht ist.
Die Idee ist sehr gut und die Charaktere haben, so klein sie auch sein mögen, eine eigene Geschichte und einen gut durchdachten Hintergrund. Ab und zu störten mich während dem Lesen jedoch die widersprüchlichen Gefühle und Handlungen die für mich nicht immer verständlich waren. Der Zeichenstil untermalte häufig die Gefühle und stellte das Umfeld gut dar. Der Mangaka hat hier gute Arbeit geleistet und für das Setting und die Idee hatte er den passenden Zeichenstil.
Yuto hat sich meiner Meinung nach ab und zu einfach zu stark als Polizist oder Ermittler zu erkennen gegeben. Ich denke, das hätte man genauso etwas weniger auffällig machen können. Gleichzeitig entwickelte er aber die passende Haut um in dem Gefängnis zu überleben. Sein Beschützerinstinkt war verständlich und man konnte dem Handeln gut folgen ohne dass es sinnlose Handlungen waren.
Dick ist für mich ein Mysterium. Auf der einen Seite ist er fürsorglich und versucht Yuto zu helfen wenn er kann und zur Stelle ist, auf der anderen Seite ist er kalt und abweisend. Bisher kann ich den zweiten Protagonisten noch nicht genau einschätzen aber er kommt mir sehr verdächtig vor wie er von den meisten gemieden wird und den Respekt von vielen hat. Weiterhin wundern mich seine medizinischen Kenntnisse weswegen ich in Band zwei auf die Lösung einer offener Fragen hoffe.
Insgesamt erhält dieser Mangaband von mir drei von fünf Sternen da ich nicht jede Handlung der Protagonisten nachvollziehen konnte und ein paar Hintergrundinfos fehlen die eventuell in einem Roman durchgekommen wären. Das Mangateam hat sich jedoch sicherlich etwas dabei gedacht.

4.5⭐
Me ha FASCINADO. Si no le pongo las cinco es porque no hay interacciones chulas entre los protas. Es el primero y se acaban de conocer, y la verdad es que la trama es más compleja de lo que parecía asi que no ha habido mucho tiempo para el romance. Espero que en los siguientes si.
Me ha hecho mucha gracia lo guapísimos que son todos los protas, y lo feos que son los extras y los malos jajsjsjajsj.
Ha sido como volver a Alabaster Penitentiary. Mismas vibes. Me encanta.
Info para la futura Meri:
Mathew es el jovencito rubio que parece súper inocente, condenado a dos años solo por intento de hurto que terminó con agresión a un anciano. Mickey es el que trafica con cosas, lleva cinco años en la cárcel por robar un banco y se parece un poco al prota. Nathan es el rubio majo, está ahí por matar a su madre pero él dice que es inocente. Se lleva muy bien con Dick.
Dick es el rubio de pelo largo, el otro prota. No se sabe por qué está ahí, pero es muy fuerte. Y luego está el prota, al que acusan de haber matado a su compañero de la DEA. Le dicen que si encuentra al líder de una organización terrorista (que da las órdenes desde la cárcel porque está ahí) lo dejaran libre, así que eso esta intentando.
Este tomo acaba cuando uno de los sospechosos mata a la que era su amante.

Deadlock is a four volume series where Yuto Lennix was falsely accused of murder, but will be given a shorter sentence if he figures out who the cult leader is. So, he is sent to Schelger Prison which is a prison in California. He is given 12 guys to look at based on the information the FBI were able to obtain. There is a lot of talk about how the guys at the prison deal with their urges since there are no women around, and there is at least one person so far that has shown an interest in Yuto. I do wonder how far they will go with that. The talk about it did die off some in the second half of the volume, but it will most likely come back in another volume.
This was an interesting volume. The premise is promising, but I’m not really sure how it is going to end up. I am interested in finding out how Yuto will go about looking into these 12 guys, but I am a little unsure how I feel about any sexual assaults that I could see happening in future volumes. It is four volumes, so there might not be too much about it, but as of the first volume, we had our first death. I also feel like something is going to happen to Matthew soon, as he is around Yuto, but we do not see much of him near the end of the volume. I will continue with this series, but I am not sure how quickly I will pick up the next volume.

Der Manga hat mich schon lange interessiert, da ich das Thema Gefängnis in Mangas meist gut umgesetzt finde. Ich mag dieses Raue und die Hierarchien.
Das ganze war recht spannend, aber leider endet es sehr, sehr offen. Man merkt dem Manga an, dass die Handlung auf mehrere Bände angelegt ist. Allerdings mag ich es immer nicht so, wenn es einfach mittendrin aufhört.
Ansonsten gefiel mir die Handlung um den ehemaligen Polizisten, der unschuldig im Knast sitzt und dort einen geheimen Auftrag hat, sehr. Die Charaktere finde ich auch sehr interessant und sie sind angenehm individuell.
Ich möchte sehr gern wissen wie es weitergeht und werde mal schauen wo ich den nächsten Band herbekommen.

Da amante di crime e polizieschi mi sono buttata su questo volume. Non sono mai stata dentro il carcere ma l'ambientazione sembra ben curata in molti dettagli, la trama è ancora all'inizio quindi non ho modo di valutarla, ma il tutto procede a passi giusti quindi mi slancio su un cinque stelle. Anche perché il comparto grafico merita eccome ;)
E se Ve lo state chiedendo, no non ci sono scene di sesso, non per adesso.

Doncs m'ha sorprès moltíssim aquest primer volum perquè no tenia gaire fe en el gènere policíac, la veritat ^^' crec que m'ha agradat perquè per ara té més protagonisme descobrir la història de cada personatge i com es desenvolupa a la presó que no pas la trama d'investigació o de política interna de bandes. Final amb un cliffhanger criminal (no pun intended xD), sort que no cal esperar per al segon que arribarà carregat d'acció!

I like a good prison story but I get a lot of Under Grand Hotel vibes, save for the extreme violence and the brutal rapes (so far?) from this one. Maybe it changes, maybe it won't. It's necessarily not a bad thing if it won't, it's just that UGH is one of my favorite BL manga. That art though, is gorgeous.

This is definitely an 18+ book with some trigger warnings. The first book starts off pretty slow but start pick up in the second book. And don’t worry the scraggly beard eventually bites the dust. This book has great representation of many different ethnicities, mixed ethnic families, and openly gay characters.

J’ai été, dans un premier temps, sous le charme des dessins. La dessinatrice a un très bon coup de crayon. J’ai adoré le design mature des personnages, assez éloigné des standards que je vois souvent passer dans le genre. Pareil pour le scénario où on est embarqué dans le milieu carcéral sombre et forcément dangereux.
Le tome 1 qui introduit efficacement les personnages : héros et secondaires. L’intrigue nous pousse à chercher avec Yûto qui est le mystérieux gars qu’il doit absolument retrouver pour prétendre à sa liberté après sa condamnation pour un crime qui n’a pas commis.
J’ai bien aimé ce début prometteur dans une série Boy’s love qui change un peu de d’habitude et plante doucement le décor d’un univers qui ne fera pas de cadeau à nos protagonistes. J’ai aussi apprécié la fin qui met un extrait du roman dont est tiré ce manga et nous montre un passage du livre qui a été retiré de cette adaptation. Curieuse pour la suite.

Se me ha hecho corto el primero. Cuando los dos personajes empiezan a acercarse más PUM de acaba y encima con bombazo.
Me gusta el tema cárcel y demás. Me recuerda a alguna serie de este estilo y no había leído nada así asique por ahora me gusta y tengo ganas de más.
Saber que son 4 me da miedo porque seguro que se me va a hacer corto el viaje 🥺

Początek jest boski! Uwielbiam takie klimaty. Jak na pierwszą część serii jest naprawdę w porządku 💋 Coś jednak w głowie mówi mi, że nie mogę dać tej mandze 5 gwiazdek 😭 Przepraszam, ale może za wiele wymagam!!

Wuah!! Was für ein böser Manga. Voll das Suchtpotenzial! Ich liebe die zwei Hauptcharas, ahne aber böses... 😭😱
Finds sehr cool dass es ein extra Kapitel aus dem Roman gibt. 🥰

This was on my wish list for so long, so glad I bought it. The story is actual really well told and deep. The art is spot on and the two main characters definitely grab your attention.
