This one is definitely worth reading if you're into Nakamura Asumiko, Ogawa Chise and Harada-sensei's works, especially the dark and twisted ones.
Anyway, I really still can't believe this is a debut from Kuraka-sensei. Can't wait to see the next BL work from this mangaka.
To be honest, Ito-san's cold gaze really gave me the creeps at first and the way he lavished Kyousuke-kun with money and brutally killed Kyousuke-kun's clients really chilled me to the bone. I thought this guy must be a psycho or sadist that loves mutilating people he loves or what. Turned out he isn't. :)
And guess what, I found myself crying while reading and even cheering for their love as I was prepared myself too for tragic ending. The story is so well written and really intense that I was sooo completely drawn into its world and even startled a bit at the end of the book because I didn't realized I've already reached the last chapter, lol.

Sí, un manga lo suficientemente retorcido y cruel como para sorprenderme a mí, que ha leído cientos de mangas yaoi.
La trama, el arte, los giros de la trama, la complejidad de ambos protagonistas, la sensualidad... ¡AHHH! reseñar yaoi nunca se me da bien y menos cuando uno me gusta tanto como me gustó este. Simplemente me fascinó.

I don't know what to make of this book. I liked the general idea a lot, but it was pretty underwhelming

A shocking and fascinating piece of work that was an emotional roller coaster, so much so that trying to explain it, I do not know where to begin.I am worried that I may not be able to come across another piece of work that will surpass this in my whole life.
It is a story of “recreation of love” about a man who was created as a “breathing killing machine” becomes a “human with feelings” by meeting a young boy.
reading this story we, the readers begin to understand the strength of the feeling of love and the enormity of love which cannot be manipulated or erased by anybody else.
I am sure that all those who read will be touched by the scene at the final stage of break of dawn. I burst into tears and my tears dried out. Being able to recollect this scene made me extremely happy as a reader
but the author, Kuraka-sensei, has a continuing story of the two in the second volume for those greedy readers. However, I should not go on. As to what happens here on in, I would like a lot of people to feel the strength of love depicted in this story with their own eyes.
Kuraka-sensei said that she agonized over the story line. That is obvious. There is no way that a fascinating and moving story as this written meticulously that touches the heart of the readers can be written easily.
I’m so lucky to have come across this work and also appreciate to be able to let my feelings out which allowed me to recover from the emptiness which occurred from being so moved by this story.

Well, realmente no sé muy bien como "reseñar o valorar" este manga; la historia en sí dista de la que leí, pero su nombre se asemeja.
Básicamente I, encuentra su propio yo, su fuerza de voluntad, su amor, en un pequeño gatito negro a punto de morir.
A partir de ahí, empieza a asociar a un niño que rescato (sin quererlo), porque se asemejaba al black cat (y su simbolismo de abandono, sus ojos gigantes e inocentes pidiendo vivir, etc).
Finalmente, este niño (de adolescente) lo nombra Ito-san, nombre que el protagonista decide implementar. Y toma como misión de vida proteger y mimar a este pobre niño con una mala vida.
La historia es cruda, pero es hermoso el final, porque estas dos almas dañadas finalmente encontraron el amor y la paz interna complementándose.

Oscuro, y si encima lees la precuela, ya te parece que has entrado el la boca del lobo.
Ha sido bonito creer que el amor puede cambiar las cosas. Itou y Kyosuke se merecen ser felicísimos T.T
El short Cage, relativamente es meh.

One of my absolute favorite mangas. Mad as hell that I didn't write it! :) Dark love story of an assassin and a young male prostitute.

Cuestionable, por supuesto, como la trama promedio del género, pero no estoy siendo objetiva.

ito-san- 3.75/5
cage- 2/5
the parallel universe epilogue wasn't even necessary. it should be illegal

Este es indescriptible... Va de un prostituto y un cliente que resulta que mata gente.
Una historia... Más buena, más dura, más level.

It was a really moving tale of a dangerous hit man and a jaded prostitute. Like an amped up Pretty Women, but with more penis and a cooler rich guy.
