I really don't know why the artstyle is so wacky in the first few chapters but if you just get through the first 5-6 then it really changes for the better! Embracing love, especially if we take into consideration that it was written and illustrated back in 1999-2009, is a very well-written story, not perfect but very enjoyable! The main characters (Iwaki and Katou) really draw you in with their personalities and you just can't put the story down. Of course, you'll have to keep in mind that this is a yaoi so many explicit scenes are included.

En este tomo he sento muchas cosas buenas, y malas, por culpa de sensei y su secuela que no existe. Pero es que... En fin que adoro este manga y a Kato e Iwaki pero Alive sigue sin existir y mejor así.

És que en aquest volum directament no hi ha trama, és un refregit del que hem vist fins ara (gelosia, inseguretat, possessió, blablabla). Que tenen una química brutal i els dibuixos són xulíssims, però no avança enlloc.

Miyasaka e Onozuka fanno una visita al set del film creando un po' di tensione tra Iwaki e Katou visto che il primo ha una cotta per Iwaki. Riusciranno a far rinsavire il ragazzo folle d'amore? Ma non è solo da Miyasaka che devono guardarsi, ma anche da Asano che è stato scelto per sostituire Yoshizumi, feritosi durante l'incendio. Per Iwaki e Katou non è facile abbandonare il collega che è diventato un caro amico e che ha subito più di tutti le conseguenze di quell'incidente. E Asano, bravo ma ribelle, è difficile da integrare nel film. Ci vorrà una buona dose anche di professionalità per collaborare... Ma Iwaki e la sua gentilezza nei confronti di tutti non saranno troppo? Il finale è terribile per i momenti che sono presentati e ti lascia sconvolto che temi il peggio e dobbiamo aspettare che esca il successivo volume! E la mia storia extra che risolleva il morale dove è T_T?! Ne ho sentito la mancanza tantissimo in questa occasione...

In this volume, Iwaki san was struggling with the replacement of a fellow co-actor. He felt hurt to see his friend being replaced so nonchalantly after the sacrifice he had made for the sake of the movie which landed him in the hospital unable to continue with the filming. Needless to say, Iwaki san has once again let his emotion run wild affecting his judgment and professionalism.

Towards the last chapter Katou's love struck obsessed friend, Miyasaka kun has decided to take forceful action to lay with Iwaki san to sate his lust. Things aren't looking too well for Iwaki and for Katou. Would Iwaki san give in to Miyasaka for the sake of Katou's future?


Kyaaaa.... Iwakitty & Katou-puppy <3  Totemo kawaii ne

Repeated review.

Okay, back in the day, I loved this series. Why? Because gay. That’s literally the only reason I loved it, alongside a lot of other yaoi manga. But then, I got older, smarter, and learned some fucked up shit about life, and then, I returned to most of the yaoi manga I once read. And absolutely hated a lot of them.

All of them, that I ended up hating later in life, involved incest, toxic relationships, rape, borderline rape, slavery, underage, and cringe. You decide which of those fits best with this series.
