Review: I've read some of this author's stuff before. She's a pretty strong story teller...

So, this is a cop one. Funny how I don't like the real thing, but the fictional ones...Man, almost as much as gangsters. But only if they break the rules every which way.

Well, actually, these guys are more like special ops. or PIs.

The first two chapters focus on the 'present' while the next three (+ extra) are a long flashback on Yamato's experiences before he joins his current super-secret-special team. He's on some other sort of special ops. team, and he sleeps with the boss. Sort of on accident....? Either way, it's made clear from the beginning that Bad Things are going to happen. (Considering the opening scene is a graveyard...)

Yamato's cuter as a younger guy in the flashback. His hair's short. It's cute. But he's kind of a Stupid Stoic, if you know what I mean.

The manga-ka has a bit of an issue with the more intimate factors of anatomy, which can be a bit annoying....

Also, if you're a man: sleeping with a man does not equal Not Gay. At the very least, you're bisexual. Does "bi" not exist in Japan, or are they just in denial?
