I finally get why yaoi is so popular... It is because yaoi mangas make girls look so stupid so of course the reader will want the incredible guy to fell in love with the girly guy! Who of course will be stronger, more intelligent, braver and more interesting than girls in the manga. In this case, Yuiko and the teacher are so annoying. The teacher is so dumb, I wonder why Soubi did not run away from her when he got the chance.But I still couldn't figure it out why Soubi needs Ritsuka. He could fi...

I just cannot see how Loveless' fighter can take the punishment everyday-for he fights daily. Also no one doping anything about the prolonged child abuse suffered by Loveless-come on now! I do not know if I will give this series one more volume or not.

Oh goodness... it's been a while. I owned this series up to book 8 in middle school and read them over and over again so much the binding nearly desintigrated. Might be time for a reread soon, for nostalgia's sake.

TW: adult man kissing a child, child abuse, violence This is a filler issue, I think, for Loveless. It's the introduction of Zero - and definitely more of the child abuse angle that the series seems to just kind roll around in, but it also doesn't really go anywhere. We get more self-sacrificing Soubi. We get more of a bit more backstory, but we don't really GO anywhere. It's an interesting world for sure - the worst thing, by and large, about Loveless, is the fact that it has a relationship bet...

This volume of the manga (or at least the version I read) was translated by a different group to the first two volumes, and I have to say, the quality has gone up a lot. Its so nice to not see Ritsuka (a twelve year old boy) being mistranslated as calling people bitches all the time.This volume is where the plot of Loveless really kicks in, imo, with the Zero boys living with Soubi and the introduction of Septimal Moon. Its still almost deliberately obtuse though. I share Ritsuka's frustration,

This volume was a little weird, but I’m excited to see where this story goes! Plus I ship soubi and ritsuka SO HARD LIKE I NEED THEM TO BE TOGETHER!

I really love this whole universe and I'm glad that the plot has me very much intrigued. There's so much going on that will keep you interested and wanting to know more. The bond between the different fighters and their sacrifices throughout the story really touches my heart. It's the reason I'm so madly in love with what Soubi and Ritsuka have going on. Especially because they're not even meant to be together in battle.

The plot is plenty confusing and disjointed again, and every time it feels like it's moving forward, a new element or characters are added to increase the cunfusion. (Again, unofficial translation might be making it so much harder to comprehend what is going on.)

4/5 ⭐ I enjoyed this one a bit better then the second one

Getting into some torture porn here... the author sure likes them injuries!

I thought I would pick this series up again. It's not phenomenal but I have faith that it will get better. And I found a translation that doesn't just confuse me. :) And the artwork isn't bad. I've seen better but it's not bad. The story is progressing into a more seeable arc. The idea of Soubi, 20 some yrs old kissing Ritsuka, whose 12 still makes me cringe sometimes but I remind myself this is fantasy and after a while you get used to it. I just pretend Ritsuka is older and read the books for

I love Loveless! I am also quite confused! Whenever one mystery is solved, it seems like two new ones pop up in its place, especially surrounding Septimal Moon - gah, its a hydra! Kill it with fire!... no, its not that bad. But I sure wish I could figure out what Soubi's real motives are. He is definitely motivated by his orders from Seimei, but he seems to have a genuine attachment to Ritsuka as well. He tells Ritsuka to command him and he will do as he says, but then he doesn't follow some of

Still disturbing, but it does make me think. Why is it ok in American culture/lit for a a 100 year old male vampire to fall in love with a little girl and not for a 20 year old cat-person to fall in love with a little cat-boy. In fact, there are rampant inappropriate age matches of the older male to significantly younger female in our lit. Still, this book takes it to a much younger level. I just pretend R is 16 or 17. It's definitely a compelling and strange story.

Ahhh, this volume was also rather eventless. So, while we wait for the fun to start in the following volumes. Let me rant a little about that annoying bitch aka their teacher.Could someone please stop her? Is she stupid? Does she even have a brain in that big head of hers? She’s so unnaturally dumb that I just can’t handle it anymore. I don’t even know how she’s managed to keep her ears till her age when she’s fallen in love with a random stranger just because he’s hot. No, I bet it’s because of...

Poor. Yun Kouga really revels in violence and blood. When it's not Soubi bleeding, being hurt or tortured, it's Ritsuka being smacked around by his mother. The main characters' actions and emotions make no sense to me, I just can't connect with them. As the synopsis says: erratic. And the female characters are still naive and dumb (the teacher starts crying in class because her students are mean to her and Yuiko is talking about herself in third person? *rolls eyes*).Also, Yun Kouga is obsessed

Erratic, random, I still think the author had no idea where the story was going or how the magic actually works (other than fighters saying pretty words). However, it's strangely compelling and interestingly messed up. This volume has a bit of fighting, some playing of video games and strange ways of exploring the mystery of a character's death. I still like "Loveless", but I couldn't explain why.

Yun Kouga, Loveless, vol. 3 (Tokyopop, 2003)Well, it only took me three volumes of Loveless to decide I wasn't going to continue on with this one. Too many structural defects, the main one being that scene shifts are almost impossible to track when (a) so many of your characters look close-to-identical and (b) they don't use each other's names all that often. A majority of the time I ended up having no clue who was who. Five more volumes of this? I'll pass. Fans of Fruits Basket (another manga w...

I read the first 5 volumes back when this came out. If memory serves, the storyline was an interesting one, at least I really liked it. With manga, you really have to suspend your belief when it comes to some of the content, such as age difference.

Loveless, Volume 1 was a book that didn't keep my attention as well as it should have, so I almost gave up on this series. But, I am glad that I didn't. When I saw the second omnibus of this series up on Edelweiss, I thought "What the hey? Let's give it another shot, and see if it gets better.". And, it did. Loveless isn't an extremely fast-paced series, nor it is it extremely slow. It has its' action moments, but is more about the life of the characters than tons of battles. If you expected *

I had forgotten that I had this one on Interlibrary Loan. Since I've built a bit of a relationship with the ILL Librarian, I decided to read it before returning so I can provide a review, if she asks.I had forgotten who half the characters were since reading the last volume, which left me quite confused for the first several pages.The teacher, about the only developed female in the series, has become more annoying and dumber since we met her. The main focus of the first half of this particular v...
