The drawing and sequencing of the panels greatly improved. The writing also progressed nicely, and finally plot points are starting to be explain. I still do not know way there are fighters to begin with? why do they even exist? Why use a video game to communicate?

Part 2 of the great Loveless reread! I can't help but feel like not much of significance happened in this volume, though the foreshadowing of Soubi's past with Ritsu was interesting.Edit: we meet the Zero boys in this volume! I forgot what hell children they are.

When in doubt about an adult character's sex in Lovelesss, wait for a profile image and look for breasts. Apparently, I'm not the only one who had question marks about this, so I'm offering this hint for anyone else who's confused.Aaanyway. art-confusion aside, Loveless is a series for which Your Mileage May Vary by a lot. As far as I can tell, it's a mix of cuteness, boy's love, schoolboy fighting, Level 100 Fucked Up-edness, weird messed up psychology, pedophile undertones and what the hell is...

This was amazing!

This is another series that I've been told is good. I looked at it a few months ago but was weirded out by the cat ears on the characters. But I decided to read in a few pages just to check and once the ears were explained, I actually kind of liked the idea. :) So I decided to give it a try. It was not what I was expecting. From what I can get out of the story, it's unique and interesting, but the problem is that it's too confusing. I can hardly make any sense out of it. I feel like I'm accident...

This Shonen-ai is amazing!Loving it so far! And can't quit now! I want to keep reading it, FOREVER!I think Soubi said to Ritsuka "I love you" already (more or less) 100 times... This manga is wonderful and Ritsuka ears are sooooo cute!I don't want to keep reading... nope I NEED to keep reading this serie.5 stars

This story is so messed up. I need to read more to know how I feel. While I’m not sure how nefarious the main relationship between Ritauka and Soubi is, nothing in this story is good. Except, maybe, Yuiko, but she clearly has some issues too. When I first read this manga over a decade ago, I missed a lot of the more nuanced messed-up scenes. Trigger warning: child abuse and manipulation, bulling, and talk of rape

This series has the makings of something fun, but sometimes the story just drags on and on. The cat ears and tail things is an interesting twist on knowing who is a virgin and whose not. And of course, oh Japan with our relationship here. But it's weird because sometimes Kouga-san will draw Ritsuka so he looks so much older and then other times she draws him to look younger (but still not 11-12 - he looks 16/17 even when he looks young).I'll keep reading. I'm not entirely invested now, but I lik...

Completed this volume and now am staring down my mail box for the next one to come. How dare you cliffhanger me! Also I am glad to learn more about the people in Ritsuka's life. His teacher and friends included.And I need to know what happens to Soubi!

Loveless- great story but I'm uncomfortable with the relationship age gap. He's 11 and the other one is 20. The middle schooler is kissing him, but it not like sex, perhaps a power thing ? but the older one says things like now I'm getting hard...... I really have this cringe thing going on when I got the ages. I know it's a Manga, not real but ... well I'll move on the rest of the series before I put my judgmental Judy cap on and slam the hammer down. I've only seen glimpses and there could be

So Ritauka is such a deep character with so much more happening beneath the surface I am obsessed with this.. I need to order the next volumes immediately 🙌

I just didn't get it, the story line was too confusing to keep track of.Since I don't normally write reviews unless I have something specific to say, here's the break down of how I rate my books...1 star... This book was bad, so bad I may have given up and skipped to the end. I will avoid this author like the plague in the future.2 stars... This book was not very good, and I won't be reading any more from the author.3 stars... This book was ok, but I won't go out of my way to read more, But if I...

TW: older man kissing a child, child abuse, violence The art is really solid and descriptive, and it manages to hold my attention even though the principle relationship seems to be between an 11 year old and an adult, which is honestly saying something.

I had gotten this book combined with the first volume and honestly, I like the story and in the volume two aspect, it seems to focus more on relationships than in volume one not that its an issue. The relationships adds more heart to it and makes you feel more with characters and understand them more, as it shows more of the people's character. Soubi and Ritsuka´s relationship. At first, the relationshp between them to me was very concerning. Yet, as the story goes on I don´t know you learn to d...

There's no listing for the omnibus editions of this manga, but I read the vol 1 & 2 omnibus edition last night. Given my past and my history as a survivor of child sexual abuse and pornography, you would think I would avoid these sorts of stories like the plague, but I have a strange fascination with the incredibly dodgy relationship Soubi and Ritsuka have. I'm guessing that Japanese culture has a different sort of standard for relationships with such a wide age disparity and that's why stories

catboys really get into sadism

I think the unofficial translation of the version I read contributes to how the story is progressing - and how jumbled it feels, almost more so than in the first volume.Most characters come off as very annoying (eveyone is very young, too). There is also the matter of child abuse that is still mostly going unhandled, but I hope that issue will not be swept under the carpet forever.Hoping that further immersion in the 'verse will help piece the very vague facts together into a cohesive image (the...

One of my friends lent this to me because I thought the art was pretty, in an omnibus edition, but I didn't expect to be as put off by this as I was! After the first volume, I pressed on to the second one, thinking I'd taken something the wrong way, but after that, I was pretty sure that I hadn't misconstrued things. I'm okay with the odd, possibly metaphorical fighting, since in manga-world, students throw their book bags in the ditch and have bloody smack-downs at the drop of a hat, and the ge...

I love Loveless! Action, drama, fluff, comedy, its all there! It's actually one of the first BL manga I've read where there are both male and female love interests for the main character, so that's interesting to me. Nevertheless, anyone who gets between Ritsuka and Soubi is going to have to answer to me - they're so cute and complicated! Poor Ritsuka, what a terrible home life he has. I keep wondering if Ritsuka's lost personality is a metaphor, like the ears (and ear piercings), or just an asp...

More similarities with Kuroshituji, I can't help it! Soubi only smiles when he gets hurt, just like Sebastian. And he wants to hear Ritsuka's command to proceed with his battles or whatever. He even says 'Yes, master'!! Waaaaaaa, I miss 'Yes, my lord'. Besides, Soubi sounds like Sebby :S Anyway, this volume presents more disturbing characters. Like the Doctor (she? or he?) looks like is in love or has a crush on Ritsuka. Aaaaand, these 2 kids Zero (a girl and a boy? 2 boys?) were about to rape R...
