Review:

Prepare yourself for a longer read! An 8 volume fantasy setting shounen ai story. (No smut, but there’s an actual plot that develops!) The manga depicts a world where angels have a duty to assist souls to pass to Heaven. The protagonists are 2 angels, Frau and Kio, who are childhood friends. Secrets, mystery, plot twists, and adventure packed plot. Together, and with others (the other characters are important to the development of the story too!) they battle the evil ones that have their own eventually-revealed agenda. Overall, a unique story with great art and intriguing plot that is well worth the read.
(The art and the BL are a plus!)

Review #2:

Manga title:Batsu Game
Manga artist: Conro


Review:

A punishment game - “The loser has to go out on the road and kiss a stranger!”

It’s all about winning or losing, and Nagami Seiji is the loser. He kisses a stranger and the next day at school, destiny plays a dirty trick on him when the stranger turns out to be Miyata Rutsu , his sempai. ”Forgetting" is the last thing on Rutsu’s mind, and actually, he pays back by having his way with Seiji and taking his “O-face” picture, which he uses as blackmail - “My, my, punishment games are fun."

This story has more to offer than hot sex scenes, it’s fun, deep and absolutely fabulous! I was actually surprised, since I was expecting only some raw yaoi, but the characters are beautifully constructed, teasing, fighting, challenging, giving and taking as much, they both come headstrong on each other. Rutsu’s got a nice story and Seiji has such an “alpha” vibe to him that makes him so hot! There are a lot of feelings involved, many amusing moments which makes the story more catchy and the artwork is absolutely beautiful. What I find totally sexy, are the kisses…they look simply delicious and capable to turn you on!

Trust me, you don’t want to miss it.

Both are good, but #2 edged ahead by more details and better flow.

good luck to you both!

I did read #1 and confirm, there is a real plot!

In regards of the review (outside of any preference I have for the book themselves), the 2 reviews are giving personal opinion of the reviewers. A bit more objectivity in #1 as there is no "I" in it, though more detailed argumentation on #2.

None of the review are showing a ranking, as has been in past reviews, it does not remove any interest to the texts above, anyway.

Good reviews, the both of them, giving enough idea about plot/characters to see if we'd want to read!

There's something i haven't read so far and looking forward to!

I really love reading reviews and get a personal opinion as well, as it opens up doors to new unread manga which should not be missed!

Ooh... both are lovely reviews!!! I think I'm personally more interested in reading the 2nd title but... but... Thank you for the reviews, both were helpful and nicely done!

More, more yaoi stories thank you so much, you 2. Both sound so delicious and hard to choose .

Thanks again and I voted, too.
