I'm a fan of yaoi and shounen ai so I read a good story when ever that is possible. And this one comes up with decent art and story setting (a bit common but it's okay). Only thing is that the chapters are really short ("pouts") and it may take some time the story really get going though there is already action so don't worry about that. I do suggest that if you ...
