Manga comics or graphic novels created in Japan

Manga are comics or graphic novels created in Japan or by creators in the Japanese language, conforming to a style developed in Japan in the late 19th century. They have a long and complex pre-history in earlier Japanese art.

Reception

Patricia Beard, writing for Mania, noted Kujyou's "understated" approach, welcoming it as a relief from other "overwrought" yaoi, but feeling that the title story's couple were "dull" and did not show a connection. [2] Leroy Douresseaux, writing for Comic Book Bin, described the title story as being a "drawn out, melodramatic love story that would fit a romance novel", and praised Kujiyou's character designs. [3] Rachel Bentham, writing for Active Anime, noted that tales about long-distance relationships are "rare in yaoi", and also noted the explicitness was reduced for the title story when compared to the bonus stories.
