Since I read the first chapter of White Guardian, DUO BRAND's art has a special place in my heart.
I don't know if it's because I get to see more and more yaoi manga but this time around I wasn't so captivated by the art though. In fact, although this manga is clearly superior to White Guardian (that's the only thing I 've read for DUO BRAND so far), I wasn't touched so much by it. You can go ahead and call me insensible 'cause I don't know why myself.
From a non partial view now : this manga is very well done. Is it a must-read? I'll let you answer that question.
For hard yaoi fans : you'll find some eye candy scenes but if there's something I really don't like in DUO BRAND is the invisible penis syndrome. It is laughably silly not to show it when everything else, including semen, is implying it.
