Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

This long-running yaoi series concludes with the drama at a high pitch, as emotional revelations and family secrets unfold. But as one would expect, there aren't a lot of entry points for those not already following along. Georges, 15, has taken off in order to find out more about his history, returning to the orphanage from which he was adopted. There, his assumptions about his biological father change greatly when he sees his parent as a person instead of a role. Meanwhile, Georges's very close friend Robert has set out to find him and bring him back home. Slivered panels and a reliance on facial closeups emphasize emotional revelation. Georges spends the volume learning secrets and feeling a form of survivor's guilt, as the only one of his family who's still alive. He likely seems less whiny—why me? the world would have been better off if I'd never been born—to readers who've gotten to know him over the earlier books in the series. Others may appreciate the pathos of the visuals of a young blond boy, depressed and hurt by recent revelations, tormented by his forbidden and unrequited (he thinks) love, wandering blindly in the snow.

This review is from: La Esperanca Volume 7 (Yaoi) (v. 7) (Paperback)

Ever since the first volume this series has held me in angsty suspense; the story itself is beautifully written and you feel for every single one of the characters, for all of them have depth and harbor insecurities and it's wonderful to see them work through it as the series progresses. As for this volume it surpassed my expectations and has become my favorite of all of the volumes since everything finally reaches its climactic end with everyone having given closure to past hurts and growing from the experience, especially Georges and Roberts relationship. All in all this has become one of my most favorites series ever!

This review is from: La Esperanca Volume 7 (Yaoi) (v. 7) (Paperback)

La Esperanca has a very cute ending here. There is a bit of tension with a soft release. Very cute (not yaoi, only shonen-ai) and I must admit to liking side characters better than the main characters (love Henry and his friends).
