Yun Kouga, Loveless, vol. 3 (Tokyopop, 2003)

Well, it only took me three volumes of Loveless to decide I wasn't going to continue on with this one. Too many structural defects, the main one being that scene shifts are almost impossible to track when (a) so many of your characters look close-to-identical and (b) they don't use each other's names all that often. A majority of the time I ended up having no clue who was who. Five more volumes of this? I'll pass. Fans of Fruits Basket (another manga with much the same problems) may get a lot more out of this than I did. **

I can't say how much I enjoy this series. The drawing, the storyline and the characters all keep me interested.

Loveless is one of the best manga ever. I loved it so much, that I rushed to buy every one the bookstore had one sale. Ritsuka is hilariously cute. Soubi is just hilarious in general.

In volume 3, the plot continues to thicken. :

After a grueling battle against the powerful Zeros, Soubi is badly injured, and in spite of his training, the pain is almost too much to bear. He goes to see Ritsuka, but Soubi's erratic behavior and unpredictable emotions take aver, and he abruptly storms away before Ristuka can care for him. Ritsuka is left tormented and confused...but the mystery behind the death of his older brother is about to take an unbelievalbe turn. Ritsuka finally decodes the message left by Sleepless and goes to meet one of the members of Septimal Moon!
