Goh and Taki are some kind of 'good thieves'. The first two volumes consist of shorter stories that focus mainly on the different jobs Goh and Taki have to carry out. And thus I strongly recommend to only read volume 3 when you already have also bought volume 4, because when volume 3 ends you'll be desperate to read volume 4 straight away. They don't know much about their employers, but there are hints that they are hired by the police. There's also a lot of humor in this series. As such the story is quite action packed and Goh and Taki have to avoid some pretty dangerous situations. They steal mostly drugs from the bad guys. The last two volumes on the other hand are one big story which reveals a lot about Goh's and Taki's past.
But as a team they can rely on one another.On the personal level it's a little bit more complicated as Goh is gay and Taki straight. But that doesn't keep Goh from trying his luck with Taki.Volumes 3 and 4 are a little bit different than volumes 1 and 2. ;-)Yellow has an excellent story and the drawings are gorgeous. Overall an excellent yaoi.
The final chapter to the series 'Yellow' was amazing. Makoto's drawing style is magnificent and her ending to the series was perfect. I highly recommend that anyone who enjoys Yaoi purchases this and the rest of the series. ^_^
This review covers episodes 2 to 4 which are very much alike.I was delighted with the first one: gone were the womanish, delicate characters so common in other yaoi, replaced by two strong, witty males involved in dangerous adventures.I do not know why but with her second episode the author, instead of pursuing this fun filled path, gradually making her two men fall for each other, decided to take a very serious turn for melodrama.Taki has a heart rending -and uninteresting- past that comes back to literally hunt him. Gone are the fun, the humour, the light hearted adventures, replaced by endless tears and guilt, back in the obnoxious routine of a genre made to please romance loving straight women more than gay men.I guess I should just give up the whole genre.
To really appreciate this book you would need to read the first three. But this was one of my most favorite yoai books ever. It was a very well done ending to an interesting story.
I really enjoyed reading this manga series.Intriguing story,well written,well drawn,one of the best BL manga lately.This is one of those that I cant wait to get my hands on the next volume and the characters in this manga seem very alive to me.Love how they ended the series.It would be neat to see if they made this into an anime -a 12 episode series like Gakuen Heaven but at a PG rating or not.
