(Sweet Ending) (A Developing Relationship) (So good. So very, very good) (As good as the first volume) Gerard&Jacques Volume 2 kicked my rating up from a prior 4 star to a 5 star. I felt this volume was much better than volume 1, which was still pretty good. We start out with Jacques mother remarrying and subsequently sending a messenger to Jacques stating she wants to see him. He goes to visit her, and Gerard, fearing he has left for good, searches for a replacement. However, Jacques returns to Gerard and confirms that his mother does want to adopt him into the new family but he has chosen to stay with Gerard. This visit is an important turning point for both Gerard and Jacques as Jacques finds out a family secret that gives him and Gerard a common bond and brings them closer together. The rest of the story centers on the beginning of the revolutionary war and its implications for our couple, both of whom have aristocratic ties which means certain death if found out. Unfortunately for them, our scoundrel from volume 1, Raul de Amalric makes another appearance in this volume and spells nothing but trouble for Gerard and Jacques. This volume kicks its plot into high gear and as I've said in my prior review of volume 1, it is refreshing to read something so different and at the same time so interesting. Plus, our mangaka has really kicked the humor in this volume into high gear as well. The cleverness of the cook and our poor Jacques "exploding" whenever Gerard gets near him had me in stitches. Although I am still not a fan of the drawing style, it is much more tolerable when both characters are adults and the younger boys are no longer included in the story. Also, be aware that if you have read any of her other work, you'll notice how most of her character couples look exactly the same in the face from title to title but only differ in their hair styles. This is one reason for my hesitation in buying any more of her work. I am happy to see an improvement in the sexual content as there are two very lovely and a good deal more explicit sex scenes between our main characters (and another sex scene with rather violent connotations involving Gerard). I wasn't happy with the sexual content of volume 1 but I feel the mangaka has done a fine job with volume 2. The general illustrations are just as good as volume 1 and the translation into English is as perfect as ever. I've increased my ratings for character design, plot and sexual content as I feel this volume deserves it. With volume 2 being the conclusion to this story, I would highly recommend obtaining both volumes as I feel they are a worthwhile read. Character Design = B+ Plot = A+ Sexual Content = A- Illustrations = A- Translation = A+ Overall Rating = A It was great to see the relationship between the characters develop and as usual Fumi Yoshinaga handled both the bitter and the sweet aspects of new love with wit, humor and a unique honesty. Obviously this is not a story about the French Revolution, just one using it as a backdrop and occasional source of danger for the lovers. The core of the story and where all of Fumi Yoshinaga's stories really shine is in the characters. They are charming and wonderful to spend time with. I enjoyed both Gerard&Jacques books and recomend them to anyone who is looking for a pleasant mix of romance, humor and dry wit. Jacques undergoes confusion due to his attraction to Gerard during this Yaoi work, which is set during the French Revolution. Like the first volume, this yaoi is a little more explict then I usually read. As wonderful as the first volume, this one lets us see Jacques experience his confusion and his attraction for Gerard. The surprising twist in Jacques history is quite bittersweet and I truly felt bad for him. I felt even worse for him when Gerard fell asleep! Of course, he was drunk... It was so touching watching Gerard try to protect Jacques, and watch Jacques re-humanize Gerard. And they're both so cute! As beautiful as this story is, it's not without it's humorous moments. The times when Jacques exploded were laugh-out-loud, as was his confusion on why everybody were such big fans of Gerard's work (poor boy, he just doesn't get it). The story is set agianst the French Revolution (like you didn't know that by now), and just the right amount is brought into the story without overshadowing...yadda, yadda, yadda - it's nothing every other reviewer hasn't already said. It's very true, but I'm not going to repeat it. The finale is heart-pounding up to the very end for our seme and uke. I would have liked them to end up physically in the same place, but I guess I'll have to be grateful with the knowledge that Gerard was going home to Jacques. This is a wonderful yaoi and if you're a fan of the genre, you should definetly read it. I liked this volume even better then the first. Both Gerard and Jacques must deal with problems from their pasts as well as their feelings for one another. Plus France is in turmoil and life becomes quite dangerous for our couple. And poor Jacques is having a bit of a hard time, I felt a little sorry him, even as I was laughing at his "explosive" problems. I also got a chuckle from the fact that Jacques can't understand the popularity of Gerards writing. Once again there is man/man sex, and it is explicit - hey, it is yaoi after all. A wonderful story, a nice end to this series. On the verge of the French Revolution, Jacques' mother finally decides to search for him. Gerard lets him go, seeing the boy depart for a life of luxury and pleasure, with no expectations of his return. But Jacques is unable to hide his feelings for Gerard, much to Gerard's dismay. It goes against his sense of honor to take advantage of such a naive youth. Can Jacques weather the revolution--and Gerard's heart?

A lot of threesomes (or even more), VERY explicit scenes. Easily, one of the most explicit yaoi / M/M titles in the market. Not much in terms of the plot, but some stories still managed to be.. well, sweet, though it's probably not the best word to describe it. The art quality varies, but some stories feature fairly nice and gracious artwork. In terms of art, there's a steady improvement as compared to the previous Yaoi Hentai volumes (esp. volume 1). I liked two of the stories: 1) "Morality League", very good art by Studio Kosaru. S&M-themed and perverse. 2) "The Silver Bell" story is about a human and a fairy. It's most "yaoi-like" / Japanese-yaoi-like in terms of story and art. The Trach / tentacle story is amusing enough, though not as good as in other Yaoi Hentai volumes. The cover art refers to the first story, "Aristocrats". Great art by Studio Kosaru, and one of the most explcit / erotic in the volume. Absolutely no plot, though. Overall, recommended but only to the hard yaoi "veterans" :) while the other three books were just as good, there is certin stories in this one that i rather liked. there were alot more shorter stories to chosse from. over all rather good and fun to read, can't wait for the 4th to come out. I hate to say it but I found the weiner in the fence kind of funny. The stories are fair, sex for the sake of sex. The art depends on the story. It goes from good to OH MY GOD, WTF! Explicit, very. I was disappointed in this third volume of the series of Yaoi Hentai. I found the quality of drawing and stories to be inferior to the first two volumes overall. There are five stories but no index or tabel of contents to tell you what they are, so here's a list: "The Aristocrats" is about two performers trying to get a show accepted. "The Morality League" is about a high school self-hating gay boy who uses violence to cover his desires. "Oh No!" seems to be about two young lovers who get turned on by watching others through a hole in a fence. "The Silver Bell" was the best drawn and frankly most interesting; a fantasy piece about fairies and the risks of having sex with them. Finally another tentacle monster story, this time set on a subway in some odd future world where male nudity is mandatory. In Volume 3 of the ultra popular, kinky, sex-full Yaoi Hentai, you'll see tentacle monster Trach nailing an unsuspecting bus rider, a poor bishonen with his wiener caught in a fence hole and the perv friend who helps, a yaoi take on the "Aristocrats" joke, hot loving with a Sultan's slave and more! Explicit yaoi content. For readers 18+ only!

(A decent manga adaption from the dating sim) (BL manga based on a dating sim) (A disgraceful attempt at fanservice) The first thing you need to know about this manga is the fact that it's visually stunning. You Higuri is one of the best mangakas these days, her style is flawless and she makes sure that her characters and even the backgrounds are very detailed. So I would give the style five stars. The story itself is not so good, unfortunately. I think that a lot of manga readers like this manga for its yaoi potential more than for the actual story. I mean, you have a ton of guys there and the pairing possibilities are endless. And I think that that's what appeals to readers. Should I compare the manga and the anime, I would say that I liked the ending and the main couple in the anime better but the manga was not so dragged out. In the anime, the main couple made more sense, because they knew each other from before. The whole "love on the first sight" didn't make much sense in the manga, especially between Keita and the King. I just want to make note I have am not familiar with these characters nor have I played the Yaoi PC Game version of Gakuen Heaven or even seen the Anime Series! So I can't give an official opinion to whom I really think Keita (the main character) should have ended up with, and what not. But the true reason behind my 3 Star Rating is the story itself; the Art is simply gorgeous though! I think I was too nice in even giving this a `high' Rating to begin with. The story is horrible. Straight away everyone absolutely loves Keita, for no reason. No one knows who he is or anything, so that sudden affection is confusing and unexplained. The first chapter itself contains a chain letter, Keita is not allowed to read but wonders around delivering to have a party at the end. Nothing important happens but he meets a lot of the students but nothing is really discussed to make it have a point. And most of the characters are dull and unrealistic; they are original in any sense. In the next chapter, the director wants to expel Keita because he isn't as strong or smart as the other students, and miraculously the director also announces a game that allows the winning students one wish that he will grant ~ no matter what it is. So guess what all of Keita new friends want? This Manga is too predicable. The other students care too much, during the game, Keita is kidnapped by the Judo Gang cos he's not up to their standard and doesn't `deserve' to be in the school. Why does everyone care so much about one guy? Usually no one would even care! Then we see Keita become absolutely obsessed with Niwa (King of the School). But there's no BL or Yaoi action until¾ of the way through the book so it makes it a dull kinda `stalker' theme to it. He's always going on about being so in awe of him. But there's no real relationship anyway, it was completely stupid how they `fell in love' which was mainly `I wanna be near you' and then they were doing it. But I must say the one uncensored panel was nice. But when they actually said `I love you' it was the wrong moment. And they even added in a old original three way love ~ Niwa's right hand man, Nakajima is in love with him and hates the idea of Keita getting in the way. What relationship do they actually have? Another annoying thing is how weak of a person Keita actually is; he's always breaking down for some reason or another. `King doesn't like me' `I don't deserve to be here' and so on. He's paranoid 24/7. The book itself was a huge let down. This is a sad pathetic attempt at Yaoi/BL. There's no real reason it could be called BL/Yaoi. Anyone who saw the anime and just found this manga needs to understand 2 facts on this manga adaptation of a dating sim. The reason why this manga focuses on this pairing was due to a poll which japanese fans voted as the pairing they want to see in manga form. So this manga simply adapts Keita and the King's plotline. So its not a case of the author screwing up the story, but a fan service that was part of a popularity contest. That being said, since it only concerns one of the plotlines, you're gonna end up missing much of the story behind other characters, just like the game itself. Buy these only if you're fully aware for the reasons behind this product. As someone who didn't know about the anime or video game, I picked up Gakuen Heaven at the bookstore I work at, lured by the BLU logo and shrink-wrap. I have to say that this book did feel a little "crammed" - I could tell that there had to be more story going on somewhere. Boy's Love seems to be a really lenient genre as far as what gets published in Japan, and even brought over to America. I have a lot of different BL books on my shelf, and not all of them are what I'd consider "keepers". Gakuen Heaven, for me, was right in the middle - on its own, it's pretty entertaining, the art is nice, but the characters are hardly developed at all - it feels like they thought fans of the game would be "bored" by the extra time that would take, so they jumped right into it. It was hard for me to keep up with the apparent politics between the "Student Council" and "Budget Council" - I still can't figure out what the heck the problem was, who exactly was mad at who, and what it had to do with the rest of the story. When I learned it was originally a BL "dating sim", it started making a little more sense. It really feels like the plot to a dating sim. In order to fully enjoy this one-shot, though, I think you'd have to've played the series. If you're looking just to build on your BL collection, this book should be around the middle of your list. Since it's based on a BL dating sim, it saves the "M" content for the very end. The illustrations are lovely and the book is almost worth it based on that alone, but the story only gives you a glimpse of what Keita and the school's world is probably like. My god what did they do to this manga? The anime series was good but they just sucked the life out of the characters and the plot. They condensed too much into one book so there weren't enough pages to get enough character depth. They also decided to ignore annoying little factors such as the plot. You barley get introduced to the vast cast of characters. None of their personalities shine through like they should have as there wasn't enough space. How the pair fall so deeply in love with each other so suddenly is beyond me. They should have left Keita and Kazuki together not paired him with King. Making King a main character changes the storyline completely, therefore they should have created a new plot and done something interesting to fit the new pairing. A disgraceful attempt at fanservice. The translator needs to broaden their vocabulary. The dialog was so weak we are subjected to such eloquent lines as 'I love you so much. It's not even funny'. I can understand that fans voted for King but he is such a simple character he doesn't suit a lead role, he was a good side character. The art is good but you don't care enough to appreciate it. I don't know how someone who hasn't watched the anime would view this. My guess is they would be twice as disorientated and confused as i was. There were such big chunks of plot missing one is lead to believe the manga-ka watched the anime while drunk and tried to recreate what little they could remember the next morning. Amazing how the characters actually look like they have personalities on the front cover... what a cruel deceit. *Slight Spoiler- if it had a plot* Here's a summary of the manga: ` I've been accepted to a prestigious school. I don't deserve to be here. I don't deserve to be here. I don't deserve to be here. For some anonymous reason I've been asked to leave but I want to stay with my new friends after all. I love you King. Stay with me always. End' Keita Itou--a boy with no special qualities other than superb luck--suddenly receives an acceptance letter from the prestegious all-boys Bell Liberty Academy. There to welcome him are the two most powerful students on campus, the King and Queen of of BL Academy, Niwa and Saionji.Keita works to discover the reasons behind his invitation to such a remarkable school, struggles to find his niche among such brilliant and beautiful young men, and attempts to win the school-wide contest that will grant him his greatest wish! With all the obstacles in his way, including his own self-doubt, will Keita be able to win the competition--and the king's heart?
