If you've read any yaoi/BL manga, this novel isn't going to be unfamiliar territory. It's a basic yakuza story, with two hot guys on opposite sides of the law and strictly defined seme/uke roles. I will give credit to the author that the characterization does sometimes stray from what's conventional for this genre but there's also very little fleshing out of the main cast to begin with (Munechika, in particular, is absolutely shrouded in mystery). The author also doesn't really develop the interactions or relationship between the two central characters any more than what is absolutely necessary to move the story forward, so I feel that this book was really lacking in a lot of detail. The way the two characters meet, become attracted to each other, and finally get together seems really choppy and disjointed, and I fail to see how they have any real chemistry or understanding of each other. Instead, pages and pages of this book were filled with dry info-dumps on police procedure and criminal investigation, but the majority of it didn't seem at all necessary in understanding the plot.
I'm shocked as this series is so often recommended among yaoi readers. However, I suspect this first volume only serves as an introduction to the world of S and there will be more character development in the next books. I will read on (there are so few translated BL novels as it is!) but I'm not super keen at this point.… (meer)
