I have to agree with the other reviewer - be prepared for emo-kid self-pity! (It's kinda nauseating, unless you realize that, well, that selfish, adult-hating headspace is where most teenagers ARE while they're forming self-identity.)
The art is AMAZING - very, very gorgeous Visual-Kei Goth - no surprise because the authors are in a Visual-Kei band! But this is on par with the Gothic Lolita costuming in Mitsukazu Mihara and Kayori Yuki's series. I love having to stare at panels just to soak in the people/atmosphere/outfits.
The story is about dissolution, angst and identity. It's very clearly "Bi-shonen" and NOT "Yaoi."
I was kinda shocked by the ending... but, it's realistic, if abrupt.
