jaimesamms's review against another edition
3.0
I liked this one. I'm a great fan of will they/won't they, and there are so many pairs to chose from. The series is not without angst, which is fine by me. The art is great, clean lines and lots of pretty bois and flowing hair. Hey, I like my bishies, what can I say?

lighthearted
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No

(review is for the entire series)
One of the first manga series I ever read, and one I still go back to read periodically. The art, and the main characters, are beautiful--Tsuzuki and his colleagues are classic biseinen (beautiful young men). Definite shonen-ai (flirting/hints of relationships between men) elements, but the wild and excellently told supernatural adventures will keep most people who are not shonen-ai fans reading. The story falls apart somewhere in the last volume (which I would rate four stars at best)--both by "jumping the shark" and because it's unfinished (the manga creator became seriously ill for many years and had to quit working on it).
A classic I hope many older-teen and adult supernatural-manga and shonen ai fans discover.

A little shy of unbelievable. I thought (and still think) Hisoka and Masaki looked too similar. I really want to get the rest of the series.

Own the anime,decided to read the books. The deviations are fairly minimal.
Tsuzuki is still a lazy dude who's actually a really nice guy and super powerful. Hisoka is still a teenager that has the ability to feel others emotions and is fairly powerful. They are teamed up by their boss. All the sequences are roughly the same as the anime.
