Desire was one of the first Yaoi books I've read, and one that I really enjoyed. (Even if I did feel outraged at some parts) Toru's one of those characters whom your going to cheer for, he's really cute and a sweet guy who deserves happiness. Kashiwazaki's genuinely nice, and will have no trouble getting the support of a lot of readers. Ryoji's the one whom your going to feel like strangling. (Although he's sweet in his own way. ^^) Pros: A highly engaging story and for all the drama in it, your going to be ecstatic at the ending. Cons: You may feel really irkedby Ryoji's behavior (Even I still dont entirely forgive him of his actions.), and the story-line kinda gets on peoples nerves.
