I honestly really loved this as a 14-year-old, it was one of the few animes I've actually watched more than twice. I don't know, something about forbidden yaoi love always gets me. Many people complained about the art style, but I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. Something about classic yaoi with the long-ass limbs and fingers I enjoy. My aesthetic is anything goth related. After many years, I cannot stop listening to the soundtrack. The songs are amazing, the singers do a great job bringing Nanjo Koji to life. Also, did you know Sakurai from the Japanese band, Buck-Tick, inspired the mangaka artist to create Nanjo Koji?You can see a similarity with Nanjo Koji's "Bad Blood" and Buck-Tick's original video for "Aku no Hana".

You may say that I may have bad taste, but I know I'm not the only one who felt this way, despite the negative 1-star reviews. UGH, it's the nostalgia and the characters that get me. Of course like any other anime, the manga has more details about the storyline.
