Ash —I’m worried to death because I haven’t been able to see you doing well.You said we live in different worlds. But is that true?We have different colored skin and eyes. We were born in different countries.But we’re friends. Isn’t that what counts?I’m really glad I came to America. I met lots of people.And more than anything, I met you.You asked me over and over if you scared me. But I never feared you, not once.What’s more is you’re hurt much more than me. I couldn’t help feeling that way.Funny, huh?You’re way smarter, bigger, and stronger than me. But I always felt like I had to protect you. I wonder what it is I wanted to protect you from.I wanted to protect you from fate.The fate that tries to carry you away, drifting futher and futher.You told me once about a leopard you read in a book. How you believed that leopard knew that it couldn’t go back.And I said you weren’t a leopard, that you could change your destiny.You’re not alone. I’m by your side.My soul is always with you.— Eiji Okumura

truly an amazing manga series.

First discovered the first few volumes of this in the library when I was a teenager and I fell in love. Years later I heard there was an anime adaptation and that made me revisit the manga, and it's still really good. The art is particularly interesting as it's a stark contrast to other manga I read at the time (which was mostly stylized rather than realistic).

This order was amazing in shipping vol1 in perfect shape. Though it was expected to arrive in 2-3 weeks, it came just later that week, so faster shipping than predicted, which is always a plus. Definitely a reliable option when starting your collection of bf manga volumes (because you definitely will want to keep it going once you get this first volume).

I fell deeply in love with these characters. From Ash’s perseverance to rise above his dark past, to Eiji’s naive honesty and beautiful devotion to help those around him, no matter the cost. The manga as well as the anime have captured my heart and I will continue to rewatch and reread these. They are a must read, everyone could find something in these that draws them in, no matter what background you come from or what genre of writing you like, this is a fantastically emotional story.

I watched the anime and totally loved it so I decided to buy the manga and I have no regrets the cover is so colorful and the story is amazing the art is wonderful totally reccomend :)

I love the anime got the first volume manga bc they never have in stock at stores 🙄🙄 they’re kinda gay tho 😕

Había estado buscando este tomo en todas pero no había logrado conseguirlo hasta que lo hallé aquí, llego en perfecto estado, muy bien empaquetado.

The wait time was a bit long and I was nervous when I saw how beat up the packaging was, but this is in fantastic condition! It's super shiny (you can see your reflection in it), with no dent in sight and it even has that crisp new book smell. Thanks! Hope to order other volumes that I can't find at my nearby bookstores.

It came pretty fast for home delivery, the package was in good condition and the book looks really good . I love the art and the way it kinda has that old style. The books looks great later on when you have more of the series.

Kocham ta mangę!! Przyszła o dzień wcześniej i w nienaruszonym stanie!! Bardzo się cieszę!! Polecam
