Our take
A hyperactive pop singer and a cold novelist. The 1990s series that brought a generation of English readers to BL. Loud, dated and still fun.
Synopsis
Shuichi wants to take his band to the top of the charts. Then a stranger, the novelist Eiri Yuki, reads his lyrics and tears them apart. Shuichi sets out to prove him wrong and ends up with a crush instead. The 1990s classic returns in large omnibus volumes with a new translation.
