Title: much better than i'd thought it would be
Review: first off, i'm really not into WWE-style wrestling, but i ended up w/ a copy of this so i thought i'd check it out anyway. i was leery of a yaoi book made in by a non-japanese company, but i was pleasantly surprised. the artwork is serviceable and occasionally gets steamy, but the real draw is the story. many people will be turned off by the power-play type dynamics (and the kinkier scenes) and not be able to see the underlying emotional turmoil of the two main characters. those are the same people who hated such japanese series as jazz. i for one enjoy unusual stories like this, and the author really brought the whole backstage pro wrestling setting alive. i found the emotional dynamics to be interesting, enough so that i'll be looking into what other books the author's released. hopefully the author's artwork will improve to match her writing.
Is the review positive or negative?
