Introductions are always hard.

Love Mode has been my favorite series for a long time now. I was excited to hear it was brought over. I admit the first volume isn't the best. While I'm not a great fan of the Takamiya and Izumi pairing it is fun and interesting to watch Izumi come to the slow realizatioin that he's gay. (I'm still amused about his image of gay men) (pg. 45) This is not a one shot smut manga. You have to be into Love Mode for the long run as it follows different couples in their struggles. Some with happy ends and some in heartbreak. Possibly what I love most aboud Love Mode. ^_^. I wish they'd make an anime out of it but oh well...Biblios dropped off the face of the earth ;_;

Oh it gets better

Love Mode volume one is entertaining, but there's not much substance to it...However, as a long time fan of this series I can tell you THIS SERIES GETS SO MUCH BETTER! The main couple switches focus to Aoi and Naoya (and they are so completely adorable)and to the loves of several employees of Blue Boy. It's a wonderful series that's well worth your time. Volume one isn't really neccessary to understand the greater story, but it's a great, smutty entertaining read. Volumes 2+, on the other hand...are fabulous!

Blu's Boys

Mistaken identities, bizarre accidents and pratfalls, tragic pasts and plenty of broken hearts, and that's just for starters! Love Mode tells the story of the lives of the men involved with the classy male escort service, Blue Boy. Lovelines intertwine and cross, friendships are made and broken in this boys' love classic! Yuki Shimizu's Love Mode is like a manga version of a soap opera. It's got tons of characters and couples all woven together to create a masterpiece. It's been a fan favorite for years, and what initially caught my eye was the fact that it's eleven volumes long. So many boys' love series are a single book, but I've always been a fan of long series with lots of character development. This is a series that really pulls you in once you start reading it; it's like an addiction where you swear you'll die from the wait to get your next fix.

Amazing Series

Having read the complete Love Mode series, I am proud to say that Love Mode is one of my favorite mangas. I cant wait till the other volumes come out so that I can buy the whole collection! Yuki Shimizu does an absolute wonderful job with not only the art, but creating the plot and story. Love Mode is a twist and tangle of such sad sweetnesses (it is most definitely a tear jerker). Not to mention, the complex character development and surprises left me in wonder. I would whole heartedly recommend this to anyone who's interested in completely drowning themself in the stories and lives of the characters of Love Mode. *Please Note That This Manga Has A Reaccuring Homosexual Theme. But do not let that hinder you from diving into a brilliant series!

Very interesting.

This is more of a hardcore BL series than a softcore yaoi. It's almost like watching a soap opera with no female characters. The art style in the series changes over time. In book one it's clear that the mangaka's strong points are clothing, hair, backgrounds, & hands. The faces are well drawn, but the eyes & eyebrows make everyone look hideous, with the ecception of Aoe. Skip ahead to the last page of book 8 & you see that that problem has been resolved. This is an angsty series, & yes it does have many of the same elements as Gravitation. The story is thouoghly enjoyable & I hope it gets translated.
