 Hmmm... September 13, 2008

I love Sadahiro Mika. Love, Love, Love. She can do no wrong in my book but something about Pathos just doesn't sit well with me. Its not bad. I really like the angst level of the book. The whole conflict with Ace being in love with Jay and Jay being attracted to Ace but shackled to King, albeit loosely, and Jays inner turmoil and guilt about being drawn to Ace is really interesting. The main characters being Vampires is always a plus too. The thing I really don't like is probably the fact that Ace looks so childish. Thats my main pet peeve with yaoi in general. He definitely looks hot when he gets older though... I guess the first part of this series is pretty good but I have read both parts and I think maybe thats why I'm hesitant about giving Pathos 5 stars. I'm not gonna give away the ending but I guarantee it will leave you saying "huh?"
 Vampires + yaoi = yummy! August 18, 2008

Although not as outrageously smutty as some yaoi, this manga is absolutely delightful. As the book description states, Pathos is the story of 2 men (vampires) raising a human child. The younger of the two men, J, is drawn to the boy's blood and desperately tries to resist the temptation so he doesn't kill him. This gets a bit complicated, though, as the boy (Ace) finds himself more and more attracted to J and tries to seduce him. This all leads to a shower scene with J finally sucking the teenaged Ace's blood and almost killing him. The older vampire, King, comes home in time to save the boy and explains to J that for a vampire, bloodust equals love. In other words, J is in love with Ace.
Since vampires suck blood instead of having sex, there's plenty of hot and heavy embraces with close-ups of a fang entering someone's neck.
There's also an awesome scene with King and J, where King interrupts J's pickup of a victim and pays the victim to have sex with J in front of him. Technically, a vampire can't get it up, but King's excitement in watching is obvious by his intent eyes and lengthening fangs. Rawrr!
Overall, a great book - nice art, captivating characters, and plenty of teasing that will leave you wanting volume 2 right away.
