Yaoi Value: 1 The hero of the story intercedes in an attempted rape of a little boy whom he regards as his "other half"; there's a couple of kissing scenes and your thoughtful chin lifting but in the traditional Higuri story telling goes-that's as yaoi as this gets.

Artistic Value: 4

Unresolved Sexual Tension: 2 The story's not picked up enough speed for much of anything sexual yet.

Overall rating: 3
