Il Gatto Sul: Volume 1

This title is FANTASTIC. The plot is MUCH deeper than what fans expect from YAOI, and is both artistic and intriguing. The artwork is WAAAAAAY above what YAOI fans are used to, with not only beautiful boys, but whole frames that can truly be called art. You WILL NOT regret adding this title to your collection.

Il Gatto Sul G is unique among yaoi titles in the fact that it demonstrates fantastic plot and artwork, as well as "lemon". The drawings are beautiful, and the characters are complex. Riya will leave you wanting to adopt a teenage boy from your local pet shelter. It has a great balance of ideas, and a good emotional and intellectual depth for the genre. Darker than Same Cell Organism, but fluffier than Loveless, I think every mature reader will find a great read in Il Gatto Sul G.

So refined. The art is gorgeous plus the story is intriguing. If you understand psychology and the way multiple personality disorder works than you will realize the author did their homework. Also and ofcourse if you are not into guys falling in love with guys than you will probably not enjoy this. I personally don't care who falls for who as long as the characters are emotionally engrossing and the story is able to hold my attention, this will. Volume II only gets better! It's so sexy, musically, erotically and subtly.

I'm not really into yaoi, but the storyline intrigued me to buy it. So I did and I read both volume one and two and must admit it's pretty good. But I've also realized that I do like yaoi. Maybe even more than my other manga. I can't wait for volume three! ~omega-rose

I've always loved Yaoi. Every chance I get, I browse any book store to find a new title or continue an old one. So naturally, when I saw this one, I jumped to it and started to read. The cover art is truly beautiful in itself, and the art inside was amazing and flowed rather well. The plot itself is a bit fast paced and I'm sure a few yaoi first-timers may be flipping back a few pages and skimming over once or twice, and the schizophrenic Riya can be a bit confusing to determine once you realize his major problem, but the drama, intensity, and character connections will indeed keep you hooked. I couldn't believe I had finished, but when I did, I immediately said, "I must buy volume 2!!!" An overall wonderful story (though hard to pronounce title), I give this book a 4 1/2 out of 5 stars! Recommended strongly for fanatics.
