This has to be one of the best Yaoi titles available in English. I completely agree with the other reviewer. The story is so much more than the description suggests, and the artistry is beautiful. Even without Gerard's profile, he has more depth than most Seme characters. And, Jacques isn't the typical underdog uke (though he is naive). He is spoiled and has no appreciation for how "commoners" live.

One of the best bits of dialogue I have read in a Yaoi is when Gerard chastises Jacques for being pampered, even as a prostitute, when there are children younger than he who must sell themselves in "public toilets" to survive. And he, Jacques, was sold into prostitution because his father lived beyond his means for the sake of aristocratic pride.

This title is almost as good as Target in the Finder, but lacks the BDSM, which may appeal to more Yaoi fans. ( )
