Loved this series. It was the first manga I had ever read. Once of my favorites. ( )

Book Description:

Roy and Dee's new boss Caleb Rose has an agenda of his own and separates our heroes to new teams. Dee is assigned to work with foxy Diana Spacey, an FBI agent in town working on chasing down a serial killer. Commissioner Caleb Rose assigns Ryo to work one on one with him literally while investigating a human trafficking ring.

Can Ryo slip the Commissioner's grasp with out loosing his job and why is Dee coming out of a hotel with Diane? Ah, the heat gets turned up with a little jealousy being introduced. Dee hates the new commissioner and doesn't mind acting like a 2 year about it around Ryo.

Ryo oddly finds himself attracted to Caleb and can not fathom what it is that intrigues him. Ryo must figure out a way to elude Caleb's clever traps to get him alone. Diane is attracted to Dee but can't understand how he can not see how hot she is when standing she is standing right in front of him. At the same time Dee reminds her of someone she knows and can't quite figure it out.

Our favorite boys have several kissing scenes in this edition but not many with each other which causes the emotions between the two to fly high and unknown revelations are blurted out in the heat of arguments. We also find out more about Ryo's background and introduction to his parent's death which was first mentioned in book 1. This books signals new growth in Ryo's and Dee's relationship with a very touching chapter set on Christmas eve.

Bikky, of course, is in the sidelines keep Dee from making any advances with Ryo and when Diane suddenly becomes the target for the serial killer Bikky is there to save the day. In the final chapter we have the addition of two new characters Lai and Lass. Lai and Bikky both hate each other at sight and start competing to prove which is better but soon find that they are pretty equal in strength and skill. And then a bag up cash falls at their feet...who is going to get it?

My Review of the Series:

This series is a must for yaoi lovers. What more can you ask for? 2 cops one with a heart of gold and the other with a heart of passion for his partner. The story line is full of plots each chapter ties in well with the next. As the pages turn, the storyline grows-a nice variety of supporting characters are added in the mix to spice things up. And a wonderful selection of antagonists and triangle love interests (new and old) pop up. All which cause the main boys woes and worries, misunderstanding abound which lead to those wonderful kissing scenes we all love. The art work is good and the imagery is detailed. Ryo's mixed personality of innocent vs. seriousness charms you right off and Dee's devilish side enthralls while the sideline commentary makes you giggle.

[2007-05-13] 3rd of a seven part manga about two New York cops. On l_prieto's recommendation I picked up the volumes that were in stock in Bookbuyers, which happened to be 3,5 and 6, so I'm starting part way in. Interesting story so long as you don't demand realism, great semi-UST (semi, because there's some fairly intense kissing). I found it hard to keep track of what was going on at times, although I think that's largely down to coming in part-way through. The art shows them as adult men rather than very feminised or young, which is much more to my own taste than bishie boys. However, there's also a lot of the very stylised stuff, which I personally dislike. When the art's good, it's very good. Oh, and it has some seriously hot guys. Not sure yet if I like this series overall.

Adorable. Gay cop manga. A really nice mix of romance and cop story.

Wow, book three again was a fantastic read. The books in the series so far have all been great.

So, what happens in this book? In the first story Ryo and Dee have to investigate separate from each other, one has to chase a psychopathic murderer and the other a human trafficking ring. But both cases have more connections than either of them would have believed.

The second story is a Christmas story, in which we find out more about Ryo´s background. And there is a very sweet kissing scene. ;)

And at last there is another story with Bikky and Carol. Bikky finds a competitor in Lai, but both seem to be pretty equal in strength and skill. Maybe it makes more sense to combine their efforts? ( )
