Twenty-three-year old Takaba Akihito is a young freelance photographer who takes pride in his work and seeks to get a major "scoop." After he takes photographs of the business dealings of crime lord Asami Ryuichi, Asami kidnaps and rapes him, beginning a sadomasochistic relationship between them as they find themselves continually drawn to one another. Fei Long, a rival Chinese boss who blames Asami for his father's death, takes an interest in Takaba, as well, seeking a way to get revenge.

This was... strange to say the least. It was recommended to me by a friend, who said that it wasn't a great show overall but it had some interesting aspects. If you're here and you are a.) a yaoi fan b.) a fan of fictional toxic relationships or c.) a fan of 'mafia' style anime, this review is for you.
First of all, I'll start by addressing the elements of the show objectively. The storyline starts off interesting, but it quickly delves into a realm of the unexplainable. Do police not exist in this world? Some may make the argument that this is a mafia AU, so the police are possibly corrupt. Cool, then why isn't that shown? It seems like a plot hole when it's blatantly not covered. In other aspects, it entirely skips over the plot that should be there and continues with the so-called 'rom…

This is a very interesting way to animate, that's for sure.
I will admit at first it seemed a bit bland in the beginning, but as soon as I found out about Takaba's job, it did pull me in. The audio wasn't extremely terrible, though I do admit their Chinese did not sound authentic. Then again, they're Japanese actors. The characters' designs were interesting, and I loved the style of this, an AniMix. I was surprised when I saw how little animation there was, but since it was different I found it just as good as a normal OVA.
Overall I'd say it is fair, though I'd think it'd be better with the Hong Kong arc (found in the manga, you should try to read it). I suggest the drama CD, makes it more lively.
Fellow fudanshi out.

This isn't actually an anime; as far as I can tell, there is little to no animation beyond mouths moving. Apparently this is called an 'animix'; instead of fully animated scenes what you'll see is cells being panned back and forth. The voice-acting is all right and the soundtrack is a little cheesy, but it can't be helped.
It is a nice extra to the manga, but that's all it is. Don't expect more of it! It would be awesome to see a full series of the manga one day -- it has a good story arc or two, especially the one in Hong Kong!
I did like that this animix included the omake scene of New Year's at the end. It's fun to watch and I suppose that makes it worth it.
