The touching story "Othello" makes this worth getting. July 3, 2007

This is a collection of 4 stories. As there is no explicit sex this collection may be classifed BL but 3 of the stories have a mature theme and not the usual sweet boy love.
My favorite is the same titled story "Othello" which is much more captivating than that depicted by the summary. Ayumu is a complicated teenager with a tragic past. Forced apart from his mother and twin brother since childhood, this abused young man may now has a second chance in life. But would he take it or continue the downward spiral in his life as he seduces men and uses his body to get what he wants. His struggles with his own identity as he tries to act like his twin in school and as those around him measure him against his dead perfect twin is very well expressed. Kirishima, his classmate and love interest, is a very interesting character and I wish the mangaka has written more on him.
"Snow White" which is the mangaka's first attempt at BL is sweet and cute.
The 3rd story on a reporter assigned to write a story on a dead painter is bitter-sweet and a trifle dark. Wish this is longer.
The 4th one is a fantasy on a sex demon sucking up men's essence and this one is soft Yaoi but too short to be effective, which is a pity.
Finally this mangaka's artwork is really pretty and this anthology is worth buying just for the story "Othello" alone.
