 Fascinating Story! July 5, 2008
Lord RenZie-Red Von TumAngGyerah (USA)
First of all its a Drama OK, in dramas they intended to mix it up. The art were Ok it supports the story. The story was amazing pretty interesting to me the way the characters react and their moods.
Everyone have different styles of understanding to something thats why humans are so unique to each other because we don't think the same like for those negative reviews that how they *review* the book. Give it a try, If your a Yaoi Collector like me and you didn't like the manga, just be happy you have the volume one to add on you collections so it will not hurt at all.
 Okay but won't get the other volumes December 31, 2007

Jazz, is in general a Like it or Hate it series. I fall in the, I didn't care much for it but didn't dislike it either category. It started off with a patient falling for his doctor, not too unreasonable. There was some non-con and a lot soul searching, nothing too much out of the Yaoi genre. What irked me was the overly Westernized way of speaking and calling peoples names. "Doc" this and "Doc" that. They should have just left it in the original Japanese, which may have been sensei. It reminded me of Passion where he kept on saying Sir.
 Typical yaoi drama (not a bad thing!) April 29, 2007

I got this today, finished reading it today, and ordered two more volumes today. I really liked this. Somehow the drama was...enticing. There were a lot of emotions flying around and undertones of romance. Seemed like it could end at just volume 1 like a oneshot, but the art is great and I really want to see how the characters and the story develop because they sure are under-developed in this volume. Yes, some non-consensual physical acts are displayed, but nothing particularly graphic (meaning you can't tell if anything is anatomically correct or not). Maybe someone who is more of a beginner yaoi reader or a boys love reader will want to shy away from this.

Angsty with issues of dubious consent or even non-con at the very beginning, if you can get past that the story reminds me of a girls teenage romance. The handsome doctor fixes the boy, the boy becomes infatuated/obsessed, dubious consent with doctor, doctor goes angsty, boy winds up actually in love with doctor, doctor is still angsty and leaves the country, boy chases after, angstily happily ever after. Very cliche story but the art work is wonderful impo and the story details are actually done in such a way that you don't notice the story is actually cliched because you are so drawn into the story and the atmosphere itself. If you have money to spare and your into gay romance, I'd say buy it.
much better than people say April 24, 2006

i'm kind of surprised that there are so many negative reviews to this, but most of them are people who are expecting something typically romantic and this book is much more unique and challenging (and thus interesting to me) than the usual schoolboy yaoi you may be used to. the summary is a bit misleading since the story is equally from the point of view of the doctor. yes, there is forced sex, but these issues are addressed and within the context of the story they add depth. what people are missing is what comes out in the later parts of the book: that the doctor feels cold and passionless throughout his life and his interactions w/ others, and so when the younger man came onto him he was somehow moved by the other man's passion. even though the man's love intimidates him, is dangerous, and is even on the edge of violence, it also somehow excites him and he finds himself drawn to the man's fire. i'm def. looking forward to seeing how this relationship progresses. for those willing to explore something out of the ordinary, this is a memorable book. for those looking for something familiar, skip this.
