Review written by Loneli AND Jennadesu (<3)

To start off, I always pondered starting this anime since I thought it's going to be yaoi. I have nothing against the LGBT community but I was just never interested in yaoi/yuri. My weeb friends watched it and they said it was good so I thought I would give it a try. I was instantly hooked by the gangs and fights. Spoiler Warning:

I'll give a quick, not very accurate summary . So basically our main character is Ash who is involved in gang activities since unfortunately that's how he was raised. The setting is in America, where Ash meets Eiji, if you didn't already know hes from japan and hes the lover but hes useless, and Ash grew up with mental and physical scars. He has been through child prostitution and other fucked up shit. This is all based on our opinions, dont get triggered. Moving on, there seems to be a lot more cons than pros but the anime is still amazing.

Pros:
For those who love action, this would be perfect for you since it was so action packed. For the most part, it was all serious but comedy was a good windbreaker from all the tension. This is also about loyalty and friendship. For all of y'all who like emotional stuff, this is for you. This anime brings attention to child trafficking and child prostitution. Many people are ignorant to this serious issue and this anime did a really good job showing how bad this topic is.

Cons:
Ash Lynx was a victim of children prostitution. Many people are discouraged by the main theme of yaoi, which is a central part of the storyline. There's no variety since every character you are introduced to are GAY, every single one. Not to mention, most of the time when you are introduced to FEMALE characters, they are killed off or used for comedic purposes (barbara LOL). Another thing, some people might be asking is why Ash is so protective of Eiji. Ash has gone through so much already. Witnessing the death of Skipper and couldn't do anything. Not being able to save his own brother and father. Having to shoot his best friend because he was drugged, rest in peace shorter <3. He doesn’t want to lose anyone close to him anymore. Ash feels the need to fight for him in order to not lose another loved one. Eiji was his last hope.

I thought that it was unnecessary to kill off ash at the end. He lived through everything for what? Just to die of a stab wound in the library in the middle of reading a letter that could of been evitable? That’s quite disappointing if you ask me.

I really recommend this anime. Enjoy if you decide to watch it!
