An Even More Beautiful Lie (Yaoi)

I've read this book three times hoping my viewpoint on it would change but it still hasn't. The book is mediocre partly due to the pacing of the translations, but I'll keep an eye out for this mangaka's future work. The paneling got better as the story progressed though and the art is gorgeous, but I just couldn't get into it as much as I wanted to.A little more about the characters: you have Kurosu, the cool, mysterious, care-free, and not so artistically gifted guy attending the same art school as Yukari; an absent-minded and aloof person with a passion for painting, who meet and slowly develop feelings for one another that both parties have difficulties comprehending at first.There is also a hint of a darker past for Kurosu that wasn't further explored, so you're left guessing about him as a person, and a little delving into Yukari's sad childhood that explains his behavior that if were fleshed out, would've not only added depth to the characters, but improve the story since their sweet, innocent, and new relationship had so much potential for growth.All in all, the book description does a great job describing the story since that's practically how it develops. It isn't heavy in H scenes; it's pretty light (though there is an interesting scene in there), and the feel and art style is very similar to Takarai Rihito too, so if you're a fan of hers, you may enjoy this a lot more than me.

I’m not exactly sure what happened with my copy but something seems very wrong. The book is fuzzy like it was scanned badly. There are way fewer pages than there should be and the story doesn’t really make sense. I’m pretty sure when I bought it, it said 200 pages just about but I got 26. There seems to be huge plot holes, probably from the missing pages. Everyone raves about the artwork but my copy doesn’t even have any full page pictures. It may have been a decent book but it seems like the publisher may have ruined it. Sad to say I won’t be buying anymore books from these people. The artist might be great but I have no idea what I actually received.

The manga was pretty interesting the only problem I had with it was the constant holes in the plot and how much the artist pushed the storyline it completely destroyed the full experience besides she draws the rape but does not draw enough love scene

the art work was very pretty, and I'm glad about that. The story was interesting kind of the reverse really. They sleep together then slowly build up a relationship. There's a hit that one of the characters might have a darker past so I enjoyed to subtle hits. Nice.

I was excited to read this as soon as I got it and was not at all disappointed. Its an adorable story line, with wonderful art. I must say though it may take a couple reads to fully catch it all but, that makes it even better because it doesn't become dull after the first initial read. I think this is a must-have for any otaku girl's collection!

I like this book alot. It's not that hardcore, but it's more then softcore, basicly it's like a 7 (10-1, 10 being hardcore and 1 being softcore). When vol. 2 coming out?! basicly It needs to be a 10 <3 YFG!

The artwork in this manga is good in my opinion but the story to me wasn't all that exiting but since I have a love for yaoi, I give it four stars.

I liked it a lot. It's like romantic but just with the right amount. Thanks for making it wonderful. 😊

The overall story and art are nice, but many parts are slightly vague, obscure, unclear or confusing. This may be due to the translation; although it seems fine, the original Japanese may be clearer. It was a decent read.

It was ok. It wasn't like an amazing book. It's incredibly easy to read. I was reading this book on a car journey
