Attractive artwork and an intriguing plot are no compensation for a distasteful subtext that gay men are predatory and paedophilic. ( )

Charming, fluffy, pointless pretty fun. ( )

Goh and Taki are some kind of 'good thieves'. They steal mostly drugs from the bad people. They don't know much about their employers, but there are hints that they are hired by the police. As such the story is quite action packed and Goh and Taki have to avoid some pretty dangerous situations. But as a team they can rely on one another.

On the personal level it's a little bit more complicated as Goh is gay and Taki straight. But that doesn´t keep Goh from trying his luck with Taki, but at least in volume 1 of the Yellow series with little success.

Yellow has an excellent story and the drawings are gorgeous. There's also a lot of humor in this series. Overall an excellent yaoi. ( )

Yellow is an excellent yaoi series. The art is very good and the story action packed. Goh and Taki work for the police, stealing drugs from the bad guys. Part private investigators, part mercenaries, Goh and Taki are young and hot. Goh is gay, and hot for his new partner Taki. But, Taki is straight. Isn't he? Goh has fun with other conquests, while continuing his pursuit of Taki and solving their cases. There is sex, but it's never graphic. Hard yaoi fans may be slightly disappointed, but as a yaoi title this is more developed than many. ( )

Yellow has elements of Skyscrapers of Oz or Get Backers in that the main characters are discreet "snatchers". They take on jobs to recover people or things (mostly drugs) from tricky situations and aid 'the good guys'.

There's humor without silliness and emotion withou melodrama. It's a pretty serious action and mystery story, but there is a lot of teasing between Goh and Taki. I enjoy their banter and the way they work together as a team. The artwork is gorgeous. ( )
