Amazing, absolutly amazing
I just received this book last night. It was a longer read than most manga I own. I know nothing about this mangaka, but I will be buying anything else I can get. It was THAT good.
The art - I don't even know where to begin! The realistic characters, the beauty of them? This book has that. None of the characters look too much like another. This artist knows how to draw a variety of body types. The seme is tall and built, of course, but the uke isn't some wimpy girl-in-guy-disguise type. He can (and does) take care of himself.
The sex scenes are well drawn and tasteful. There are plenty of them! The way the relationship happens makes sense.
The parents' reactions are great! If I had to pick one part to be unhappy with, it would be that the relationship was accepted too fast. But that's nit-picking. Trust me, you won't mind how that part is dealt with.
There are little bits at the end, and they are actually my favourite parts.
It's been a long time since I found something I was this thrilled with... In fact, Viewfinder was probably the last thing that I fell this hard for!
The art style is clearly that of the Korean school, rather like Let Dai, or Totally Captivated.
This is well worth your time. GET THIS BOOK! You won't be sorry.

The seme is sooo hot... *drool*
I really, really like this title. Its about 2 childhood friends who are secretly in love with each other. The uke tries his hardest to seduce the seme and the seme tries his hardest to resist the "innocent" uke. With a little gossip their relationship starts and they go through the trials and tribulations of a gay relationship. Examples include the parents finding out, guilt over stealing ones chance at a "normal life", jealously,etc. Really angsty stuff. It is also insanely funny, the art is absolutely gorgeous, and the characters are both really likable. The only complaint I have is that some parts were a little harder to follow first time I read it but it was easy to fill in the blanks on my second go. So don't let it deter you.

This one surpasses my expectation. Lovely!
This Korean Yaoi really surpasses my expectation. Revolving round a pair of childhood friends, their developing romance is so well told, sweet, innocent, angsy, sexy and yet funny. Both Seyun and Yoojin are very likable and interesting characters.

Yoojin is such a hunk and a nice guy to boot. I like his devotion and steadfastness towards his uke. Nothing sways him from his love, not family tradition, not parents' disapproval. Seyun may be the pretty boy but appearance is deceiving. Far from being defenseless, he is tough. He has to be as he has to fend for himself from an early age when his parents burdened with debt do not have time for him. Yet he is the more vulnerable of the two when it comes to their emotional struggles. And each boy's own way of dealing with the emotional strain is such a nice contrast.

The plot is wonderful as it expresses the boys' romance and emotional struggles so well. We also have the parents' reaction to their relationship, from bewilderment to acceptance and support. You could not help but feel for the parents too. The meeting of both fathers is so funny but also tells us the depth of their friendship which is somehow lost because of unfortunate circumstances. And then there is the true friendship between Seyun and his few close buddies. One of them, with Mafia father and brother, is especially loyal but maybe it is more than loyalty but he is just clueless. Another close friend, flamboyant and whores for money, teaches Seyun all about sex with men but has his own sad story skillfully revealed in a few pages.
As for the artwork it is just gorgeous, the sex explicit and tasteful and I love the boys' physique. A great Yaoi from net comics.
