Book Reviews of Jazz Volume 2 (Yaoi) (v. 2)
Book Review: A great continuation of this series
Summary: 4 Stars
I've noticed that a lot of people don't like the "Jazz" manga. To be honest, I don't understand why.
The art is not your usual style with big eyed cute bishies but that's what drew me to this manga at first. The style is rather distinctive, the males are truly males and not girls in disguise.
And the characters are rather appealing too. There is Naoki, an impulsive, sometimes childish, sometimes harsh student. His lover is the man who used to be his doctor. Narusawa is older than Naoki. He is lonely and mostly sad man who doesn't have anybody. Until Naoki literally chases him down. They are the complete opposites and they need each other more than the air for breathing.
The second volume of this manga is set mostly in the US where Narusawa works temporarily and Naoki studies at the U. Because of a misunderstanding something terrible happens between them. I've noticed that a lot of people are not able to overcome the violent scene between Naoki and Narusawa but I think it portrays their characters excellently. Naoki doesn't think of the consequences of his actions and Narusawa on the other hand is desperately trying not to lose Naoki so he is willing to forgive him literally everything. It shows how possessive Naoki is and how dependent Narusawa became on him.
I know that the aforementioned scene is not pretty. But it happens more often than we would like to. But manga readers don't usually want to see this reality. They want to see a world full of pretty people doing pretty things. I admire the authors that they were willing to take the risk and put something like that in their manga.
I will definitely buy the next book because this is a great series. Four stars out of five definitely.
