Post’s Author Opinion:
Note: This is a personal opinion, it does not reflect YaoiOtaku’s official position towards the manga.
Brace yourself! “MODS” will take you on a emotional roller coaster ride of pain, angst and strong desires.
NATSUME Kazuki who’s speciality it is to write stories about fragile relationships, bestowes us with a tragic love story about two men who cannot be more different.
The basic mood of the manga is cloudy and dark. Though Nobatoras lighthearted character brings a breath of fresh air into the story. Also, did I feel some kind of emotional attachment towards Shiro’s character, because of how relatable his fears and emotions were depicted.
I know this lies in the eyes of the beholder but to be honest, reading this at first, the art just didn’t appeal to me. But in some kind of way, in combination with the story and personality of the characters it does have it’s beauty and Natsume Kazuki’s distinctive drawing style gradually grew on me.
I wouldn’t recommend this manga if you avoid dark topics like rape, drug abuse, prostitution etc. because those subjects turn up in every chapter. But other than that, this is a outstandingly good manga which is, without fail, worth reading.
