I read <I>Boys Next Door</I>, although it is a yaoi manga, I think even people that don't like yaoi will enjoy it. And although this was only one book, I think it would have to be my favorite manga, ever.
The story is set in modern day(I think) Los Angeles, where a serial killer called the "Blindman"(because all his victims were blindfolded) has been killing young boys(most of them young prostitutes). The beginning takes place when "Blandman" is captured, the whole neighborhood is shocked to find out that it is <a href=http://www.vectorstar.net/~kizuna/kizuna/boys_next_door/adrian.jpg>Adrian Grey</a>, a 27-year old Elementry school teacher. When they discover that Adrian is "blindman" they also find his last 'victim' <a href=http://www.vectorstar.net/~kizuna/kizuna/boys_next_door/laurence.jpg>Laurence Hill</a>, a 14-year old prostitute.
At this point Adrian recalls back to the time where he fist met Laurence. Laurance had his per iguana's collar, which he had left at the scene of the crime. Laurence had seen him kill the boy and was now attempting to blackmail him. He tells him he will give him his iguana's collar back, in exchange for <I>freedom</I>.
And this is just the beginng of Adrian and "Laur's" love affair, which is only short lived.
While Laur tries to escape from <a href=http://www.vectorstar.net/~kizuna/kizuna/boys_next_door/dallas.jpg>Dallas</a>, his pimp. Adrian tries to help a young girl in one of his classes, <a href=http://www.vectorstar.net/~kizuna/kizuna/boys_next_door/vicki.jpg>Vicktoria "Vicki"</a> from experiancing the same traumatic childhood as he did.
And don't even get me started in Adrians childhood. Throughout the manga, he often experiances flashbacks about when he mother left him in the carnival. And then there's the thing with his mother's death... Oi.
And the end of it brings us back to the present time, where he has his trial, and then the things that happen after that... whoo
I've never had so much emotion while reading something, as I did with this manga. It was original, and in a way... Laur and Adrian had an almost <I>Romeo & Juliet-esque</I> love....
I know I suck at reviews, oh well....
