Boy's Next Door

 

One of the most beautiful and also sadnest mangas I know! It's from Kaori Yuki, who also draw Angelk Sanctuary, Count Caine and Kaine!  Boys Next Door is only one volume, but that isn't true, because in the manga there are three little stories told. Boys next door, is the first story in the manga, after this there are a story about vampires and a love story (these two are a bit older... you can see on Yukis style!). I want to present Boys next door, this time. 

I don't use an introduction or a character desribtion, because the manga is very short, all together maybe 100-150 pages! So I only try to sum the story...

The manga really starts with the end of the story, and in a long flash back, the story is told. A blond man sit on a bed and hold a dead boy in his arms. 

This pic goes around the news and TV, and soon after the proceeding versus the 27 years old Adrian started... 

Flash back...

Another young streewalker became victim of the murder Adrian, who look totally confused at the dead boy he killed, until Lawrence appears behind him. But the boy didn't say anything, and Adrian flee. But the man lost an pendant, which Lawrence found, and because of it Adrian can be catch as the murder...

Afterwards Lawrence appears in front of Adrian, who is an teacher. Adrian is very suprised to see the boy, and he also have to see, that the boy has the pendant and that Lawrence know about his killings. But Lawrance give him only a match box, whisper something to him and run away. 

 At the same evening Adrian is in front of a boy brothel and recognize, that Lawrence is a streetwalker. The owner of the brothel is Lawrence brother Dalas (this guy is really the worst -_-;)  With the help of the match box Adrian can enter and found Lawrence soon after. Although Lawrence has a "custumor" he went outside with Adrian. The man offers Lawrence money and wants his pendant back, but the boy doesn't react to him. Adrian become more and more nervous and take the pendant from the chain. But this isn't the true one, and when Lawrence show him, where the right one is, Adrian run away.   

At the same time, Galas isn't happy, that one person murders his boys and he wants to know, who is responsible for this. Lawrence and Adrian meet each other the next day, when the boy help Vick (a little girl), with money (Vick tried to steel something, and was caught), that Adrian forgot the last night.

Adrian takes Lawrence to his home and they talk with each other. When Lawrence offers Adrian his money, he puul the confused man towards himself. The two come close and slept with each other.

In another flash back, the reader get to know the whole past of Adrian (well I don't say anyting... so buy it on your own!!). Adrian awakes from his nightmare, and Lawrence has to do his best to comfort the crying man. 

The next morning the boy is alone, Adrian has to go to school. They meet each other in the afternoon, and be seen by Raimund ( a man from Dalas), who recognize Adrian as the murder (when Lawrence found the pendant and saw Adrian, he also has been there!). Lawrene is taken to his brother, but he didn't want to help him and swallow the false pendant...

Afterwards his brother beat up Lawrence give him drugs and his men rape him. When Adrian comes home this evening he recognize, that something's worng with Lawrence. He embrace the boy and wants to know what happens, but Lawrence doesn't speak. Instead of it he aim with a gun at Adrian. Now Adrian went crazy and kill Lawrence. The boy kiss him on last time, and die.  

End of the flash back. Adrian is condemn and has been taken to an institution (because of his past). A few month later, Adrian sits on the top of the hospital (in Japan, they haven't so much room ^^) Suddenly he sees Lawrence with many balloons at the edge of the railing. Adrian runs towards him and jumps into death... 

Wai.. this dtory is really beautiful and so sad! But I love it... so if you want to see some mor pics, go to the little Gallery, I made ^_-
