Awwwwww it's "Loveless"! this is the second BL I saw after Gravitation and one of the first manga I wanted to read after Angel Sanctuary and Tsubasa! Even just the mention of this title gives me a nostalgic feeling... I saw the anime more than 4 years ago

Time flies. 4 years ago I wasn't into BL. LOL I'm still not into shota/loli though. While the content is very on the edge of romance, I don't consider this BL.

It's difficult to figure out who is the most tortured character. Ritsuka who gets abused by his mother; or Soubi who got sexually molested as a child by his teacher, taught physical pain, and tortured into machocism by Seimei. They're personalities are bound to be messed up.

Urr, I still want to know why Ritsuka lost his memories. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if Seimei had something to do w/ it.

The anime was completed before Vol 5 was published, so they purposely left the ending open ended in case a second season was produced. The anime definitely leaned lightly toward BL, unlike the manga. It also didn't focus too much on the Ritsuka's abuse.
