Review 130: Take Over Zone


Art: 9
Plot: 9
Characters: 8.5
Sex: 7

Another difficult one to judge, although this one I liked in spite of that. This stars a guy who used to be a great runner but quit the Track Club due to molestation by his coach. Then in high-school he gets inspired to join a new Track Club, where he meets a serene but cold upperclassman who doesn't seem to like him much. But their relationship grows closer until he discovers that the upperclassman actually likes him... a lot. Thankfully, the upperclassman is truly a kind-hearted person, and he doesn't rush the guy. This yaoi has a lot of Track Club action - as in running relays and all that - as well as many cute romantic scenes.

The art is very nice - I loved the different looks for all the club members, and the expressions and emotions were done well.

The plot, as said above, was pleasing and adequately exciting.

The characters are very likable and diverse, which makes for a more enjoyable story overall. The main character and upperclassman-guy are my favorites. Very good.

The sex never technically occurs, unless you count the flashback to the molestation - which I don't. For once, such a thing is treated with the seriousness it deserves, and it does not strive to seem pleasurable.

All in all, 33.5/40. Not bad!

Recommendation: If you like sports-oriented yaoi.
