Title: Max (1 of 4 in Red Plastic Case) Pairings: 1x2 Circle/DJka: Ayanosuke Hazuki Date Published: 1996(?) Artwork: The characters faces are beautiful, but their bodies are rather..anorexic. Note: the sex scenes tend to be graphic and somewhat violent. Lots of fluids and barely concealed body parts in this series. And Heero is endowed like the seme he is *sweatdrop* **The characters are thin and remind me a bit body wise of the Bronze designs. Duo’s innocence and vulnerability are emphasized, as is Heero’s harshness and total seme-ness. His eyebrows are nearly as split as Dorthy’s are. Plot: Duo gets in trouble in class, ends up in the library, and has a run-in with Heero. Duo does something naughty in the library after Heero leaves. Later, they have violent sex, with plenty of blood and close-ups, and we're left with an angsty ending. **In this first volume, Duo’s high spirits nearly drive Heero crazy, so much so that he either wants to kill or have sex with his partner. Eventually, Heero takes Duo without waiting to see if Duo will even consent. Duo is made miserable by it. Opinion: There are so few 1x2, let alone graphic 1x2, that this is a rarity in and of itself. I love the angst and the way she draws Duo's face. Just keep in mind, you're getting a very well-endowed Heero and a hurt, angsti-fied Duo as well. **Despite the non-consensual aspects, Duo’s pathetic-ness, and the fact that Heero is a real rotter, I liked this DJ as part of the larger set that tells the story of Duo loving Heero and Heero fighting his attraction for Duo but failing.
