Lost Boys (Yaoi)

It was cute! And funny especially with Mizuki's method of rescuing Air & the interaction between the pirates and his first mate.

A cute manga for BL fans, but yaoi fans might want to look elsewhere

Yes, there is a different between BL and yaoi. Yaoi means that the manga includes graphic sex between two men, while BL has no sex, but focuses on the relationship between two men. Like the reviewer before me has said, this manga isn't yaoi. There is only one graphic part near the end of the book that does not come to a climax (hah, bad pun, I know). But the story itself, as just a BL, is rather cute. The art, for a BL manga, is very very nice (the quality of BL manga has been going downhill lately, so it's good to see something that looks so good and clean as this). The art gets five stars. The relationship in the story goes a little slow though, and might not suit everyone's tastes. There are a few short kisses, but other than that the story really focuses on the relationship between the two main characters building up and becoming strong. I thought the proclomation of love was a little harried and could have been done just a little better, but... This story is something I think a majority of BL fans will like. It just isn't as focused as some people might like. The characters are loveable though, and the plot easy to follow. I recommend it.

cute, but not really yaoi

A twist on the Peter Pan story that's cute and light-hearted, good for a beach-read. The artwork was fair, the characters lovable. However, it's much more like light shounen-ai than actual yaoi - the main story itself has nothing dirtier than a few kisses (which was rather disappointing...). There's a small side-story at the end about the pirates which borders on true yaoi; that is, until they're interrupted, and it makes you want to smack your head against the closest wall in frustration. So buy it for the light-hearted cuteness factor and (what I thought) was a nice take on the Peter Pan story, but if you're searching for something hard-core, or even soft-core, then look elsewhere.
