Rules revolves around characters Yuki and Hikaru, who had developed a relationship after Yuki came across Hikaru to relieve his sexual tensions.

The story, as i see it, has been carefully thought through. Even the psychology of the plot and the actions the characters took seemed real enough that it could be happening in reality. The various conflicts of emotions and interests give this series are really interesting edge. It's like the things that went in this manga could have happened in real life. I'm not really bothered with how much angst there is, because in reality, i know people act like that even if read more

xD I don't understand the report with Nana...
Not music in Rules... just romance Gay (so.. Yaoi!)

But rules is a very great history !
We can follow how characters becomes gays and it's very interesting and realist ! (for once...(severals yaoi not realist on the conversion hetero -> gay =/))
And the graphism is gorgeous ! =3
Reading urgently =p !

It keeps the slice of life bit very closely along with struggles the characters have to face as gay men. It's very intense and deals with the possible contraction of AIDs, not for the week hearted (you may want to bring a box of tissue).
Rules is extremely similar and as good as Nana is. Set in Tokyo, the story revolves arond four boys and their relationships with each other and the world in general. Both are slice of life- realistic mangas with a lot of drama, angst and complex characters. Consider Rules a gay version of Nana, with even more angst!
