Along with glorious eye candy, the story & content is very interesting. It goes over things like caste systems, mental illness, brutality, sexuality & much more. This is also one of the first series I've read where male characters who are very feminine are actual total bad asses. They not only have strength & skill in things such as fighting - but also are able to control people emotionally to handle a situation or get what they want. It's a nice combination of comedy, human darkness, gore, and action. It sets up a charade of what you think is going to happen, then it's something you never even expected, or it even twists further the lie.
It's very entertaining & while it does have a story line, it breaks off into side stories (that aren't fillers, amen hallelujah), which give you a feel of the characters backgrounds, emotions & traits. That being said, I'm not wanting to murder myself over a never ending story that draws out until i'm 85 & close to death. Each chapter combines to become this good ol' ball of awesome (aka a captivating complex story).
Regardless of gender, this manga provides a lil bit of everything for people to enjoy. Definitely worth a read!
