This manga series is definitely one of the most intense I've ever looked through. The "look" of the characters is very shoujo, and a little more- it takes a bit of getting used to. However, it is very good for portraying the passion that this series is about. Take a look.
By the way, I have some Zetsuai Postcards on Ebay for auction (ends sometime on the 5/23/00!) so take a look =)

This is Koji Nanjo. He is the protagonist of the story, and is also the
more dynamic member of the relationship between him and Takuto Izumi- seen
here--
-- Takuto is the more passive one, in that he is the one being desperately chased by Koji. However, that doesn't mean that Takuto doesn't want Koji either... in fact, probably just the opposite. This is really evident in the later mangas, especially during the more rough and passionate scenes.
As you see here,
the two of them can look really nice together...

This is from the cover of Zetsuai volume one.
Zetsuai Volume 2 has Takuto on the cover-
Here are some favorite b&w scenes from the manga- I'm warning you, if you don't like the idea of male-male love, don't look here... actually, if you don't like the idea of yaoi homosexual love, what the heck are you doing in here in the first place? =)
Oh yeah- these scans will probably be spoilers- Don't say I didn't warn you!
And Here is a link to my fanfic page... got some Zetsuai 'fics up.
New! Zodiac Has MOVED HERE- Please check it out, and tell me how you like it- added new pics! ^_^
New!- I also have a new BRONZE Gallery- Bronze is the sequel to Zetsuai...
These covers are the ones I really love. Stark and pale, yet portraying intense passion, the "Desperate Love" between the two really shines through. Blood and love is a theme running through the series, and these really show it off.
Takuto and Nanjo, white on white. Blood and eyes of rage. All of it so eloquently shown here in the 4th manga cover.
And here, in the 5th manga cover, the infamous tears of blood- this is really evident in the Cathexis music videos too, especially in 20xx Zetsu-ai, which I don't have... *sigh*
This page isn't really meant to be an image gallery. It's more like a quick attention-getter, before you go somewhere else for (lots more) info. If you want to know more about Zetsuai 1989, and Bronze- After Zetsuai 1989, go to the Psycho Shonen Instructional: ZX Zetsuai 1989 Bronze page, which has tons of info, as well as links and movies (that's where I got to see the 20xx Zetsu-ai music vid- really cool!) Another great link is the Minami Ozaki Fan Page & Gallery, which has lots of info on Minami Ozaki, who is the creater of Zetsuai, as well as pictures.
Oh, and if someone can translate the manga series for me, more that the rough idea I got from the pictures (pretty as they may be), please e-mail me! The general gist is nice, but what the heck they're saying is even nicer! =)
