Inhaltsangabe:
Ein Boys Love-Horror-Drama für Ältere, von der gleichen vielbegabten Feder wie Go for it, Nakamura!Oberschüler Hoshino Terumichi wird von einem wiederkehrenden Traum geplagt: Ein junger Mann, der ein Jahrhundert vor unserer Zeit durch die Hand eines anderen Mannes stirbt, den er "Sensei" nennt. Dieser Traum - oder Fluch - steht kurz davor, mit der Realität zu vercschmelzen als ein mysteriöser, attraktiver Klassenkamerad namens Yamada Omihito in Terumichis Leben tritt.
My opinion:
Reading 'Total Eclipse...' after Syundei's debut work is a little bit like watching a kids' show and then reading a grimdark fanfiction of it... but no, that's doing the volume a disservice.
Although this volume deals with quite different (and darker) themes, it ratains it's spiritual predecessor's style, strengths and weaknesses.
Like "Go for it..." the characters are intriguing, even though the conflict here is a lot more story-driven instead of character-driven. However, by picking a much wider scope, its status as a One-Shot becomes even more apparent. While quite a few murder victims are shown, only three appear in the present day and onyl two get a significant character outline.
Even so, the dynamic between Terumichi, his murderer and that other guy (sorry! :drop2: ) is well acted out both in the present and the past and had me hooked.
It may have been a bit rushed (or at least very fast-paced, but it was still very enjoyable. I hope we will get further licences from Syundei - next year, perhaps? Well, I'm pretty much guaranteed to buy all forecoming outputs~.
