Summary: Joey has been undercover since he graduated high-school at the age of eighteen. Does he get to relax after his last assignment, of course not he winds up protecting Seto Kaiba from a stalker.
Review: This story is pretty standard fare as far as the plot goes. It follows the standard "Bodyguard" cliche. Mokuba hires Joey to protect Seto because Seto refuses to seek official protection. Because Seto thinks Joey is a criminal who needs a job in order to stay out of prison Seto agrees to let him act as a Bodyguard. Joey saves Seto's life multiple times and they fall in love.
What keeps this story from being to hum-drum is all of the details Suiyou packs into it. She really did her research and it shows. Almost every chapter teaches you something about Japanese Culture, the prison system, or even interior design, while still advancing the plot. This amount of information really keeps you immersed in the plot, because all the information you need to understand what is going on, is given within the context of the story. This means that even if you barely know anything about the Yu-Gi-Oh fandom, its worth giving the story a shot.
While I found the characters a bit OOC in some parts of the story, the fact that the story takes place years after the series, and is completely AU, keeps any breaks from character from being too jarring.
