A running manga series and 12 episode anime created by Yun Kouga, ''Loveless'' follows the story of a 12 year old Ritsuka as he searches for the truth behind his brother Seimei's murder -- and, unexpectedly, inherits his brother's [[Battle Butler|Fighter Unit]], 20 year old college student Soubi, who in their first meeting declares nonchalantly that he loves Ritsuka, kisses him, and draws him into a world of spell battles, Fighters and Sacrifices. Ritsuka learns that he is "Loveless" (see [[Meaningful Name]]), and has a destined Fighter somewhere in the world and an as-of-yet unrevealed birthmark on his body of his "name".
Line 9 ⟶ 8:
Despite the considerable [[Boys Love|BL]] themes in ''Loveless'', the focus is more on relationships themselves and the dynamics between the people, be they straight, gay, or entirely non-romantic. Among other things, the series deals with very real situations such as [[Domestic Abuse]], childhood sexual abuse and trauma, and other "not for kids" issues. The series is also known for having [[Mind Screw]] aspects of epic proportions.
 
Formerly licensed in English by Tokyopop, currently{{when}} slated for a re-release and continuation by Viz.
