Loveless
Loveless, officially stylized as LOVELESS in Japan, is a popular shounen-ai manga and anime series. The manga, authored by Yun Kouga (高河ゆん), has been published in Japanese magazine Comic Zero-Sum since 2002. It is not finished yet. In 2005 Loveless was adapted into a 12-episode anime series.
The protagonist of the series is a twelve year old boy Aoyagi Ritsuka, who lost his memory two years ago. The only person who loved and cared about Ritsuka was his older brother Seimei, but after Seimei's mysterious death Ritsuka is left all alone, with an exception of his mentally ill mother.
Ritsuka transferres to a new school, when he meets Agatsuma Soubi. Soubi, first introduced as a friend of Seimei, claims he was Seimei's "Fighter". To Ritsuka's surprise, Soubi says he would now fight for Ritsuka and serve him.

Tsuki no KAASU
Tsumetai yume no naka de.....
Kotoba no nai sekai de bokura wa ai wo kataru
Itsuka kimi ni todoku made
Kizu darake no kaina de dakiyoseta kuchibiru no
Haritsumeta negai tokashitakute
Nee aishiatta kako no utsukushisa sutesareba
Ashita motto kirei na yaoru e yukeru kara
Tsuki no KAASU

Itami wo mada shiranai kodomo dake no yarikata de

Dokomade yukeru
