"Weiße Schokolade" has several segments within it, including a few precious parodies a la "I am a cat!" and "EWW! What the heck is this gunk all over my bugnuk?", "Brad is always so fashionable" and "That's one hell of a growth spurt...Omi" to pull out a few lines from the various parodies. In fact, the book is full of awesome parodies that were still within character relative to the parody, well drawn, and unique. The one-page specials like the Chibi School of Assassins, the Aya vs. Kenshin and Yohji vs. Chocola, to name a few, are wonderful compliments to the whole work. The pinups/portraits are just beautiful.

Among the more serious stories featured in the doujinshi is a fun yet sweet, but also angsty Schuldich X Yohji love story. Again, it is well rounded, something hard for a story teller to do sometimes and in a short period of time. It seemed a bit rushed at first and maybe some of the lines a tad forced, but it turned out well and the moments captured. I wish it would have been longer. This one was on the moderately explicit side. Also included is a Schuldich X Yohji X Ken story, in which Schuldich digs into the mind of an imprisoned Yohji trying to discover his secrets, which involve Yohji's supressed feelings for Ken along with the self-realization that he was also supressing Ken's efforts to communicate his own feelings to Yohji. No explicit yaoi in this one, but a bit angsty and dark. This one makes use of Christian symbolism which can be offensive to some, but Weisse Engeln did a very good job keeping it in good taste and seemingly realistic. I enjoyed both of these stories.

Though the doujinshi had several artists, and displayed the art styles unique to each artist, the quality was consistently beautiful thoughout. A lot of times when a doujinshi is drawn by several people or even more than one circle, there is the misfortune of having one part drawn beautifully and another part drawn in messy sketches. This is not so with this piece. Everything was gorgeous. Though not all the styles were ones I considered my favorites, it did not take away from my enjoyment of the doujinshi. Even the chibi-drawings were clean and well drawn as opposed to some scary looking chibi drawings in several other doujinshi that I can name. It has a professional appearance and is easy to read save for two frames that I could not read. The front cover is a glossy color image in soft colors, while the back cover is richly drawn in color. This one is truly a treasure in my collection and I am so happy to have it. I look forward to Weisse Englen's next doujinshi and I truly hope there is another one.
