I am not actually completely rational about this series, because it's such a direct hit to my id, but I love it dearly. I will say, one of the nice things about it is that the mangaka is very aware of the tropes she's using and does not play them absolutely straight. The whole mess is just a wonderfully awful knot of misery and obsessive love. And Klaus, the seme, hits much the same part of my id as White's Lancelot.
(There's also a bunch of sweet, creator-authored doujinshi, some of it set pre-canon and probably not AU, that I'd recommend very highly. I know they're up on mangafox and can be downloaded at nihonomaru, and if you want them untranslated and in hard copy experience shopping this spring suggests most Mandrakes will have some of the stories.)
