Is Gankutsuou a romance?!
Question: It is not yaoi although the yaoi fangirls were all over it (but they will make connections between any male characters in any series regardless of the actual story)
The series is a version of "The Count of Monte Cristo" so while there are elements of romance the main themes are betrayal and revenge.

a ganku what?
No, it isn't. There is some involved, but it is not the crux of the storyline. That is revenge.
well, Lady Macbeth just said it all ^_^
Gankutotsuou is basically the anime version of the classic french novel about betrayal and vengeance "The Count of Monte Cristo" written by Alexandre Dumas, who also wrote "The Three Musketeers".
btw, this novel was also made into a couple of movies...
