This book is the typical yaoi plot. Man rapes hero, hero falls in love with rapist. This book goes even so far as to say there are different types of rape and some are better than others. I give it a second star only because this doesn't consume the entire book and is mostly devoid of sex for the most part. ( )

I decided to try a manga series since these books pass my way every now and then as steward of a Little Free Library. I hoped to learn about manga in general and see if it appealed to me. I picked up this series at random. To my surprise, the book was all about gay men with the protagonist being raped at the beginning by a moon spirit. After that initial shock, I continued to read the book and found it very entertaining. I even laughed out loud at some parts.

I'm now full of all kinds of questions about what I saw and didn't see in this book, but I'll ask my family and friends who are knowledgeable about manga regarding those details. I'm not sure how much of what I saw is common to all manga and how much is innate to this author or to this particular series.

I enjoyed this story enough to want to continue to read through the remaining three books in the series that I have in my possession. I also found someone else who is familiar with this author, likes this author's works, and wants to read my books when I'm finished.

What this book did for me was to inspire me to seek out, read and learn more about manga. I think this experience should be fun! ( )
