Publisher Description
After a night of serious boozing, a jilted young man named Ryuka speaks his wish for true love atop a starlit hill. His words reach the ears of Ixto, the spirit of the last quarter moon, who decides to grant Ryuka's wish. Unfortunately for Ryuka, Ixto's handpicked selections to be the young man's lover are all men themselves! And when his rejection of these choices leads to an unexpected night of passion that casts a spell on him, will Ryuka give in to his enchanted body's urge to chase after Ixto and journey through worlds unknown, or will his mind win over his heart? Critically-acclaimed boys' love mangaka Hyouta Fujiyama lends her copious talents to this wacky, role-playing fantasy-romance that will tickle your funny bone and tug at your heart!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Ryuka, in search of love, is trying to reach the Moon Spirit Ixto, and a series of chores have to be done before he can get there. Helping him, Ryuka has such things as a cat boy and someone who can transform back and forth between a human and a horse. This is a yaoi series, centering on erotic relationships between men, with a character named Widow the main exemplar, though his relationships are gratuitous and not based on love or affection. There are quite a few details and characters, causing some confusion those who did not read the first volume will have a hard go of it. Artwork for yaoi is often, though not always, drawn with finesse and beauty, so by comparison the art in this manga is quite basic. This is a light read and high fantasy mixed with some homoeroticism, and while parts can be confusing, the detail on folklore and spirits is fascinating.
