Beschreibung des Verlags
Enchanted by the Spirit of the Last Quarter Moon to follow in his
footsteps, the beleaguered young Ryuka discovers en route that all kinds
of men (with varying degrees of morality) are attracted to his body
like bees to honey. But despite Ryuka's initial resentment of and rage
at his fate, his feelings for the moon spirit Ixto are softening into
something like...possibly...love? That said, finer feelings won't make his
trials and tribulations on this lengthy journey any easier! Standing
between Ryuka and Ixto is the door to the moon, a stolid, unmoving thing
said to open only if certain conditions are met. However, completing
this quest will put the chastity of both Ryuka and his traveling
companions on the line! At this rate, will Ryuka even make it to the
moon in one piece?
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.
