Publisher Description
Bewitched by a spell that makes him popular to individuals of the same sex (!!) and leads him to chase his enchanter - the moon spirit Ixto - the chagrined Ryuka persecutes himself for being unable to make his body do what he wants it to! Instead, his convoluted romance with Ixto rollicks to the next level! The two play at being lovers to obtain a treasure that just might help them break the curse that further complicates the relationship between Aldin and Ral, whose master-servant love is already troubled by the pair's difference in status! How far will the merry band of misfits have to go to make sure that love prevails?!
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.
