Great global yaoi (M/M): I love the art and fantasy setting!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I really liked this story, and pretty much everything produced by this talented yaoi manga-ka. Yishan Li is one of my favorite Western /global yaoi artists (together with M.A. Sambre, artist of "Dark Prince"). Yishan Li's art style is exquisite, with clean and delicate lines. The fantasy setting of the story is very engaging, and sexy as well. No frontal nudity, but yaoi scenes are numerous, hot and passionate. And yes, I've read a lot of yaoi by Japanese and Korean authors/artists, many of which I also liked. But this is very much comparable to very good artists working in the genre, worldwide (i.e., including Japan and Korea). Highly recommended if you're looking for something beyond just "explicit", with sweet fantasy plot.
Amazing

This is by FAR the best manga put out by this site! The art is amazing, and the storyline is riveting. It keeps you wanting more, and also keeps you guessing! I love the main character. Just the way he's drawn and his characteristics are just amazing! I can really tell this is a well thought out story, but there is one thing I didn't like. I wish it were longer!!! The story in the back is also a bit short, and seems to be cut off (as if something is missing). It's a bit "gushy" and "romancy" but it's not so bad. I can't wait for the artists of this book's second manga to come out!
