This story is a hot mess, like mainlining libidinous crack. It starts off with two rejected suitors for a couple now embroiled in father x son incest, all living together under the same roof. I mean, W! T! F!!! Rejected suitor #1, Rai, soothes his ego by sinking into BDSM club depravity and raping his would-be rescuer, rejected suitor #2, Mamiya, followed by regret, a crisis of conscience and a weird act of contrition for which the only response available to Mamiya, according to this strange logic, is pity and ever greater concessions to more sexing up. I mean, there is nothing wrong with the contrition, atonement and redemption. Those are actually wonderful themes for a story. It would just hit the heart a little closer if Rai weren't such a damned Gary-Stu, with a wildly unrealistic resolution to his issues with Mamiya, and if Mamiya weren't such a pushover. There are a lot of complaints in the comments about the feminine appearance of the characters, but they really do look like Visual Kei rock stars or hair band stars, who had that feminine quality about their style. After that brain-mush, the end leaves readers hanging. Yet, there is something quite weirdly fun about this strange, strange little story. If you can overlook the many, many things that really stank and were a pure splooge-fest, it was lively and entertaining, like Todd Haynes' Velvet Goldmine or Baz Luhrman's Moulin Rouge (except for gays.) SSSSSPPPPPLLLOOOOOOOOOGE! That is all.
I enjoyed it, a bit confusing though. This book is about Reion×Mamiya, I have to check if there are any other books that complete this story, or a previous one about Kazui×Kei. Prequel is 'Koi ni Nattara'.
