Kat Dammit, I feel the need to rave about how absolutely gorgeous this is! GORGEOUS.

Thanks so much for pointing this one out!

Kynthos-the-Archer (Kyn) You are most welcome. I just feel the need to share the beauty of this novel cum graphic novel. And why I feel it's worthwhile to buy the paperback eventhough it's quite pricey (and hide it under my drawer of knickers).

Here's several others I dare not post here on display.









This book is so anatomically correct and has uber sexy drawings.


message 4: by Kat (new) - rated it 5 stars

Kat I keep stumbling upon teasers on Tumblr too.I usually stay away from yaoi because I don't like the more, how do I put this, "childish" graphics. But this blows me away. So in love with this style. :D

Amazon says volume 1 has 200 pages, so there are multiple chapters in that one? Should I just get the first volume for starters? (not even sure if there's a 2nd volume yet)


Kynthos-the-Archer (Kyn) Actually, I am quite confused by their website too -

But the paperback I've bought does have 200pgs - this is the one I bought -

It does seems like there are several chapters in that Vol.1 alone. I think you could just get that paperback of Vol.1 to start if you want. But the bookstore I bought mine from no longer has the stock it seems. You might have to check elsewhere for it or from the author's main sales website -


message 6: by Kat (new) - rated it 5 stars

Kat I've ordered the individual chapters in ebook format via Kobo. Still want to have the paperback too, but I'm too impatient!:)


Kynthos-the-Archer (Kyn) Wow, you bought it already? Those digital formats on Kobo doesn't come cheap either. Hope you will like it. Her art is to-die-for. Afterall, she did illustrations for Marvels comics and the likes.


Anna (Bananas) Quite a list there, Kyn. Not to mention your shelves. O.O


Kynthos-the-Archer (Kyn) Lol. You always get overwhelmed by my shelves. Lmao
But still drawn to it like a moth to flames. Ahahahaha

This one is a keeper kay. I wouldn't be surprised if one day her paperback version would become a collectors item. It's now becoming rare too. Not enough stock. I am happy that now she published it in digital version too. I am still gunning for the paperback tho especially itching to get her 2nd volume.

About my shelves, I have a couple of peeps wanting to friend me just for the shelves but I am not too sure I am liking it. Unless they mean to really interact with me and not just friend me and ignore me. I try to keep my friends list down for quality sake.


Anna (Bananas) I am quality. Keep me always.
Your shelves mesmerize, amuse, and inform. That's pretty awesome.
I must have it in paperback. I'll find a reasonably priced volume somehow, somewhere...


Kynthos-the-Archer (Kyn) You will always be special to me :)
And I am planning to read you rec When the Music Stops by John T. Fuller pretty soon too. Yes, I still remembers it cos it was your rec. And I've enjoyed your review of it.

I am now just unwinding and taking it easy for the moment hence my current fluffy-erotical-reading-spree. lol :P

Yes, do get this book in paperback if you could. It's a keeper in my book. I am just worrying tat I might not be able to get the 2nd book :(

Anna (Bananas) Oh, I still love love love that one. I was thinking of re-reading it today, so funny you should mention it.
Hey, I just found this below when looking up In These Words. A side story?



Anna (Bananas) Do you know if the color art examples are covers to single issues? The inside art appears to be black and white.


Kynthos-the-Archer (Kyn) Yes, only the 1st few pages or the book is in color. Those are like artwork/posters you have posted around. I think about 6 or 8 pages of it in color. Beautiful artwork.

The rest are in black in white as in any manga. Tat's manga for you. Unlike American graphic novels. Although it's in B&W it is still beautifully done.

Hey, I didn't know about tat side story. Now I am curious.


Kynthos-the-Archer (Kyn) Anna, here, I found a webpage with examples of how the book looked inside.

But mine does not comes with tat 2 bookmarks kay.


Kynthos-the-Archer (Kyn) Cool! look at Tam's review here:

Very detailed. And it would answer most of your questions about the book too.


Anna (Bananas) Thank you for the links! The girl in the first one made me laugh, she's so enthusiastic. The bookmarks are cute. I don't mind the black and white in this case because the drawing is so beautiful.
I just have to be careful that I get an English copy rather than one in Japanese. I found one on ebay and bid it but who knows if I'll end up getting it. It expires in 3 days so I have to keep an eye on it.

Kynthos-the-Archer (Kyn) Oh god. I am excited for you. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Let us know once you get it. So we could breathe better.

And yea, tat gal was gushing. Well I did tat too when I got mine. lol. This is what we called 'fangirling'.

Was tat copy you bid for marked as English version? Hope you get the right one.


Anna (Bananas) Yep, it was actually the only English version they had listed. If I knew Japanese I could have already bought it for $30. Damn American school system and its lack of varied foreign language classes.

It's sweet that you're excited for me. I'm excited for me too. :D


message 21: by Kat (new) - rated it 5 stars

Kat What if we end up getting our copies at the same day...oooooh I haven't been this excited about a "present" in a while, lol.


Anna (Bananas) Then, buddy read!!!
Somehow the rarity of it makes the acquisition that much more exciting....or we're just nerds. Could be that.

Kynthos-the-Archer (Kyn) We are nerds alright. No point denying it already. Just leave those specs on.




Kynthos-the-Archer (Kyn) Lo, I tot you already got yours? *confused*

You could have SO sold them to for $$$ to us desperate nerds. LOL.

I ordered one copy via Ebay, the other secondhand via Amazon. So one must show up eventually right? If they both show up, I'll probably put one up for sale again. It's not like I can giftwrap it for a random friend as a present..heehee!

I'm trying to find a resemblance. Maybe that's my "wtf is this" expression when reading Kyn's recs.;)


Anna (Bananas) *snort-laugh*

And Lo, if you end up with 2 copies, you better not sell to anyone else before me. I get dibs! This is assuming my ebay hook-up falls through of course.


Kynthos-the-Archer (Kyn) By the time Lo sells it, she will be able to cover for her other copy and make quite a bit of profit out of it too.

Maybe, I best lay low for a bit. Least you all come clobber me with your heels for scaring the shit outta both of you with my recs. lol.

Mischief managed. *goes off into hiding*

Da BEST! If you can, do try to get this book. It's one of a kind and I must say it's quite rare. Get it especially if you love dark noncon story.

Not sure yet. Cos now pending volume 2 to continue the story. They say shud be out next year.

If you favor HEA only then this might be difficult read for you. Tread with care. hehe

No, I like horror and books outside the real of romance. I would hate to think going in that this was a type of romance like Special Forces: Soldiers Part I -Director's Cut, and then find that it isn't a romance at all but horror.

Anna (Bananas) Chapter 9 is out!!


Kynthos-the-Archer (Kyn) Woot! Thanks. I hope the 2nd volume paperback would be out on the market soon.


Anna (Bananas) Are you not reading the single chapters? I thought you were for some reason.

You need to read THIS. Talk about wicked...


Kynthos-the-Archer (Kyn) Nope. I was holding back.
