First I have to say that I like the classical Japanese yaoi manga´s, but I also jump at any possibility to read a yaoi in a fresh setting. Like this one. The book consists of three stories.

The story 'Stallion' is set in the Wild West. Stallion (native american) and Josey (cowboy) both have enough reason to hate and want to kill Bill (no pun intended) (also cowboy), as they were both raped by him. But as they begin hunting Bill together they realize that there are more important things in life than revenge. I liked the story, even though the revenge thing is not new, but the drawings again are beautiful. I really like everything by KOSEN.

The second shorter story 'Eien' is about a vampire and a vampire hunter. The vampire hunter Ashen is hunting a vampire who has killed his father. Will he get his revenge and for what price? Again the revenge theme, but this time with a twist. Even though this is an older work by KOSEN, the drawings are already very good.

And the third story 'Cancellation of Darkness' is about a young men who is haunted by a demon. Kai is haunted by a demon since he was a little boy. Bradley, an expert in everything paranormal, wants to help him get rid of the demon and he succeeds, or does he? The drawings by Amelia Woo still seem strange to me at first, but as this is the second story by her I've read, I begin to like her style.

An overall enjoyable read with very good drawings. ( )

Kosen is a Spanish studio, so this isn't Japanese Yaoi Manga, and it isn't laid out in the traditional right-to-left, Japanese format (disappointing).

Still, I found it very good. The two main characters are both victims of rape by the same villain--and they both want revenge. Will they let revenge overcome their growing feelings for one another? This did have explicit sex (though no genitalia) including rape, but there was also a plot. Worth buying, even though it isn't up to the standards of Japanese yaoi like Embracing Love, Fake, or Kizuna. ( )
