Yayoi Neko

Judas is a mortal who has been having some very racey dreams. He is in love with his professor Mr Belgian, but it is completely unrequited. In his dreamworld though is another man, one he does not know. Things there are very steamy and although in life Judas is a virgin, in his dreams he is anything but as he tries to resist his dream lover.

His dreamworld spills into his reality though when the man from his dreams turns up in reality. He is an incubus who is attached in some way to Judas. show more He finds it really hard to resist his sexual urges which only frightens Judas more. Judas has a soul unlike the incubus, Lenniel, but Judas' soul is not sealed like other humans and other supernatural beings can steal it from him for their own purposes. This means further complications as Judas is attacked by an Ifrit demon.

This was a great introduction to the series. It focuses on the sexual aspects of the story with an introduction to the main plot. It is not for those who are easily offended as with it being manga the sex scenes are very visual and are quite explicit in places. It isn't porn, it is a sub type of manga called Yaoi manga which is Boy's Love manga aimed at girls. It is often written by women and is different from Man Love manga which is aimed at gay men. There is also a bonus story at the end of this, Weapons of Mass Destruction. show less

The third volume in the series sees lots more plot and a lot less sex. There is much more from Kent, an Ifrit, and his Young Master (introduced in the first volume). We learn more about their relationship and the nature of the Young Master's accident and why he cannot regain consciousness. Lenniel gets involved and does his best to help the situation in the hope that Kent will team up with him to protect Judas.

There is a lot more talk about souls and why the different supernatural beings show more want Judas' unprotected soul so badly. It also discusses reincarnation which is pretty out there when compared to the sexy first volume! There is still some sex, but it is by far the most plot driven of the three.

This is my favourite of the series so far and really advanced the story.It also introduces some new characters and I am looking forward to seeing what happens next. At the end of the story is a little aside from the author which really touched me. I even emailed them afterwards to say I hope things are improving as depression is a horrible thing. It may be some time until the next in the series, but I hope it does get finished at some point. show less

This is the last published volume of the series (although hopefully more will be coming sometime in the future... there are a lot of cliffhangers in this one). Kent and his Young Master (come to think of it, have we ever learned this guy's name? I'll have to go re-read the books) get to take the spotlight in the first half of this book, with Lenniel popping in for a while to show off more of his powers. In the second half, it's back to Lenny and Judas, and some very heavy revelations all show more around.

Yayoi Neko's art continues to astound, and I desperately wish there was another book for me rush out and buy so I could find out what happens next... show less

The second installment in this series, the story of Judas and Lenniel continues. We get some glimpses into the psyche of Judas, and Lenniel's sister shows up to convince him to come back to their world.

Yayoi Neko's art continues to rock my socks... with one little exception. Y.N. can draw sexy men all day long, but when it comes to creatures of the feminine persuasion, the form gets a little wonky. It is obvious which gender she spends the most time working on, as the women tend to look show more sort of like scaled down men with lumpy chests... show less
