"Sex and an insider perspective in exchange for a place to stay. That's the deal young prostitute Bun strikes with jaded detective Daisuke. But how long can their relationship last when they’re both insisting that it's Not/Love?" (quoted from DQ's website) I'm really looking forward to this release. This story made me teary (and I'm really rarely teary) It just has that quality to it. The characters feel kinda down to earth and realistic and the story is really good but kinda sad (let's put it in that section right next to Brokeback Mountain) The art has an airy casual simplicity to it that I find refreshing with the right story (because I usually like clean and dynamic lines with crisp black and white tones), the sex scenes are tender and not overly explicit. Overall it's just a really nice piece and another one of those good one book buys ^^ Yeah, please go check it out ^^ (it's already on my shopping list! ^^ XD) Chibi's rating ***** out of 5
