I liked a promise of romance as well. It was very cute n sweet. If u like cute romance story, its definitely for you. I also read the selfish demon king n Dark walker,(after frantically looking for a fantasy novel) But it wasnt as good as the first two haha Well i definitely recommend secret moon n a promise of romance.

Very very sweet. Considering Ai no Kusabi's cult status, it's pretty much a must-read. Kinda hard-core tho. And tragic, oh yes. Wish June'd print the new Japanese edition illustrated by Nagato Saichi... And did I mention tragic? Body Language, Don't Worry Mama, Like a Love Comedy and to a lesser extent The Man Who Doesn't Take His Clothes Off (in about that order) had me laughing mostly from the ridiculous set-up. Was it supposed to funny? I don't know, but you should probably avoid!! Selfish Demon King was a good kind of funny, however. Though I do wonder when they'll get round to translating v2. I like it but on the whole I was disappointed by Only the Ring Finger Knows. It's a sentimental kind of story, but there were small parts in the translation that I felt didn't carry well and the book layout itself was annoying at times (namely v3!) I mean, I know the paragraphs in Japanese are one sentence, but there was no need to have the indents and margins so large they took up one line + one word = two lines! The page was seriously half-empty at times... And after such a good build up in v4, v5 was a bit of a let down even if it was a very romantic finish that tied in well with v1. I haven't read Desire, Gravitation or Passion but you'd probably get a feel for the story from reading the manga. Anyway I do recommend Love Water by Tachibana Venio and the Cold trilogy by Konohara Narise, which are both excellent stories. The illustrations are pretty too~ For people interested in non-translated books there are the epic Fujimi Orchestra (ongoing!) and Mirage of Blaze series. I feel the Mirage of Blaze Kaikou-hen Mashiroki Zankyou prequels might be more interesting partly because they don't deal with 400 years worth of emotional baggage... That, and the interaction between the Yasha-shuu members before they've properly bonded is downright hilarious... ...Woah, that's a lot of writing... Hope it helps!
