does everyone want to rape and torture yuuri? and what is it with the total forgiveness afterwards? nobody as much as mentions it again. sorry, but all the smex in the world can't make up for idiotic plots (also, too much self-censorship for yuuri to look sufficiently like a man for my taste). and not even her art rescues this from my ennui.

Loved the artwork and bondage scenes spread throughout the book. If there's one thing you can count on, its her wonderfully-mouth-watering smex scenes... the story, however, not sure what to say about that. Its not like it was that interesting to begin with, and at some point along the lines I gave up even trying to figure out what was going on. I think either 1 - new characters were introduced later, 2 - the same characters had their names changed or 3 - the chapter was a separate story with the exact same characters (and most of the same names).

It's confusing, yeah, but totally worth the read (or rather, flip though) just for the smut alone. Its not to miss, that's for sure! I do think that this book would have gone over better with less story, more smex, and... well, less story.

I have mixed feelings about this one. The art is very beautiful, it's supposed to be a smut manga but... all men are designed to be barbie dolls, what definitely makes no sense to me in a smut manga. It's really weird. The story was rather confusing. I love the art but these things annoyed me while I was reading.

The first chapter was ok, the next ones... pointless, the last finally got somewhere as far as characters -a little bit- but it too was pointless. I agree with MightyMaeve the Mangaka needed to work on this one a bit more first. (After reading more of this authors work, I don't think it's the scanlation teams fault for the missing body parts.)

I don't know what went wrong! *weeps*

I love bondage stories but this one just made me tired. The first chapter had a great plot of confused love between Yuuri, Elaine, and Roy - well, actually it was only Roy that was confused. Even with a good premise of a plot, it still rang off.

The setting was a refreshing change: I believe it is in England in the 1920s. I like the uniqueness of that.

The following chapters I couldn't even finish. I noticed I was flipping through them quickly, obviously not riveted.

I believe the mangaka just needs to sharpen up her scenes - get rid of excess and give us the bang! Maybe some more meaningful interaction, close-ups or heart-breaking scenes.

BTW, what is WITH the penis-less spaces? Give me a break. Did the original look like that or is that bastardization of censors?

Really confusing beginning. You're just thrust (no pun intended) into the bondage. Its a bit of a dull story too, I didnt even bother to finish it.

...but only in the first chapter. The rest were a bit dull. Still, worth the read for the first chapter alone!
