Tale of the Waning Moon Review











Product Description

After a night of serious boozing, a jilted young man named Ryuka speaks his wish for true love atop a starlit hill. His words reach the ears of Ixto, the spirit of the last quarter moon, who decides to grant Ryuka's wish. Unfortunately for Ryuka, Ixto's handpicked selections to be the young man's lover are all men themselves! And when his rejection of these choices leads to an unexpected night of passion that casts a spell on him, will Ryuka give in to his enchanted body's urge to chase after Ixto and journey through worlds unknown, or will his mind win over his heart?

 My Review:

One night on top of "The Wishing Hill" a drunk and angry Ryuka makes wish to find his one true love who would love him back after being dumped by his girlfriend.  Ixto a bespeckled man who is a spirit of the waning moon appears before him and grants him his wish.  Unfortunately they are all men on the fate of cards he picks and he rejects them while Ixto decides he wants Ryuka all to himself.  After a night of forced love he realizes a spell was cast on him that forces his body to chase after Ixto though his head doesn't want too.

He is also forced to take a journey and along the way he picks up an interesting cast Coon a moon-cat boy servant of Ixto, Aldin a millionaire's son also looking for his one true love and Jii Aldin's loyal butler.  During his journey Ryuka and Aldin find themselves in some dire situations with some near rape scenes but are saved at the last minute.

I really enjoyed the touching scenes between Ryuka and Ixto because you can tell Ixto cares for Ryuka and it was funny that Ryuka blushes when Ixto is near him.  I also enjoyed the touching scenes between Aldin and Rai because it was sweet and caring.

4/5
