The devil meets his match in this sweet romantic tale about a kind priest and the demon he falls for in The Devil’s Secret, a delightful new yaoi from the creator of Little Butterfly.

Father Mauro lives the simple life of a pious young man. When he finds Raoul, a beautiful man seemingly around his age collapsed behind the church, Father Mauro does take the lost soul in to help him any way he can. Luckily for him, the way proves to be one filled with love, laughs and passion when his mischievous charge turns out to be a demon! Raoul isn’t just any demon, with his horns and tail he is quite devilish looking, but this little demon feeds on love. He’s a succubus. Mauro is about to discover the kind of devoted love most people pray for!

It’s a charming story. The art style is tender and attractive, just like the men the designs portray. The story is explicit but has a fun sense of humor as well. Nor is it the only story in this manga. The book continues with three other short stories. The next deals with an aloof classmate who grates under the constant attention from an enthusiastic friend he just can’t seem to turn away from. When push comes to shove, it could be he might discover it’s not really aggravation that is making his temper flare. The tale following that is especially sweet about two schoolmates and a question that is waiting to be answered between them. After graduation they lose touch and for once the fellow being chased might have to do some chasing of his own. I really liked this story, it was very romantic, very engaging. The final is a bonus story featuring Raoul’s demonic brother and his love life in the Underworld. It is fun and creative and adds fantasy to an already fantastic manga. Plus fans can enjoy a full color cover page as well.


IN SUMMARY:
From the author of Little Butterfly comes a tender and passionate story about a young priest and the demon who steals his heart.

I like the sound of this one - it reminds me of King of the Lamp in many ways - would like to get my hands on this title.
