Kazuma is a handsome but woeful bartender and drifting college student. He has no happiness in life, no goals, no drive. But when hot number Maya enters in the picture everything changes. And Suddenly Kazuma’s life is thrown into chaotic desires, unbridled passions, and malicious dangers! Things get kinky quick for Kazuma. First he has to deal with the hot guy coming onto him at work, and then he gets a job looking after a subdued and shy pretty little number who looks exactly like Maya! But this guy’s name is Shinya. So what’s the deal? Kazuma wants to know. Are they twins? Is it a split personality? Could it be an alien doppelganger? (Hey, in yaoi you can never tell.) But for this odd love triangle, it’s something sinister and his name is Tanabe. When Kazuma fell in love it turns out he also fell into a slave ring and extortion gambit used to topple companies and ruin lives. Well, Kazuma being the good guy won’t stand for that! But how can he save Shinya and Maya when Kazuma’s own brother turns out to be Tanabe’s next target! Is he too naïve to do what needs to be done to save his family and his lover? Oh ho! This is a spicy yaoi rendition for fans to cavort in guilty pleasure with! The guys are sexy, danger is everywhere and seduction is around the nearest corner. I went into the manga expecting a run of the mill love story. The male sex slave ring was an unexpected twist. It puts a big dramatic spin to the story. But I do worry that fans will feel a bit frustrated at the end when after traps get laid and people caught, a certain bad guy doesn’t pay a much earned toll for all his nasty and naughty misdeeds. Not enough righteous justice. But the rest was sure a thrill ride to read! The art is racy, it’s sexy, it’s hot! All the guys are gorgeous. Plus there’s a few seduction scenes, one right near the beginning to tantalize us voyeurs! After all, isn’t voyeurism part and parcel with what yaoi is all about? It’s sensationalistic in the best yaoi sense of the word!
IN SUMMARY:
A young man falls in love with a pretty guy and falls into even bigger danger in the sexy drama Hot Limit! |
