In a dystopian future there is one pure and treasured thing in it who can make a difference, and he is Danya Arseniev, one of the best ballet stars the world has ever known and his performances are as enchanting as they are beautiful and as emotional as they are gripping, and it is this emotion that fills others with peace when he is watched in his performances. Danya is on in a matter of minutes and though he is one of the best performers around, he still feels as though he is in the grip of stage fright, as his nervousness never changes - he still gives his all once on stage. In all this wonder there is only one problem, Nicolaj his right hand man has got mixed up with the mafia and they have given him another assignment he must do for them, even if it means hurting Danya who it seems has a dark past as well. At the ballet after Danya's performance, he comes across two men talking, one Edward mentioning he is an old android and that Patrick, his owner should get another instead of putting up with him malfunctioning. When Danya intervenes to help Ed out with his joint problem, Patrick is amazed that such a star would want to be bothered with them in the first place. Danya cannot seem to shake his thoughts of Nicolaj's past, even if his heart is in the right place as far as friendship is concerned. He is a dangerous character in this most lovely of novels, and there is a certain menace about him, but Danya finds he can overcome any obstacles to his happiness if he tries hard enough. Another character, Patrick is a famous inquiry Reporter and could get closer to finding out the secrets of both Danya and Nicolaj, who are trying very hard to keep close to their hearts. The novel is a beautiful piece where Dany and Dany can truly show off their technical merit with their artwork. The settings are always lavish and extravagant and will woo the yaoi manga fan with wonder at the construction of the buildings, general dress the characters wear and overall look. This manga will touch the heart of the reader as it is such a well-written story all the way through it.
IN SUMMARY:
Daringly futuristic in its theme - this novel proves how well drawn and unique it is from the turn of the first page. Timeless! |
