Kay's manga / #Host(6)

Began as a one shot by the same name in ‘Tachi Neko Soudatsu BL’, Chapter 9.

5 ch. = 6 ch. total - trans. 2011 Sawauchi Sachiyo I felt the second story (ch 2) had a great concept, but I think it could have been executed a lot better than it was. 1. Tenshinchigi (Gods of Heaven and Earth) The gods of earth, water, fire, wind and thunder gather together every day for their assignments. In between causing storms and rain showers love develops. 2. Fragile but Strong Mayden, the king from Dumayden and Alexander, the king from Alectoria, are best friends. One day Mayden proposes a marriage between his eldest son and Alexander's only daughter but, unknown to most, the king's daughter is actually a rebellious teenaged boy! What happens when Prince Mayville turns up for the marriage interview and meets beautiful but headstrong Alec instead of the rumoured Black Rose Princess Sandra? 3. Stray Cat Rock Simple first aid to a wounded stranger is interpreted as something more. 4. A Wanderer's Love A host who enjoys preying on women finds himself unexpectedly falling for a male florist's beautiful bouquets 5. Love Monster Returning home drunk from a group date Hayato finds a strange vagabond on his doorstep who turns out to be his Uncle Tooru.

6 ch. - trans. 2011 Takaguchi Satosumi From the beginning I was asking myself “ok, where’s this going” and continued to ask that till the second last chapter. Each new thing that happened to him felt like the beginning of a plot, until it veered off to another beginning, then another, etc. This story isn’t fully constructed with a straight forward plot like so many others, but instead is more of a winding scenic route made up of a string of side stories or those ‘this happened to a friend of mine’ stories. That’s the feel I get from it anyway. But even though there isn’t a clearly identifiable direction or aim for the story and the character ends up in the same exact same place he was at the beginning of the story, I still found it an enjoyable read. I also find it refreshing that the story is both Yaoi and heterosexual, much like the real world, that’s why I like to see Yaoi that has straight characters. But I especially like how (although reluctant) this character has truely Bi-Sexual experiences, instead of the usual, which is a statement that they are Bi while only doing gay or straight stuff. Aida Rendou, ex-student and would-be poet, struggles to earn a living in the big city. As a talent scout for the adult video firm, M+ Productions, he hunts for potential actresses but it's not enough to pay the rent. So boss Nanazuka offers him extra cash to use his body to seduce men and women alike.
