Reona, a college student, works part-time at the Kaizaki family's castle. Ruling over this castle is the young master, Kaizaki-sama. Amid chores and strict obedience, who would have thought that Kaizaki-sama's "discipline" of Reona would lead to a Cinderfella romance?!

THE most ridiculously, not to mention hilariously - funny yaoi I've read in a long while. Filthy rich seme keeps sacrificing his priceless antiques - by making sure the hot stable bou can't help but break them - in order to "punish" him regularly. Ridiculously over the top, yet laugh-out-loud funny. Not my favorite artwork, but overall it was okay.
I read this book a long time ago but I couldn't tell you when. I love this mangaka's artwork, absolutely beautiful but the storylines are very contrived, some of which is funny some which is a bit over-the-top. Also its is very explicit, so be warned! This is a collection of stories with the main one about a rich man who falls at first sight for a poor student who is watching his horses. He finds exaggerated ways to keep the 19 year old college student in his debt and the punishments gradually become something more. Great collection of stories, also really liked the dentist storyline.
Have to read the scanlations, can't afford a copy of the actual book (I've looked!). But then again if I paid almost $200 I think I'd be upset by the brevity of the actual manga.
Review originally published at mangaupdates.com in August, 2008.
This one was super funny. (Imagine the time Kaizaki must have spent setting up all those plates!) The totally gullible Reona was a lovable dupe. Add to the mix Reona's protective (and apparently only semi-balanced person) and I found a recipe for great enjoyment in BL-dom.
I love the beautiful and explicit drawings of Ougi-sensei. So lush and sparkly and brave. Her story-telling always draws me in and affects my emotions within a few pages. Her characters seem to jump off the page!
The back cover says, "love, lust, and lunacy abound." Yeah, that.
