Well known for her random-style of writing, not everything has to make sense with Modoru Motoni-sensei.
She started in 1988 in a circle with ISAWA Mauo called "Joe's KiraKira" and with a copy-book text doujinshi based on the series Saint Seya called "BALLAD".
Her circle now is MAQUNICALIS.

Review originally published at mangaupdates.com in August, 2008.
If you like non sequiturs....
This manga is worth the purchase only for it's unique nature. If you want to know what non-sequitur humour is all about AND you like BL, this is the textbook for you!
I found the 'team' to be pretty funny in a strange sort of way. I think this book would be HILARIOUS if I read it after two glasses of wine. Sober, it's still amusing. After going WTF? I did find myself laughing at the absurdity when I realized that is was supposed to be illogical. "Ooooh, the main characters are nucking futs and the mangaka did that on purpose. Funny!" But this leads me to my only complaint about the book.
The very first story starts out terribly serious and it misleads the reader as to what type of story will follow. Right out of the gate, three pages in, I expected a serious and gut-wrenching story. When all the non-sequiturs started, it threw me back for a moment, but then I got into the pace of Poision Cherry Drive's business and began a full gallop!
The stories are prompted by a series of clients. The most amusing story I found was the one where the boys decided to dream up a plan to 'speed up' the Stockholm Syndrome.
And that was the most comedic and silly description of a BJ I have ever read! The chibi, or rather the anti-chibi, are something I have never seen before. Instead of getting all cutsey-fied, the characters get deathly scary looking when they are angry or any other strong emotion. Is there a word for anti-chibis?
If you like this, check out Clan of the Nakagamis, another two-glasses-wine-minimum read. Maybe a little wacky tobaccy too.

This is a funky, crazy 'detective and yaoi' themed comedy. I'd recommend it to those who have a sense of humor and those who can deal with the mention of rape and other violence.
I LOL so hard when I read and re-read the manga and see our fearless detectives(?) and Co. handled one crazy, impossible request after another!

Quirky, off-beat comedy.
The cast of this manga is literally insane. This is meant to be a comedy, but it's not as dark as it first appears. While the men of this manga offer sexual revenge, a lot of their cases turn out to be quirky romances. For example, one young man pretends to be a client just so he can expose their service for the exploitation scam it is. Instead of letting him run to the police, they lock him up. Then one of the members of Poison Cherry Drive pretends to also be a prisoner, to build a bond with him and induce Stockholm Syndrome. The prisoner indeed is quickly convinced the con man is his savior and before he leaves, promising not to call the police, he wants the guy to take his virginity.
This is definitely not my usual genre; I picked the book up for the attractive art without reading the reviews. I'm still on the fence as to whether or not I'll keep it to reread. It was okay but I would say it's more weird than funny. It tries really hard to be funny, but rather than "haha" I found myself saying "WTF?"

A little out there without much story line. It was a funny read, interesting concept, and I would love to see more come from this.
