by Nikke Taino

Yaoi Manga

"This is a kiss for my seven years of love for you."
Letting his curiosity guide him on a trip around the world, Shin's hard work has allowed him to infiltrate a land completely cut off from the world, the "unmapped country," Oraie. In a country filled with mystery, Shin meets the noble young king Musutia and his cool and refined servant, the beauty Noe. In order to save the life of Musutia, infected with a near fatal disease unique to Oraie, Shin bears witness to the repeated practice of a "healing kiss" between lord and retainer. In wake of Noe's burning lust, will Shin...? Will a day come when lord and vassal can "kiss for love," before they both go crazy from yearning? Penned with all of Taino Nikke's power of craft, we give you a beautiful tale of fated love in a small fantastical land.

Pretty Yaoi art but story went all over the shop after reading chapter 1 …

I have very mixed feelings about this one. I think the overarching story was really interesting and done well. On a whole, I also really liked the character dynamics and relationships. It's just... there was this one HUGE thing that I found deeply disturbing. Why did the author think that it was appropriate for have Noe to have sexual feelings for a child? Like, what the f*ck was that about? I think their relationship could have been super cute, but it wasn't, because Noe, an adult, was sexually attracted to Masutia, a child. Why couldn't he have just been deeply devoted to Masutia and then slowly grown to love him once he became an adult? Why did he have to be sexual attracted to a child? It's just so creepy. I just do not know what the author was thinking. I don't really know if I should recommend this one or not. I genuinely think this is a really good story that is told fairly well. I just cannot get over that horrible, horrible plot point. I was gonna give it 3 stars, since I did like the story on a whole, but the more I think about it, the more disturbed I get by that plot point.

The medical premise of this story doesn’t make any sense at all. The medical staff in a technologically backward country that can’t investigate the source of a pandemic disease, and yet able to carry out lung transplant operations. Where do they get the immunosuppressant for the organ recipients?

This was a wonderful quick read and I enjoyed watching Shin change in small ways while visiting the nation on uncharted discovery. Secrets are exposed and the risk of losing someone close makes things stressful for time, but with outside help things turn out for the better.

DNF at 26% I do not appreciate the outsider continueing to pleasure the attendant after the attendant said "no stop" multiple times

It could have been a good story, but they just have to make it weird.

Cute story. More depth than I anticipated, and I really hope there will be more volumes in the future, exploring more of this world.
