"My suffering dies in your arms."
Waah, this was so sorrowfully romantic. Hotel del Luna meets Spirited Away and make it gay. Love it.

For someone like me that’s never been into anime, manga or anything else like that I’ll have to admit that I’m slowly becoming addicted to yaoi. Not sure if I’m fangirl status yet, but I do enjoy them when well written.
Unfortunately I’ve been trying to read them on my kindle paper white, which has been ok until this one...
This one looked so beautiful in black and white that I felt I was really missing out on seeing it in color.

Meh. Didn't love the drawing style, and overall not really my thing.

Drawings could have been more polished, but the story in itself was really cute. I like the whole world-building and the fact both of will slowly losing their memories.
Kudos for the afterwords, where a fully-fledged story between two interesting characters was laid out (hopefully will continue, who knows).

The only complaint about this volume is that the artwork could have been more polished and the dialogues could have been better edited.
Otherwise, the characters are fun. The story gets rather intense with moments of humour and fun.
Looking forward to the second volume.

Could have done with a little extra world building maybe? But whatever, I loved it anyway, it is absolutely everything I wanted to read at the moment.

While I *generally* liked the book, I didn't feel like it came across as a complete, cohesive story. There was no "endgame" or goal for the characters to reach. One had lost all memory of their childhood friendship, and the other had sacrificed his human world to be with him, knowing he'd lose his memories too. I was hoping there would be some resolution, some trick that meant because they were together that memory loss wouldn't work, but it never came. The story could easily have ended halfway through the story, although I do like the more romantic following chapters. They just had no purpose except as an extended epilogue.
Plus, there was a "bonus" comic that I chose not to read because the first page of it didn't make any sense. I'd have liked those pages to have been put to better use to give me a more well-balanced ending to the book I bought and paid for.
The art/illustrations were strange, for me. Sometimes sweeping and stunning, with a real Japanese yaoi flair, and sometimes angular and harsh, where the characters looked disproportioned. I don't know if it was meant to be a character differentiation or there were 2 artists, but it was disappointing.
Overall, I liked the characters and the main story, but it was missing vital plot points and the illustrations were 50% stunning and 50% disappointment. I'd probably read the author 1 more time before deciding whether to keep buying more or not.

once upon a time, a young boy's best friend called him to the moonlit shore. the friend said there was something the boy must know. but, instead of telling the boy, his friend hurled himself into the sea & was devoured by a monster before the boy's eyes. from that day forward, the boy was ostracized by the town & accused of pushing his friend to his death. decades later, the boy was a man working in a strange hotel between the land of humans & the forever night of the immortal realm when the moon god came to earth. the man recognized the god, for the god was not immortal at all &, though he claimed to have no memories of the human world, he still feared the sea.
if the story had focused on this plot line, perhaps it would have been enjoyable. but the artwork was too loose & sketched for my liking & i do not know what this story is actually about.

Read for free with Comixology Unlimited. FYI, the sex scenes are VERY graphic.
This is my favorite manga/yaoi so far. I love it, and hate it at the same time. Let me explain.
Triggers: There’s no dubcon or noncon like in a lot of yaoi. The relationship is consensual. There is mention of suicide but is more along the lines of self-sacrifice than due to despondency.
In this series there is the Transient world (that’s us, humans and the world we live in) and the Everlasting (the permanent world of the Others, monsters). They need to live in tandem for both worlds to survive. The Everlasting world needs a ruler, to make sure the monsters don’t pop over and wreak havoc with the Transient world. A series of humans have been chosen for the task over the millennium. They are chosen from the Transient world and govern until they go mad or want to return to the Transient world (where they quickly die due to their acclimation to the Everlasting).
Amano is a hotel concierge who works at a unique establishment. It caters to travelers from the Everlasting world. One day the King of the Everlasting world enters the hotel and Amano is tasked with taking care of his needs personally. He soon realizes the King is his long lost boyhood friend who threw himself into the sea and died in front of Amano’s eyes.
The story is about Amano trying to find out what happened and why. Meanwhile the King has no recollection of Amano, but does remember why he threw himself into the sea. Ultimately Amano decides to follow the King back into the Everlasting and they become lovers.
This review is going to be for the whole series as I don’t feel like writing about each and every volume. So spoilers below.
Things I liked about this series.
The art work was topnotch. I know others have said it they didn’t like it. But I loved the loose style. It was very beautiful. Also the sex scenes were HOT. There was nothing left to the imagination. You got to see exactly how Tab A fit into Slot B. Repeatedly. I loved the story. Boy A meets boy B. Loses boy B. Meets boy B again who doesn’t remember him. Boy A finds out boy B sacrificed himself for Boy A. Boy A and B fall in love.
What I didn’t love was that the story felt very unfinished. Amano seems to have this plan to make things right and someone make it so the King can return to the Transient world permanently while he stays to take over his place. But the end concludes with Amano and the King enjoying each other’s company. It was a nice ending without wondering if the King would eventually go back. I hoped Amano forgot all about his plan and the two stayed together. Also, there was a strange side story at the end about a monster and man falling in love. It had nothing to do with the main story and I couldn’t figure out why it was there.

This might be my favorite yaoi manga I've read so far... Not necessarily because of the feelsy-ness of it, but just because it's so hauntingly beautiful. The art is lovely, and the creativity of the world drew me in immediately.
The main character works at an inn that serves as a barrier between the world of spirits and the mortal world. The spirit world is ruled by a human being who is sacrificed to live forever in the spirit world and slowly lose their memory and their humanity. That human being comes to stay at the inn, and the protagonist realizes he looks like someone he knew as a boy... someone who everyone thought killed himself, but who he saw being devoured by a vortex of monsters.
The story is bittersweet, since one character's memory loss prevents him from realizing the depth of their connection, and there's a lot of suffering that the human has to endure to live in the spirit world. But it's a very engrossing and creative story. I'd recommend it to people who don't usually care for yaoi.

Quite interesting
Let's get the fangirling out of my system first: I WANT MORE! I WANT TO READ MORE ABOUT THEIR LIFE TOGETHER! MY FEELS!
OK, with that out, let's talk about the story and characters.
I admit that I'm a sucker for myths and supernatural stuff, even more so when it has to do with culture, folklore or history. So, the fact that this story has a bit of each is great.
The art is a mix of realistic and fantastically mixed components with a touch of historical references.
Now, as it was only one volume, I found that it paced itself really well; just a couple of jumps that were confusing for a few seconds, but it cleared away a with no problem.
I admit that I experienced mixed feelings when I thought about the outcome of the story, but the author also plays with that, giving hints that not everything is black or white related to the future of the pairing.
Just be warned that it has smuty parts, in case that isn't your cup of tea.

I’m gonna be honest and say this was sitting in my kindle library for a good 2 months before I cracked it open. I can’t even remember how I found it. Maybe a discover on my kindle homepage or a rec I saw somewhere? No idea.
Anyway, because of that I kind of went into it without much background. I had read the blurb on the download, and saw it was an extension of an original published work. I also saw it was listed as vol 1, which now that I’m at the end & immediately went looking for vol 2 I am wholly confused.
There is no continuation? I guess that was it. And if that was it…I am kind of disappointed.
I also feel like there were chunks of information left out of this story. It jumped around a lot, and it would go from one thing happening in a panel to something completely different in the next panel. I kept thinking ‘well that escalated quickly.’
I’m wondering if maybe the kindle version was incorrectly formatted or something and is missing content.
Just odd. Idk.

So apparently Yaoi Manga means a story about Homosexual romances ah well, there is no harm in reading this so this world has two parts one normal and the other one where immortals live. Nice enough start but let's see how it develops so let's go and Keep on Reading.
I have always loved comics, and I can and I have. I love comics to bits, may the comics never leave my side. I loved reading this and love reading more. You should also read what you love, and I hope you will always love them. Even though I grew up reading local Indian comics like Raj Comics, Diamond Comics, or even Manoj Comics, now's the time to catch up on international and classic comics and Graphic novels. I am on my quest to read as many comics as I just want to Keep on Reading.

No em solen agradar els finals que no et deixen sensació de tancament i més encara quan hi ha elements fantàstics pel mig (és a dir, que amb qualsevol recurs senzill es pot fer una bona cloenda a la història). En aquest cas, BL entre el déu de la lluna en el món dels "esperits" i un humà que treballa en un hostal que acull éssers de tots dos móns. El rerefons que se'ns explica a mitges i no té una cloenda gens digna és que els dos protagonistes es coneixen de petits quan un salva a l'altre de convertir-se en el sacrifici del déu de la lluna... fa ràbia que la veritat no s'acabi sabent i que tingui un final tan brusc, li resta tot el sentit a la història :(

This was my first yaoi! The cover art captivated me immediately as did the rest of the illustrations throughout the volume. I went in with no expectations. Ita obvious the story is drawn out so there are more "good parts". I'm not complaining. I do wish they would have used it more as a tool to advance the plot. Again, this is my first yaoi, I'm not sure if this is anoatrern or not. Overall I enjoyed it. I'd love to know more of the lore and their lives continuing on. I enjoyed it!

The art is beautiful at times, and really harsh and wonky at others. The story also feels wholly unfinished in favor of like 20+ pages of random birdman story that's clunky and disjointed.
I liked Amano and Tsukuyomi, and their story is quite bittersweet, but it just...ends. There's no real resolution to the problem that they have. The letter part doesn't make up for that. I would have liked a fuller volume of this with a real ending rather than the unrelated story.

September 8, 2023In an alternate universe where there is a bridge between the transient (human, mortal) world and the everlasting (creaturely, immortal) world, the king of the everlasting world comes for a holiday in the hotel at the border of the worlds. Amano, who has been working at the hotel since he lost his home, realizes that the king is actually his childhood friend who disappeared and who no longer remembers him.

Amano works at an inn where the transient world meets the eternal world on the regular. One day the Moon King comes for a visit and Amano is stunned to find he looks like his childhood friend Mitsuki who fell into the sea and was lost. Omg, this made me cry. Lovely storytelling, wonderful art. Extras at the end featuring the Zhenniao birdman character.

This was lovely and bittersweet. I found the sacrifices each made for the other so beautiful. The world created here is compelling and the art is gorgeous. The ending felt a tad bit unsatisfying and I wish we had more stories of their time together, how they change, if they ever make it back to the transient world etc, but the relationship nevertheless moved me.

I really like the characters! And the story was really my cup of tea.
It's not the perfect manga but it's pretty entertaining.

Beautiful art, bittersweet story
The story between Tsukuyomi and Amano is bittersweet but the art is beautiful. The bonus story between Tsai Hong and Fei is sweet and cute with a little humor. I liked both. Well worth the read.

This was actually way better than I thought it would be. For such a short story, it was actually really touching. I really wish there was more. What was in this single volume could have easily been expanded with more details and I'm sure the story could have continued even further... Oh well :(

This was sweet and a little sad, but beautiful. The art is lovely. I look forward to reading more. I would definitely recommend this to yaoi fans.

Main story was good. Amazing even. Sub story was pedophilia and the author admitting in the notes that they're a shotacon. Absolutely disappointed.
