Reviews

[Rhapsody · Rating 3 out of 5]

There are four worlds. In the human world lives a young man with demon powers. His half-brother from the demon world comes to kill him and take his power, but instead they fall in love. Because his half-brother has no power of his own, the main character chooses to protect him.

I'm okay with yaoi/shounen-ai, but why did they have to be half-brothers? Doesn't ruin the story for me though. There are a few to many characters in this first volume so it could be a little confusing, but it's an entertaining read.
