by Mayu Shinjo

As a budding poet and lyricist, Aine is on her way to an audition one fateful afternoon. Absentmindedly stepping into the street, she barely avoids getting struck by an oncoming vehicle. Not only is the cute teenager lucky to be alive, but her brush with death turns out to be a date with destiny. The driver of the car just happens to be Sakuya, the charismatic and fabulously handsome lead singer for a band called Lucifer. In short order, Sakuya and his crew compose a song using AineÅfs lyrics. The tune proves popular with the bandÅfs fans and Sakuya decides he wants a relationship, both professional and personal, with Aine. ThereÅfs only one small requirement: The lyrics Aine writes must be erotically charged. And guess what? Sakuya fully intends to introduce the young and inexperienced girl into the world of sensual delights. Does Sakuya actually care for Aine, or is she just another sexual conquest for him? Will Aine fulfill her dreams and become a professional lyricist, or has she simply sold her soul to Lucifer?

Sakuya really pisses me off. There are moments in the beginning of this volume where he was really sweet, but then he went and did a string of things that made me want to punch him. While Aine gets on my nerves a lot of the time, I hated Sakuya for treating her the way he did. I feel like Sakuya is always doing these random plans to make a point, but I never get what the hell he is trying to prove. For example, the whole e.Mu lyricist plotline. He seemed so smug over how it turned out and I was so confused. It’s like he gets off somehow on hurting Aine’s feelings and making her cry. Props to Aine for putting up with him because I honestly don’t think I could handle the emotional rollercoaster he keeps making her go through.
