Ohkami Mineko: Gekka kajin ~ Lumen Lunae vol. 02
I currently have Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor For Organ (BWV 565) playing in the background. (It's the scary ta-ta-taaaaa ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta organ thing you hear in cheesey horror flicks.) It's very appropriate, although I didn't calculate it that way. In case you don't know, Lumen Lunae is a manga filled to its edge with blood, gore, bodily fluids, homosexuality, incest, and homosexual incest, written by the lady who brought you Dragon Knights. Yay!
This volume adds on to the homosexual incest that already excisted in the previous volume, and we have two fair-haired brothers who, according to the author's notes, are "versatile". It also appears that Kaiga-sama (the friendly local sadistic villain) has taken a liking to the older one, which makes me a happy Kaiga fangirl. Not only that, in this volume Kaiga-sama has necrophilic sex with whats-his-name that messed up in the last volume, and fucks his sister! If there had been some Kaiga x Hisanagi in there, beyond the French kissing, I'd have held onto this volume like to my first-born child, but alas.
Story? What story? Well, there does seem to be one, underneath all the gory sex, about this world we're living in having been created by Suruga, the ruler of that other world, and it's falling apart now because he doesn't care about it any more. There's also some talking about Aika (the heroine, so to speak) being the cause of all evil that's happening. But it's all too murky, and put beside all the perversity happening, I can't really bring myself to care. Maybe in the future volumes.
Ohkami Mineko said in volume one that this series was a shojo manga about pure love, by which she was referring to Kai and Aika, the protagonist and his mother. Right now, I'm really afraid that's the road she's going to take it ... not because I dislike incest, or anything, but Kai and Aika are honestly the two most boring characters in this thing. And that's counting Hisanagi's bird. Just stick to the non-pure love, if you will, Ohkami-sensei.
