As you know, I already reviewed one host club manga, and now I'm onto this one where Yudai is a uni student looking for a decent job ending up at an all-male host club. The difference here is that Yudai is the obedient type, and his lover has him cleaning every inch of the host club, then once his job is done, after hours, Yudai is free to be his sex slave!

If it isn't strong men in shonen manga, or a strong romance element in shojo, in yaoi we can get some interesting stories featuring animal gods who turn human in order to seduce some handsome, unsuspecting male.

In Japan, the significance of the moon plays a huge part in folklore, and from what I have noticed, manga in general; Sailor Moon, Kaguya the moon princess in Naruto, the crescent moon in Bleach, the list may be endless, but it is here in this yaoi manga too. Previously I had read and reviewed some crazy titles, I would have to say this is a more sombre one with some folklore attached to it.

When, most of the time I have read yaoi manga based on fantasy, sci-fi or modern day, it's good to get into a decent period drama. This is more like You Higuri's Gorgeous Carat where an aristocratic young man, Lord Akihito has an intense love for Master Katsuragi, though as etiquette dictates, the young lord must find himself a wife.

REVIEW: FETISH WORSHIP: EROTICA BY BILLIE ROSIE

Fetish Worship: Erotica
Author: Billie Rosie
Genre: Erotica, BDSM, Fetish, Foot Worship
Format: E-book
Review by: Sandra Scholes

This is a collection of several short stories which feature heavily fetish worship, bondage and submission. There are mixed characters in here; a man with a serious foot fetish he needs to indulge, a woman being encouraged into a bit of slavery, a man who wants to be seen as a mummy's boy, a slave and master scenario in one case, a Halloween prankster, a retelling of an ancient Greek myth and a woman who likes to take dirty phone calls. For those who like it kinky and sensual there are also voyeurs and exhibitionists who will tantalize and tease the reader to the peak of ecstasy.

With each issue of Faerie Magazine there is a theme while other issues were of snow queens, practical magic, warrior goddesses and the faerie court, and to my delight this months' theme is of Tolkien. I remember reading his books at a young teen age when interest in the otherworldly was at the forefront of my mind. This issue captures what readers would think of when they explained Tolkien's world for the first time.
