Product Description
In the future, on a distant star lives a new society. Ruled by a computer system named Jupiter, men are divided into classes based on their hair color. The Blondies, genetically altered by Jupiter, are the highest class and occupy the capital city of Tanagura. Those with black hair, Mongrels, are forced to live in the slums, Ceres. Iason, the leader of the Blondies, encounters Riki, a mongrel, in the streets of Ceres one night and sets out to own him.

I first saw Ai No Kusabi in it's anime form SO many years ago. It entranced me, but I did notice that it seemed like it was missing something. So, I looked it up and discovered that it was originally based on a novel. No surprise there. The anime lacked what the novel had - a back story. And lots of it. I scoured the internet and finally found a fan translated copy. "Finally!" I thought. I read it - and it was great. It really filled the gap that the anime was missing, but still, it wasn't all that well written, you could say.
Well, fast forwards years later and what do you know, Ai No Kusabi FINALLY made it to America in an official release. I figured, "Sure why not, I'll pick up the copy and re-fresh my memory".
WOW. Just Wow.
This is NOTHING like the fan translation. It's a thousand times BETTER!! I was utterly blown away! I usually read very fast and finish books very quickly, but I found myself re-reading entire pages, not because I needed to, but because I WANTED to. It's simply an amazing story, but it's written so well too! As soon as I finished, I started reading it again!
This is the first book in the series. And, like I mentioned earlier, it packs a lot of back story. If you want a condensed version, go watch the anime first, THEN come back and read the novel. Trust me, you'll LOVE it.
It's like the story of Romeo and Juliet... Except, with bondage and whips. And it's between two guys. One master, the other pet.
Again, novel one has most of the back story to set the atmosphere and explain the world it takes place in. It's not rushed and it feels so well thought out, the way it flows. Novel two starts the more juicy parts, but they'd be meaningless without reading the first novel, so pick it up. Seriously, this is one amazing story!
