AI No Kusabi the Space Between Volume 4: Suggestion (Yaoi Novel)

by Rieko Yoshihara and Reiko Yoshihara

Released from Iason's curse, Riki is spending his days idly in the slums when he's drawn into a trap -- is it a secret plot of uninvited visitor Kirie, or could it also be a cruel way to force Riki to choose between the body of his old roommate Guy and his own pride? Riki revives the memories of his three years of lust and masochism with Iason. Is freedom just an illusion?

Customer Reviews

So good

Just take a pause and look at the gorgeous cover of Iason. Okay, the review. In this fourth book of the series, besides Riki and Iason, also Kyrie gets a fair share of attention. Very interesting to read the motivations of his actions and to what lengths he goes for that. The Sci-fi world created in this series is becoming more detailed with each volume. By accident I stumbeled across the OVA and I am glad I did. Otherwise I would never have read this series (being a novel and no manga) and that would have been a loss.

A powerful story of love.

This series is magnificent! Early in the 90's an anime appeared in Japan that would rock. It was a love story about a "mongrel" named Riki who had the misfortune to cross paths with a man called Jason, an elite race of Blondies, perfected human beings. Jason would come to love the proud Riki through torture and forced encounters that would not break Riki despite appearances. Much would come between them to tear them apart including threats to Jason that he would be reprogramed if he kept such an inferior pet as Riki. Recently a new manga translation was made available to we eager American readers. It is very good with illustrations that are just right for the series. I had read previously that there weren't enough illustrations. I think there are and they are quite beautiful and haunting. The most recent volume "Suggestion" continues the story of Riki, freed fron his confinement for a year, by Jason. It does not hold back in its frank sexuality and powerful love that Jason has come to feel for Riki. Excellent. One caution though,it is mature reading. Highly recommended!

Excellent!

This is an absolutely great read. It definitely brings to light the happenings during the three years Rikki was separated from Bison. It's a whole new twist on an already wonderful story.
