Rating:  - Kuro no Kishi vol.1
I thought this was a very romantic manga. I like the fact that it's not set in a high school somewhere, (although I don't mind those types of manga), it's set in medieval times. It's typical in the tall, dark and handsome seme comes and falls in love with the small, girlish uke. There isn't much sex, so look for another series for that. It's romantic and very sweet instead. I'm up to book 3, and I plan on continuing the rest of this series. The story is good enough for me.

Bishy knight Zeke "loves" girly Prince Chris in a fake-medieval society wracked with intrigue. It is marketed as "Boys Love" and comes with an M on the cover, and was recommended to me as being something different for the genre. Different or not, it makes the mountains of feudal/fantasy hack-work on the market look like Tolkien to the power of Dumas. Where to start?

Rating:  - A nice addition to a yaoi manga collection.
The world of "Black Knight" appears well-crafted. There are distinct countries with grim histories. The 'older generation' are veterans of war and they carry some of the grimness always.

He's a typical incompetent uke, a young prince whose only contribution is to be kind and grateful and humble, so self-effacing he's barely a two-dimensional personality. He's studying at a 'knight academy' but doesn't ... Read More

i also enjoyed the side storie at the end. it was very different, and very sweet. thou i don't think the catholic religion will be very impressed. since it's about a priest gives up the cloth for ... Read More
Rating: - Wheee!!
OK, I will concede, it's a bit of a stereotypical setup. And I generally think myself to be the "cultured" yaoi conoisseur, going for less superficial parts, but this one sucked me in like quicksand.
I loved the art- OK, OK, I'm a sucker for bishounen. I do like my ukes effeminate...what can I say? And romance...come on, who doesn't love the kind of romance story that sweeps you off your feet into flowery girl happy land? I certainly do love it. The action scenes are well-drawn, too.
