So last august 03, I’ve got hold of
a copy of Ai No Kusabi volume 2: Destiny. It was a dream come true for I have
been longing deeply to have a copy of those precious books I’ve been admiring
all this time. I have already read the whole 6 volumes of the story using a
soft copy I have downloaded online but having the real thing was not just a
mere whimsy of mine but the desire to have the physical copies on my hands. It
is for my complete satisfaction.
The fact that I couldn’t gain the
volume one because of its rareness thus, the price was quite out of my reach,
made me settle to buy those I could afford. After it arrived, I quickly read the volume
two without hesitation, for the second time. It was as if the feelings I had
the first time I read rose again and my chest was full of those warm unknown
emotions. Reading it means experiencing those great ups and down of emotions
and the thrill of knowing the events and the characters again.
I couldn’t count how many times I
smiled, laughed, screamed and called out the names Iason and Riki repeatedly.
The happiness and excitement of witnessing those fateful encounters of these
two marvelous characters kept me swaying in and out of my own world. If I had
not entered into this beautiful world called “YAOI” I would have not known this
tale that embodied the true meaning of “the wedge of love”.
The moment I opened the book
destiny, I was in deep joy that I felt like crying. Perhaps, not everyone would
understand the feelings I felt but I believe that any Ai No Kusabi fan out
there would undoubtedly agree with me.
As I continued to read, the
phrase “Riki met Iason” made my heart cried out of passion. And I was
completely swept away with the urge to reminisce this beautifully conveyed
story of Iason Mink and Riki the Black. And so, with every flip of the pages
and every move of my eyes as I read the story, I was under the spell of this
beautiful tale of dark mysteries.
I can’t seem to patiently wait
for the volume 3 to arrive on my hands. However, since I haven’t purchased the
volume 1 and quickly jumped to the second volume to read, I might as well just
use the soft copy I have to read it again. I am now so enthralled to read this
novel again. In my opinion, there’s no doubt that “Ai No Kusabi”, just what
June manga says, defined the genre.
