Steal Moon

review 1: Pride cometh before a brothel.Huh? What? Nozomi was a street fighter who hadn't been defeated...yet. He boasted if someone could beat him he would be that person's slave. So along comes tall dark and deadly who immediately dislocates Nozomi's ankle and punches out his lights. Meaning, he's the winner!Nozomi wakes up as property of an Internet peep show called "Digital Angels." Until he makes 5 million hits on his web counter he is to provide 24 entertainment to the clients. Of course our little uke refuses and just lays around pretending to sleep which leads to a forced event -- meaning if you don't put on a good show, one will be put on you. Nozomi pounds his attackers into submission until his dark haired *master* shows up and then the story truly begins.Digital An... moregels is a cover for an group who are trying to destroy a super computer on the moon. Hence the title - steal moon. Get it. To do that they need two little bishies and Nozomi who are genetic descents of the original scientists.The artwork is refreshing. Of course it is, once again I have stumbled upon Makoto Tateno. This is a stand alone series apart from Blue Sheep Reverie, which means you can read it without knowing the BSR storyline but it only helps enhance the experience if you do know the original. Lahti, Kai and Bihaan are key players.Continued in Volume 2
review 2: By the mangaka of many yaoi titles such as the famous Yellow , Steal Moon is a Sci-Fi tale that centers around Nozomi, a street fighter (who has, you know no bruises and a perfectly beautiful face but you have to remind yourself bishie’s can’t be beaten up and ugly). Nozomi is king of the street and so full of himself that he takes Coyote’s challenge in spite of the fact if he loses, he has to become Coyote’s slave. Naturally Coyote cleans his clock and Nozomi wakes up with an explosive collar around his neck in a room that can now be considered his home until he pays off the price Hermes paid Coyote for the young man. Hermes runs Digital Angels, a compound of ‘slaves’ who have to get X number of computer hits, i.e. a voyeur’s brothel of sorts.Nozomi refuses to play along and the first chapter deals with this. He mostly just pretends to sleep so Hermes sends in Soma and Gyokuto (I think they’re both boys), 12 year old kids whose parents sold them (which cranks up the creepiness of Digital Angels). They try to tell him how to play along with the peeping toms so he can earn his freedom before a ‘force event’ happens. Apparently Nozomi can’t work out code for ‘rape’ and nearly ends up a victim before he uses his fighting skills to stave off the men Hermes sent. Coyote reenters the picture at this point.We learn that actually Soma, Gyokuto and Nozomi are all retained by Hermes because of their ‘moon’ names which are somehow a trigger to shut down the spying camera and computers set up on the moon (yeah okay whatever). Coyote takes Nozomi out to meet Isis, the key to stopping the constant surveillance. Obviously this is easier said than done and even though Coyote has done nothing but tease and capture Nozomi, the man tries to help Coyote even after he’s shot in the leg. They get rescued by friends of Coyote, the mysterious Lahti. Late Coyote gives Nozomi to Lahti to watch over and Nozomi runs off and it ends up with him and Coyote doing it in the car. Afterwards, Nozomi goes back to Isis and learns Hermes wasn’t quite truthful.Hmmm, what to say about this thing. It’s yaoi with a plot. It’s hard for me to argue with that since so many don’t have even that much. Soma and Gyokuto add such a pedophilic touch it’s hard to ignore it (especially when Soma is so sexually aggressive toward Nozomi who doesn’t want it). The other thing that bothers me but is a yaoi (heck a romance ) standard that it’s like pointless to complain. All Coyote has done is imprison Nozomi and put him in danger and within a few nights he’s already saying I love you to him. Why? I would have been okay with casual sex in the back of the car, no need to attach the L word when it’s undeserved. I’ve never understood the rush. This whole thing is a little creepier than sexy less
