Book Description

Publication Date: November 25, 2005

Orchiee Fairchild the third is an exorcist who hops through the land on his pogo-stick purging demonic powers with his living marionette companion, Doodoo. Orchiee's travels brings him to Kingsgoie Lanzbarg University where he meets the beautiful student Philip Gillson, who employs him for a spiritual cleansing. A love affair brews between the two right as strange events start happening at the University. A dark force is raping and brainwashing the male students. It's up to Orchiee and Doodoo to put a stop to it. This is an exciting comedy/drama from the creator who brought you the 'Genie's Pawn' story in Kingdom of Selfish Love graphic novel. Also in this book, the new doctor at a French boys' school has his hands full with the beautiful and defiant student Alain. Alain seems only interested in making the handsome young doctor's life miserable, but in time the doctor learns Alain has different motives.

I have to say, at first I didn't really like the main story. The art isn't what I'm used to and I read it kinda fast, but after I read it slowly I found I liked it a lot! The main character is easily loveable, and his marionette is hilarious about the whole dog thing. Also lots of steamy scenes and even a plot! Really great work, though some of the art was a bit...blurry almost?

I loved the story at the end. This type of art is my favorite, that and the anime style. I also thought the two characters matched really well and the story didn't seem to be missing anything or broken. Though! I will say this: watch his ring finger and notice not until the end do we see he's not wearing a ring! Sly!

I actually purchased this book for the second story, but quickly fell in love with the main story as well. Who couldn't love O, adorable little [...] that he is? I enjoyed the humor presented, and almost fell out of my chair with laughter everytime "Roweena" showed up!

I can't say enough about the short story in the back. The art was fantastic and it had a great story line to it.

Forgive me this part. I purchased this book through lred0724 , who was nothing if not helpful, kind, and extremely friendly. Thanks so much, Lenny!
