The most intriguing book I have ever read before.,
By
This review is from: Sensual Phrase (Kaikan Phrase) Vol.1 (Paperback)
I recently discovered this manga by accident, and when I read the story, I was intrigued, and decided to buy it. I could not put this book down and I loved every part of it. It is about a female poet/lyricist who meets the male lead singer of a popular band when he almost runs her over. After seeing a work of hers, he wants her to be the band's lyricist. Her lyrics are erotic and sexual, and when she meets this guy, she falls in love with him and wants to be with him, but her virginity is what gives her the creativity the band needs. And if that weren't bad enough, she is picked on and made fun of for her connection with the band by nearly everyone. When it comes to manga, or any kind of book for that matter, this is exactly the kind that I look for. The artwork is beautiful, the characters are understandable (I have noticed many similarities between Aine and myself) and the romance and story is special as well.

Sexy, Smokin' Manga!,
By Kaikane "Shoujo Addict" (Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sensual Phrase (Kaikan Phrase) Vol.1 (Paperback)
This is an awesome manga! very different from the usual Shoujo manga out there!I was expecting the typical shoujo manga the typical boy-girl fall in love story, I am used to reading the typical PG13 ones...but whoa! This one is a sexy, sexy read! This manga is more suitable for older teens/ young adults. First of all, it's about a high school girl ( Aine) who loves to write sensual lyrics who accidentally met a famous singer/ front man for a band "Lucifer" named Sakuya. Sakuya accidentally found the lyrics that she wrote, made it into the song & was convinced of her raw talent. Despite everyone's objection, the Lucifer front man decides to hire the school girl as their official lyric writer! The lyrics presented in the manga are poetic, sexy, sensual...it comes from the imagination of this inexperienced, virginal, school girl. To get Aine inspired Sakuya constantly seduce Aine's senses to coax sexy lyrics out of her imagination. It's obvious that both of them are deeply attracted to each other, they have this unexplainable chemistry. But he is a rock star with many fans, his manager & band mates seems to discourage their relationship. She is an ordinary school girl, who actually gets bullied by his fans for being close to him. I can't wait for the 2nd volume to come out! & read this sexy love story!!! How this story will develop! I highly recommend this book to all adult, shoujo fans!

Four Stars...But Not Because of Aine,

This review is from: Sensual Phrase (Kaikan Phrase) Vol.1 (Paperback)
Sensual Phrase is visual eye candy. Sakuya, the lead singer for the band Lucifer, is that sexy bishonen male who is simply drool-worthy - in fact the entire band is worthy of its own poster (they're all that hot). He's a tribute to all the brooding, devil-may-care rock stars that those of us who grew up in the 60's, 70's and 80's still miss. The sensuality is tastefully drawn, though it is certainly a mature read.
Aine, however, is the reason why manga has lost a great deal of its appeal for me. Maybe it's a culture thing, but I'm simply not interested in the cute but virginal girl who just needs the love of a handsome man to make her complete. Yawn. I don't even like that type of scenario in romance novels. Aine is simply no match for the sensual and seductive Sakuya. She's a ditzy high school girl who just so happens to write rather salacious lyrics, even though she's never been kissed and is still a virgin. She nearly gets run over by the fast-driving Sakuya and from there her rather placid high school life becomes a walk on the wild side of rock stardom. Also, it's just a little maddening that every time Aine's more jealous peers who are huge fans of Lucifer (and of Sakuya) start bullying her, here comes Sakuya to save her hide. Now, perhaps it is her very innocence in a jaded music industry that Sakuya craves, and in that sense, the story works. But again, it's the art that appeals to me. I'll keep collecting each volume and hopefully Aine will grow some sort of backbone. It would be such a disappointment if she stayed the same.
