As a budding poet and lyricist, Aine is on her way to an audition one fateful afternoon. Absentmindedly stepping into the street, she barely avoids getting struck by an oncoming vehicle. Not only is the cute teenager lucky to be alive, but her brush with death turns out to be a date with destiny. The driver of the car just happens to be Sakuya, the charismatic and fabulously handsome lead singer for a band called Lucifer. In short order, Sakuya and his crew compose a song using AineÅfs lyrics. The tune proves popular with the bandÅfs fans and Sakuya decides he wants a relationship, both professional and personal, with Aine. ThereÅfs only one small requirement: The lyrics Aine writes must be erotically charged. And guess what? Sakuya fully intends to introduce the young and inexperienced girl into the world of sensual delights. Does Sakuya actually care for Aine, or is she just another sexual conquest for him? Will Aine fulfill her dreams and become a professional lyricist, or has she simply sold her soul to Lucifer?

5.0 out of 5 stars review, June 19, 2006

There's always a crowd of pretty young girls hanging out backstage ready to provide "fan support" to Sakuya, the dreamy frontman for hard rockin' Lucifer. Unfortunately, the one girl he most desires doesn't seem to want him.

Or so he thinks....In reality, Aine is hopelessly in love with the lanky, leather-clad heartthrob. But cruel circumstances have conspired to keep them apart.

Now Sakuya has been cast on a popular TV show with a co-star who just happens to be the first woman he ever slept with! It's no secret she's more than ready for another romp with him. Will he be able to resist her sexual advances and hold out for the woman of his dreams...?

3.0 out of 5 stars entertaining, but quite unrealistic, May 9, 2005

This review is from: Sensual Phrase (Kaikan Phrase) Vol.3 (Paperback)

This series, while not the best I've ever read, is somehow very addicting. The storyline is completely unbelievable, but my favorite genre is fantasy, so I can't say much about that. It's about a high school girl who writes decent sexy lyrics, and one day the lead singer of an incredibly popular group finds one of her songs after he nearly runs her over with his sports car.

From there, the story just gets wilder. She becomes the lyricist for his group, as well as his lover. He buys her a house to live in, she gets kidnapped by a rival corporation, he gets kidnapped and tortured, and it's all because she writes these ok songs. She doesn't seem to have parents, because she's always with the guy, and no one seems to care.

And yet I would still give the series 3 stars because there is a lot of emotion (also a lot of sex, so I wouldn't recommend it for kids under 16), the artwork is decent, and the artist clearly loves what she does. I'm always a fan of enthusiasm. I would definitely recommend a test drive before buying. It is actually a series I plan on completing, so I certainly don't hate it. But read it at your own risk.
