Has anyone else seen this OVA? There's two of them and they're very dark and gritty but oddly beautiful. Even with the whole slavery thing(PETs) and the violence(some of it implied) Is there a manga for this? Anyone know?

If you havent seen it please do....its not very graphic and has a plot(OMG!!! A PLOT!!!)) and although the art is a little dated it is still beautiful. The ending of the second and final OVA will probably make you cry.

More info on wikipedia...look it up.

I believe Ai no Kusabi has some novels, not manga. The novels haven't been licensed and from the short conversation Forchan and I had with the head of BeBeautiful, it doesn't look like licensed will be any time soon. >>

The art is rather nice. Iason is very pretty. ^^

I loved Ai no Kusabi... but it was upsetting at the end...

my desktop has Ri-kun on it O___o

Iason pwns, blondies pwn... and I would read the novels if I could read Japanese... but alas, I cannot. I want something from this lovely fandom to be licensed some time though

I liked Ai no Kusabi, especially the ending. The plot was a little confusing, but that's probably because I read a bad summary and I kept referring back to that. The art was beautiful, too.

The really creepy thing, though, is that I think I read an Inuyasha fanfic when I was like twelve that borrowed the Ai no Kusabi universe. It felt like the Twilight Zone...

Yes, I really liked the Ai no Kusabi OVA, especially the second.
I cried in the end, although I didn't expect to.
I found it to be very moving, and the plot suprised me because it was very clever.
And also, I just LOVED it each time Iason would say the word "pet".
The face expression and the voice then was so awwwww......

I like it a lot. Iason's expressions are awesome.

Has anyone here read Taming Riki by Kira Takenouchi? It's wonderful. I think there are points that surpass the original series. If you haven't read it and are an AnK fan, you should. I can't link it, because it's NC17, but there are adds for it on aff.net.
Kira is the goddess of AnK fandom.
Her original stories are pretty good too.

Ai No Kusabi is the best Yaoi anime I have seen. The only thing I didn`t get was the world they lived in. The ending was sad and beauteful

Currently reading 'Taming Riki' and I must say that I'm in love with it and Kira Takenouchi. She (I think she's a 'she...) writes it beautifully and carries the plot so well.

Kira is okay her stories are a bit repetitive with the sex. Never thought I'd read an 80+ chapter PWP. If you want to read a spectacular Ai No Kusabi fanfiction, read Wasteland, there's a link to it in Kira's links.
