    Best story I have ever read.
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 June 2011*

Like many others, I first took notice after watching the OVAs - I bought this book expecting it to be a manga and was completely disappointed - even this first novel left me a little sad. But I stuck with it and continued onto the second novel, determined for it to answer and explain more scenes of the OVAs in detail. I have now purchased and read all six novels and I'm infuriated that there isn't a seventh as of yet.I first thought this was a simple pornographic flick but after reading the novels and such, I really don't think it should be placed in that category. The story has been thought out and brought to life with such intricate detail - not one inch of the Ai no Kusabi world is left unanswered and that includes the fantastic characters. Reiko's way with words is astounding and simply blows my mind - although I must admit that at first, I thought she went on a bit (she can turn a five second moment into an entire chapter) but this is what I love about it. You shouldn't buy this book expecting it to be PWP and straight to the 'good stuff', although there are some excellently detailed illustrations for those who are devastated that this isn't a manga. Every intimate scene has a deep impact on the plot, every word spoken has a meaning... to put it bluntly, this book - or rather, the entire story - is one you shouldn't miss.If you're debating whether to read this on your experience of the OVAs, I would say that this has a load more 'extra scenes' and answers the questions the OVAs put forth. It also puts right a lot of myths that have been going on about AnK - for example, the correct laws of their world (which does not include heavy BDSM) and so on.I cannot recommend this novel highly enough.

    best novel
  

*by M***1 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 May 2014*

Futuristic sci-fi yaoi novel that takes you away to a sensual and erotic place and a love between a powerful man and man that comes from a lower class.

    the magnus opus of yaoi fiction
  

*by S***M on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 April 2009*

Ai no Kusabi has often been described as the classic or the magnus opus of yaoi fiction. After over twenty years since its first appearance (albeit in a shorter, different form) it has finally been translated into English.  The author creates a complicated, detailed and imaginative world, the characters well developed, this all ontop of a rich, twisting and unfolding plot. This is the first book so it is only a taster of what is to come. My advice is to stick with it - you will end up loving it like I do.Backing up what an earlier reviewer has already written - do not read AnK if ALL you want is mindless kissing and sex with no substance or plot. If you are already into manga/ yaoi and have not yet read this then my advice is it is a must - there are groups out there with titles such as 'HOW can you be a yaoi fan if you have not read Ai no Kasubi?!'...it is a classic of the genre and reportedly responsible for starting the yaoi craze in the US. And if you have no idea what yaoi is or means...this book will be a good one to start on, not least because it has a great storyline as well as the same sex relationship aspect etc, so even if you find m/m is not your thing, you will have read a great work of fiction by itself.
