Product Description: Is this desire for freedom the very thing that entrapped us? Let Dai is a tragic tale of forbidden love and unforgivable betrayal. Set in a soulless neo-Seoul ruled by young punks and pleasure seekers, an amoral teenager named Dai is the living embodiment of the city's beauty and cruelty. As the leader of the vicious Furies gang, Dai seduces everyone who lays eyes on him, only to blind them to his own barbaric nature. When an honest schoolboy named Jaehee rescues a beautiful girl from being mugged by the Furies, he can?t possibly realize how this brief encounter will plunge him into a downward spiral of unbridled passion and unfathomable pain. From his brutal gang initiation to an unspeakable act committed against his girlfriend, Jaehee wavers uncomfortably between revulsion and fascination. And in Dai he finds a tender, caring friend one moment and a heartless sociopath the next, awakening strange and unhealthy desires in Jaehee that he could never before have imagined.
great read for 16+ readers I have read A LOT of manga, and I constantly seek better and better stories since I am older and have high expectations of the written language. I started reading this series because of the beautiful artwork. The series has just sucked me in with it's complexity, development, angst, intensity, and emotion. The author and artist work together seamlessly to create one of the best reads for this genre (Shonen ai) that I have read since discovering Manga and Yaoi. I keep hoping this will continue much longer, but then I wonder if my heart can take any more -- it is so intense. The characters are wonderfully and thoroughly developed and their lives and stories contain so much of what young adults must face in dealing with going from youth to adults and beginning relationships. So many difficult decisions to be made... You can't go wrong with this series if you enjoy a GREAT READ and BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK. Start at the beginning and prepare for a rollercoaster ride of walking the thin line between good and bad, right and wrong, forbidden and accepted lifes of youth today.
