Ai no Kusabi Vol. 3: Nightmare by Rieko Yoshihara

3.0

Well, this is was quite disturbingly dark but also deliciously entertaining. Can't properly say with words how absolutely amazing Iason the devious and highly compromised Blondie is. The level of command he has over everyone in every scene, the smoothness of his dialogue, the way he is somehow highly unpredictable and yet completely in his element in any situation... perfection, your name is Iason Mink.

I loved Katze and his coming forth with at least part of his backstory and I'll be damned if Iason does not attract intelligence like a magnet. His household is full of genius hackers and his best friend goes by the name of Mad Scientist. Speaking of, Raoul's endless but well meaning haranguing of Iason if probably my favorite part of every volume. It's so obvious how worried Raoul is about his friend how shocked by the changes in Iason and it breaks my heart a little every time.
