Until the Full Moon

3.5* stars. Marlo and David were best friends as children, but 10 years have passed since they've seen each other. And now thanks to the absurdity of their parents, they're not only friends, but fiancés. Obviously, the only logical thing to do (by manga standards) is to have Marlo, who transforms into a woman under the full moon due to his half-werewolf lineage, marry David, who has been in love with Marlo since they were young. This volume was hilarious. Some of the things were a bit cringy, (including the nineties hairstyles, yeesh,) but the overall atmosphere of the story was something light and silly, a nice break from other serious romance series. The art was also nice, sleek lines and, wise crack aside, I must say there is lot of attention to detail on the hair (and fur) making it stand out beautifully. This is a nice fun, silly series that I do look forward to finding the next and final volume of.

I'm surprised that people are comparing this to Fake...it IS by the same author but it is NOT yaoi!!!! I would say it's just a story (it doesn't fit into yaoi or shoujo)... It is about Vincent, a vampire and a lady's man, and Marlo, who turns into a woman on a full moon! The story is about how Vincent loves Marlo either way and doesn't care about what other people say. When their parents find out, they decide to let Vincent and Marlo get married -- and that's where all the humor and drama starts :) The story is very cute and the artwork is super...as usual! But it's WORLDS away from Fake -- so don't compare them, please!!!

I never saw the series FAKE so maybe that's why I absolutely love this manga! Vampires plus werewolves! And it's a funny series which helps out a lot! I throughly enjoyed the 2 books and I suggest them to anyone interested by boy on boy love/comedy! ^.^

For those of you who have read FAKE, following it through book by book and maybe even buying the FAKE animated feature, we all have a bearing about how good Until the full moon will be. And let me tell you now, it's much better than anticipated. There are characters not until those of the FAKE manga, Marlo a half vampire/werewolf is not unlike Ryo and playboy vampire David not unlike Dee. In this manga, instead of going down the police storylines, it focuses on fantasy. Like in Sanami Matoh's last series there is an equal amount of romance and humour. For people who like slash or fantasy I would add this to your shopping basket. For those of you who liked Fake put this in your basket. For those of you who normally read shojo, put this in your basket. And for those of you looking for something different, put this in your basket. I also recommended Sanami Matoh's FAKE series... [But I figure you might have guessed that] and with Pet shop of Horrors by Matsuri Akino

Once I knew that this book was by the author of FAKE, I picked it up right away. I was amazed when I read it because, not only was it hilarious, it was really romantic. It has a good bunch of fantasy too, so anyone who doesn't mind some yaoi, should definetly read this!!

It was one of the most addicting books I have evey read. If u haven't read, read it now!!!!!!
