Boys Next Door Reviews

Rating: ♦♦

I’m starting to think that this series would have fared much better as a one shot. It’s cute and all, but we’re going over the same information that we went over in the first volume. Rei is an incubus and feeds off of the lust that flows off of Fujimaru. Fujimaru doesn’t want to be looked at as a snack and would much rather be humping females. So, he rebuffs Rei even as he accepts being molested. Fujimaru looks for ways to be rid of Rei, up to and including exorcism, but Rei’s not giving up on a sure and easy meal.

Yeah. So, this is the same thing we saw in the first volume with a few minor twists thrown in. We find out that Rei was cursed by a witch for cheating on her, and that one of the members of the exorcism club was a succubus that was cursed into being a male and now has it in for Rei.

I don’t mind rehashing some of the same themes, but when you’re doing the same thing over and over again, it gets a bit tedeous. At this point, I’m not even sure if I want to put the money into getting the third volume. What’s the point of me throwing away ten dollars when I’m just going to end up writing a cranky review, then giving the book away at a yaoi panel? I’m all about supporting the fandom and supporting the companies who make it possible for me to have gorgeous men fucking in my books, but I don’t like to waste my money.
