Looked around. Couldn't find a thread for it. Surprising tbh 'cos it's one of the best shows this season. If you don't mind a little gay in your animu.


Nature made Ash Lynx beautiful; nurture made him a cold ruthless killer. A runaway brought up as the adopted heir and sex toy of "Papa" Dino Golzine, Ash, now at the rebellious age of seventeen, forsakes the kingdom held out by the devil who raised him. But the hideous secret that drove Ash's older brother mad in Vietnam has suddenly fallen into Papa's insatiably ambitious hands—and it's exactly the wrong time for Eiji Okamura, a pure-hearted young photographer from Japan, to make Ash Lynx's acquaintance...

Ya, you nailed it on the head. If you can get past the gay aspect, which doesn't really bother me, this show is fucking amazing me. It's a lot less annoying than the normal fan-service constant T&A bullshit you see in popular shows. Watched the first 4 episodes tonight, I'll probably watch the next 4 sometime tomorrow. Loving it so far and can't wait to see how it progresses. Looks like it's just going to be 24 episodes and it's WAY easier for me to get sucked into shows that I know will eventually reach their climax and end lol.

Thanks for the recommendation man.

And the gay stuff isn't really as overt as the stuff you get in straight anime with all the fanservice and boobs on show all the time etc. It's sort of more... realistic. Like if this was the situation this is how people would genuinely be. It's a great drama.

This one is probably my favourite this season, it doesn't hold its punches
