Taming Riki: Volume I, Part 1 Paperback – September 29, 2014

If you like Ai No Kusabi this is the book to read (the complete series actually by Kira Takenouchi.) It fleshes out the entire concept and delves deeper into the relationship between Riki and Iason, as well as many of the secondary characters. I tried other books and they are no where near as descriptive and well written as these. Costly but worth it!

After this series I'm a Takenouchi fan for life. I've read and re-read this series and can't wait for the conclusion (although I never want it to end).

Came quickly and in perfect shape. Just think that all should know though, that while these were good books, they are not actually part of the original story.They are basically written as filler by a different author and are mostly graphic scenes of intimacy.So if you've read the original story(which I strongly recommend! Especially reading that first)then these books are not an extension of that story. Which I kind of thought they were when i first got them. They were still good, but like I said, basically filler porn.

One of the best stories I have read. I love the original anime of Ai No Kusabi, and these books just bring that world into a whole new life and perspective. Brilliant and sexy and a must read. I highly recommend this series. The author really makes this world come alive and its is very addicting.

Kira's work is absolutely amazing - the world's she creates and the character's she comes up with are all so dynamic! Her work is beautifully written and I recommend her to all of my friends!

I was worried about this being as good as the anime, but it’s better. It’s not the official story but it’s based on it and even better

I am a fan of this author and can not wait to read the next Volume, which is out but not available anywhere yet.

That was really hard to read. Like straight up abuse. I don’t think I can take any more of this story…

It would have been 5 stars if not for the constant repetition. This book could have been half the length and would have been better for it. The plot is really good but there are so many ‘erotic’ scenes between plot points you forget what happened. I know it’s meant to be an erotic story unfortunately the sex isn’t all that erotic it’s just the same screen with a minor change again and again and it wasn’t exactly mind blowing the first time. I’m unsure if I’ll continue with this series I want to know what happens but don’t know if I can force myself to slug through all the repeated sex to find out.

Era um livro que estava esperando há muito tempo.Uma pena que as imagens ilustrativas internas não são coloridas como na primeira edição.Já li a primeira edição mas não tinha na minha biblioteca.

Kira Tagenouchi hat eine bittersüße Lovestory rund um den Blondie Iason Mink und dem Mongrel Riki erschaffen.Lesen durfte ich die Geschicht schon vor einigen Jahren und jetzt endlich ist sie auch hier in Deutschland erhältlich, ich hoffe dass all die anderen Bände auch bald erscheinen werden.Zur Vorgeschichte:Iason Mink ist ein Blondie, einer Elite angehörend welche die Geschicke auf dem Planeten Amoi bestimmt. Zu ihrer Unterhaltung halten sie sich Pets, diese Haustiere sind menschlich und werden streng gehalten, diese müssen ihrem Herrn zu Gefallen sein. Scheinbar Asexuell lassen sie ihre Pets miteinander kopulieren und führen sie vor.Andere Menschen dienen als Furniture und werden kastriert, damit sie von ihrer Aufgabe, dem Haushalt vorzustehen, nicht abgelenkt werden.Die einheimischen, unterpriviligierten Mongrels sind geächtet, nicht erlaubt in den großen Städten und leben von Raub, Diebstahl, Drogen und ähnlichem in Ceres in einem Ghetto.Riki, der Gangleader von der Gruppe Bison trifft eines Tages auf den mächtigsten Blondie, Iason Mink. Sein Schiksal wird besiegelt, als Iason Mink den Mongrel Riki the dark, als Pet zu sich nimmt.Zum Inhalt:Riki freiheitsliebend und stolz fügt sich nur schwer in sein neues Leben als Haustier und wird von Iason Mink täglich gezüchtigt und gedemütigt. Trotzdem entwickeln beide Gefühle füreinander und kommen sich immer näher. Langsam darf Riki mehr Freiheiten genießen, aber kontrolliert von seinem Petring kann Riki sich weder in der Stadt Eos frei bewegen, geschweige denn nach Ceres entfliehen.Lord Raoul Am, ein enger Freund Iason's ist wenig begeistert von dem aufmüpfigen Riki und tut alles um dem Mongrel das Leben zu erschweren.Die Ereignisse spitzen sich zu, bis eines Tages Riki entführt wird und........Die Bücher sind sehr sexy geschrieben, BDSM/Spanking und nur für erwachsene Leser geeignet. Aber wer sich dafür entscheidet, wird garantiert auf seine Kosten kommen!

Explicit expressions and erotic materials. Enjoyed reading it to explore the author's imagination. Not suitable for family book reading session.

I actually got this for the world building, and I'm halfway through and it's all been focused on the two leads. I really hope that we get more information on the incredibly well crafted world seem in the anime!
