As a budding poet and lyricist, Aine is on her way to an audition one fateful afternoon. Absentmindedly stepping into the street, she barely avoids getting struck by an oncoming vehicle. Not only is the cute teenager lucky to be alive, but her brush with death turns out to be a date with destiny. The driver of the car just happens to be Sakuya, the charismatic and fabulously handsome lead singer for a band called Lucifer. In short order, Sakuya and his crew compose a song using Aine's lyrics. The tune proves popular with the band's fans and Sakuya decides he wants a relationship, both professional and personal, with Aine. There's only one small requirement: The lyrics Aine writes must be erotically charged. And guess what? Sakuya fully intends to introduce the young and inexperienced girl into the world of sensual delights. Does Sakuya actually care for Aine, or is she just another sexual conquest for him? Will Aine fulfill her dreams and become a professional lyricist, or has she simply sold her soul to Lucifer?

These two manga are of a similar vintage, and bring the reader on a heady ride through the world of entertainment and rock music. 

Do you like rock?  Do you like talented songwriters?  Do you like group dynamics?  Both these stories have them in spades!  The character designs, and especially the fashion, might seem a bit dated now, but the emotions don't. 

So journey to the Taipei rock scene if you enjoyed the Tokyo one, or vice-versa!
