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!

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.

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.

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).

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…
