Reviewer: Sandra Scholes

Synopsis:
A new BL/Yaoi comic from the novel series Orochi no Kishi! Riding at midnight across the oppressive heat of the Great Salt Flats, racing team boss, Sadao Koga interrupts his mechanic in the garage who is welding in the nude again (with proper safety leathers, of course) and takes him on a moonlight ride up to a cooler mountainside hotspring for a 'break.' Wet, steamy and dreamlike, this encounter soon resonates of something much more powerful and symbolic of the coming time when both men will be forced apart to yearn for a distant reunion. Motorcycles, sweat and leather await! (56 pages - color cover, greyscale interior)
