Product Description
The Native American Stallion is out for revenge on the cowboy who ruined his life, but he has competition from Josey, another one of cowboy Bill's victims. Enemies at first, they unite to fight against their common adversary. They find they share a bond due to the horrible thing Bill did to both of them. Stallion and Josey are both damaged, both suffering. They find comfort in each other, and hopefully, satisfaction against their enemy Bill. If a main story by KOSEN wasn't already enough, readers also will enjoy a yaoi vampire tale by the talented duo. Sagan's father was killed by a vampire whose love was not reciprocated. Now the vampire sees Sagan as a new way for his love to be requited, but Sagan just wants him dead.

Good But Not Great December 16, 2008

I was really looking forward to this one once I read the summary. The idea of a wild west Yaoi was quiet fascinating to me as the wild west doesn't often get used in these sorts of things. I was happy to find the main story was actually quiet good including a bit of comedy (two guys arguing naked while strapped to a horse) and lots of sexualness which is what most of us fan girls look for in this type of things (am I right?). I would have enjoyed it if this story was a bit longer.
Of course it doesn't and there are a couple side stories. Unfortunately they aren't quiet as interesting as the first story and go even faster. 'Eien', the first story, is a vampire story centering around a vampire and the son of the mortal man he loved. It's kind of too quick although slightly interesting. It's just a story I've seen before so it's not so great.
'Cancellation of Darkness' is a strange story which involves demons and a young boy he seems to be in trouble with everyone he gets close to until he meets a man who understands his trouble. I don't much care for the art of this one, and I'm not a big fan of the paranormal if it's not ghosts or creatures of that sort. This ones even darker then the vampire one.
All in all not a bad book but I still say that if the main story had been longer it would have been a great one. It's probably still a good one to have in your collection^_^.
 I want a Stallion!! Oh yeah~ September 16, 2008

Well, actually, I give this one a 3.5 rate, but unfortunately that option isn't available, haha.
Due to much hype from certain people here, a friend I know, and by the cover art, I guess I was expecting too much? Either way, I didn't enjoy this book as much as I would have liked to. The art was pretty cute (I love how they did the eyes!), but the story seemed way too rushed for me. The smex scene wasn't much to see (it was the first time I swiftly went through one just to finish faster). Though am I one of the few who actually liked the bad guy even though he did enough to make you hate him deeply (as a character)?
On the 2nd story, it was decent. Yay for vampies~! Would have loved to see this one continued!
The 3rd story was very different! It was awesome how it ended <3 Though I didn't like how either character was drawn.. it was pretty low in my opinion.
The last story I hate because it's only a few pages long before it leaves you hanging! I want to know what happens here too.
All in all, I think this book is worth getting if you get it half-off or something. If not, then borrow it from a friend and see if you like it before committing to buy.
 Cowboys, vampires and demons. All in one book! May 2, 2008
Christian Otto (Germany)
First I have to say that I like the classical Japanese yaoi manga's, but I also jump at any possibility to read a yaoi in a fresh setting. Like this one. The book consists of three stories.
The story 'Stallion' is set in the Wild West. Stallion (native american) and Josey (cowboy) both have enough reason to hate and want to kill Bill (no pun intended) (also cowboy), as they were both raped by him. But as they begin hunting Bill together they realize that there are more important things in life than revenge. I liked the story, even though the revenge thing is not new, but the drawings again are beautiful. I really like everything by KOSEN.
The second shorter story 'Eien' is about a vampire and a vampire hunter. The vampire hunter Ashen is hunting a vampire who has killed his father. Will he get his revenge and for what price? Again the revenge theme, but this time with a twist. Even though this is an older work by KOSEN, the drawings are already very good.
And the third story 'Cancellation of Darkness' is about a young men who is haunted by a demon. Kai is haunted by a demon since he was a little boy. Bradley, an expert in everything paranormal, wants to help him get rid of the demon and he succeeds, or does he? The drawings by Amelia Woo still seem strange to me at first, but as this is the second story by her I've read, I begin to like her style.
An overall enjoyable read with very good drawings.
Lovely artwork, good (although short) story May 1, 2008
Amelia Mavis (Far Northern Maine)
While it would have been nice to devote a little more time to developing this story, I still thoroughly enjoyed this book. As a Native I thought the treatment of the Native characters was good although sort of in the 'noble savage' vein.
The artwork is very fanciful and stylized with wide eyed innocents with perfect bodies. YUM!

well, i have to say that it is not one of the best, but for an newer mangaka, Kosen is really good. the art is very screentone friendly ^^ i liked it very much for an artist that is not Japanese.
