I was really excited to read this manga at the beginning because what's hotter than attractive guys on motorcycles. I thought finally some good sports yaoi. Not to mention thrill of racing and some intense boy-on-boy action. But boy was I wrong. To put it bluntly it's about unpleasant training to become the best host. Of course with a lot of random H-scenes.

+ STORY +
The story is pretty simple. Mahiro is a broke racer and he is losing all his races but despite that he still loves to race and will do anything to keep racing. Kiryu owns a host club and recruits ... Mahiro for some unknown reason. Mahiro accepts because he is desperate for money and will do anything. With Kiryu's tutoring he becomes the top host.

+ CHARACTERS +
Well I must say the art is nice, lovely and clean but the characters not so much. Characterization is poor. Kiryu is a blank slate, we don't know anything about him. Mahiro is not an open book either. He obviously has hots for Kiryu but I don't really get why he insists on becoming a top host. Because of money? Or to amaze Kiryu? I didn't quite understand the characters but anyway they were nice to look at.

+ OVERALL +
I expected more. It was too short, the plot was unsatisfying, the characters are poorly developed but it was well-drawn and I recomend it for someone who likes master x slave type stories with not so much romance and a lot smutty scenes.

Good as a smut piece, but not much else.

The main plot of "good looking guy ends up working as an escort/prostitute to pay off debt/fund something important to them" is pretty common in the genre at this point, and this one doesn't deviate much from what one would expect from that. The motorcyclist flare to this one is a nice touch though and I appreciate the cocky-confidence that the MC has about pretty much everything that he does.

Overall though the characters don't have much in the way of personality or development and are fairly one note. We don't really get to see much about their ... motivations or answers to "why" questions about them.

MC goes from escort to prostitute really quickly and in a dub-con pseudo non-con way. We also get some light bondage, three some, and near death experiences thrown in.

In conclusion it was nice to look at, but there's not much substance to it.
