Title: Ki-Me-Ra
Author: Kazuma Kodaka
Zero Comics

Genre: Shonen ai

Theme: Supernatural fantasy/sci-fi. A vampiric space being that looked like a burn victim followed a lost cargo, Ki-Me-Ra, to Earth. Following in their wake, Ki-Me-Ra's retainer, whose mission was to fulfill Ki-Me-Ra's wish to be killed if he was to become a vampiric being (and he did). Enter point three of the triangle-- the human scientist who found and fell in love with Ki-Me-Ra. The subject in question, with zero recollection of his past seemed to be interested in two things in his new environment: Blood and Sex.

Artistic Value: 2 Not Kodaka's best work. Like Kizuna I, she's still struggling with body proportions.

Yaoi Value: 2.5

UST: 1 Ki-Me-Ra's retainer adored him before he became a vampiric creature but they were not lovers. Too bad. The retainer's a lot better looking and not to mention studlier than the nerdy scientist whom Ki-Me-Ra ended up shacking up with.

Overall: 2.75 The ending was a disappointment. The retainer died trying to kill Ki-Me- Ra and asked the nerd boy to please finish the job. It's what Ki-Me-Ra wanted and if he loved Ki-Me-Ra, he'd do it. Instead, the scientist impregnated him.

Mitigating Factor: Two Words: Pregnant Man.
