 Hard to find Treasure May 9, 2008
J. L. Duncan (Walnut, CA, USA)
I searched for this book for nearly two years before finally thinking to look on amazon. The story is great with interesting characters and plot. Be warned of the incest mentions (but non exists) and watch for random acts of sexual deviance. This book is truely a great one to add to any yaoi collection.
Golden Cain by You Asagiri September 1, 2007
Elisa Rolle (Italy)
Shun is a young japanese man with a inferiority complex with his older brother Keiichi. During day he tries to be the perfect guy his parents want, but at night he hangs out with bad company. One night he is rescued by a difficult situation by Cain, an half vietnamite half european model. Cain was the idol of keiichi and now he becomes Shun's lover... Shun is bertraying his brother?
Golden Cain is not a bad yaoi, but I think it could be better: there are a lot of sex scenes, but seems that the mangaka is braking her creativity. Even if you have plenty of sex it is a mild sex. Even the graphic is "obscured"...
The characters are funny, when I was reading it I find myself wondering if Cain is really a little dump or if he is posing being so. In the end he is not a strong seme, but in some pictures he is gorgeous.
In the end I enjoyed reading it but I hope that in the second volume, You Asagiri will have the courage to dare more.
A great buy! August 25, 2007

Hot sex, cool seme, cute uke and dark plot(though not too deep or developed). what else are you looking for in yaoi? this has it everything. The 'love'or 'sex' between the characters isn't what you call cute or cheesy. and if a little incest doesn't bother you, then this is perfect for you.
I think it was pretty good... May 2, 2006

I read so many reviews and they all contradicted one another. I read the storyline for myself and went by the cover picture of the manga; needless to say, I bought Golden Cain. I can honestly say, Cain is so very sexy and delectible and you can better see that when you flip open the pages to delve into the world of yaoi. Shun plays the uke(the weak sobbing one), great if you're into that sort-of thing. Cain, most decidely, the hot seme.
The story was not to deep, maybe even a little cheesy throughout. It basically was there to set up for the 5 or 6 times, he and Cain have sex, (some neat plot twists though). I was just a tiny bit disappointed at what they didn't show. They showed a little, but it was "drawn over" by some untranslated words.
The pain Shun does endure is heart-wrenching. I am not a plot-ruiner; but there are 3 major twists having to do with 3 characters in the story that leaves you a little awestruck.
Not the most awesome, but I have definitely added Golden Cain to my short list of favorites. A great buy for any Cain-like character admirers.

Is if you want a smut fix. Yes, Asagiri You's a respected mangaka, yes, there's a lot of sex in this, but the story and the characters are just . . . annoying as all git-out. Shun's one of those weepy, whiny ukes and Cain, the self-styled "Golden Beast", is about as seductive and menacing as Sebastian Bach. On a bad day. The plot, such as it is, hinges on the ol' dead sibling aspect, except that the sibling's not really dead. In fact, he's alive. And in love with his brother, who's--oh, never mind. And the dialogue? The less said, the better. Which is a maxim I wish the author had followed.
