There is much to look at in the sanctuary, but let us start with the altar. It recreates the altar where drugged captives were once placed before undergoing the Rite of Death, which represented their entry into a Living Death. It was at this stage that new slaves had iron masks locked securely onto their heads, which could not be removed except in the unlikely event that they survived long enough to be freed.

Here on the altar, if you wish, you may place a piece of the jackalfire tree, representing your wish that the evils of the past may be transformed by all of us in the present, bringing about rebirth.

[Translator's note: Yet again, Death Mask is the place to learn more about such matters.]

Top Form is adapted from one of my favorite manga, Dakaichi: I'm Being Harassed By the Sexiest Man of the Year. Already the title of the manga let you understand there is a controversial episode in the original story: the young actor, Jun, forces the older actor, Akin, to have sex. Of course it's a romance, therefore Jun and Akin fall in love at episode one and from them moment one it's a slide towards happinness, actually I cannot say if it's an happily ever after, since the series is ongoing, but it's a given. For the drama adaptation, they used the flashback in the manga to fill the first episodes of the story (with little adaptation) and the famous (or infamous) sex scene that is in the first volume of the manga, is actually just a request for an hug in the drama; sex will arrive a little later. Aside from that I have to say they managed to maintain the light comedy style, with little drama. I found a little disconcerting to see it in a Thai drama, instead of a Japanese adaptation, but that is just a visual effect. Both the Thai actors they choose for the drama are good and their chemistry together is really good. The moment of intimacy don't feel akward at all. A little pet peeve of mine, I would have liked some more budget spent on the sideline effect like setting and wardrobe, but indeed the music is really nice. HEA. You can see it on WeTV. Heat Level: 5/6.



Heat Level:
1/6: glances, caress, hugs, no kisses
2/6: kisses, closed mouth or camera angles
3/6: full kisses, clothes on
4/6: full kisses, some clothes off, hands above the waist, pants stay on
5/6: most clothes off, they have sex, but it’s masked, no sexy sounds
6/6: full nudity mostly hidden by camera angles, they have sex, sexy sounds

We're having to rebuild the search server again (previously, previously). It will take a few days to reindex all the content.

Meanwhile search services should be running, but probably returning no results or incomplete results for most queries.
