A very interesting insight of the japanese pop culture (and I hope reality is not so bad for gay lovers)
Toru is an almost thirty years old bassist of a famous band, ChildPreys. He meets and soon falls in love of Hideki, a pop singer at the beginning of his success.
Toru is not so old by age, but is old of life: he has seen everything and made everything and the first time he meets Hideki his first thought is to have another enjoyble affair. But Hideki is only 21 years ol...more

Way too much drama for me. It was one long roller coaster that ended feeling very forced and unrealistic.
I liked the characters but wished their story was written in a more inviting way. By the time the Honolulu incident was said to be a dream and all that horrible crap happened to Hideki I was so frustrated from reading that the end was torture to read. Not pleasant. I just wanted to get it over with as quickly as possible.
It felt, at some points, that the authors just...more

In this angst filled drama, Hideki and Toru go through quite a bit on their path to a happy ever after ending. From their initial miscommunication all the way to the dramatic scene at the end, the angst and problems between these two never seem to end. While the characters are enjoyable and the authors have a deft hand at keeping the drama moving for the most part, the ending was almost a story killer for me. That said, for the majority of the book the characters and their rocky path to love was...more

Wow! What a gorgeous little book. This is about two Japanese pop stars in love. It's adorable and incredibly clever. The writing is airtight and doesn't have that loose, lumpy feel of so many e-books these days. The entire time I was reading it I felt like I was watching a sexy boylove anime in my head. The characters are so alive I could actually visualize them, which is very unusual for me. Most book characters are completely faceless to me, but the writing in Orange Moon made me see vivid pic...more

recommends it for:
fans of yaoi themed romance>music romance
3.5 of 5 really
I liked the story/setting, characters, theme/genre, writing style/author and overall the novel was appealing.
The story of Toru and Hideki (both in Japanese music bands) was interesting because the mental images from the cultural references (real or not) was fun to read about. The characters were young and acted appropriately. The more I read yaoi themed romance the more I like it.

It didn't hold my attention. It wasn't bad and it's better than some of the original slash fics that you find online, but it wasn't awesome either.
I thought I would really like it, since I love visual kei and J-pop, but the book lost me at the beginning with Toru's ridiculous plot to try and endear himself to Hideki (who, by the way, struck me as being one of the whiny uke types)
