...ohh, man...apologies to those who prefer Saimin's all-ages material, but this is definitely the one some of us have been waiting for: an erotic fantasy adventure starring Mugen and the kitsune version of Jin who's already familiar to fans of Saimin's website. Mugen walks along the road one moonlit night munching from a box of dumplings (griping "I got stuck delivering the food again"), and the smell of food (and the occasional dropped dango) attracts a hungry fox, which follows him. Mugen apprehends the furry bandit, wondering if "you're really someone in disguise", but decides those stories can't really be true and tosses the fox aside, telling it to get lost. He should've listened to the stories: the rebuffed fox turns into a handsome, fox-tailed young man in indigo blue...and, yes, with glasses. "It's a good thing I'm sober," remarks Mugen. =) [[So if I have this right, the real Jin is somewhere waiting with Fuu for Mugen to bring home the take-out food; this youkai has drawn his image from Mugen's mind.]]==Kitsune-Jin's primary interest is still in the food, but that changes.. kitsune are notorious seducers, they tell me, with a vampiric streak to boot. Mugen can't think how to defeat the youkai at first, but when it unexpectedly giggles when tickled, Mugen guesses "your weakness is down there", and you can guess where that'll lead. Kitsune-Jin tries to keep his tail clamped down to protect himself from insistent Mugen, who finally pulls the tail aside and kneels on it--saying "it ain't exactly canon [yes, canon!] but it'll do." You haven't said much--you're gonna say my name, Mugen insists, and after pages of gorgeously drawn and very explicit sex, the kitsune does (ticking Mugen off--presumably he wanted it said in the heat of the moment). Kitsune-Jin resumes his fox form and vanishes into the moonlit darkness, angry Mugen yelling after him that "you'd better never come near me ever again-- I'll toss your ass straight into the stewpot!"; but after it's gone, he adds to himself, "so...that beast exploits people by detecting their true feelings".

This won't be for everyone, but...as I said above...those inclined toward this sort of thing will love it to death. It is outrageously beautiful in classic Saimin style, the visual narrative style is dramatic and intense, and, oh, man, kitsune-Jin is simply to die for. *swoon*
--Three stars, but definitely not for all ages.

Yet another different theme from the versatile and imaginative Saimin: a formal bondage vignette with dominatrix-geisha-seme Jin and uke Mugen. In chains, yet. =) An anticipatory-looking Mugen arrives at a door; he's not pleased to find that what's waiting for him inside is Jin, in formal kimono and drop-dead-sexy high-heeled sandals. The room also contains a decorative round bed and wrist shackles attached to the wall with long chains. They sit on the bed, Jin smokes his long kiseru pipe, they apparently discuss what's about to happen. Jin explains that he's done this sort of work before, "but I had no choice then"; he was hired by the manager here, a past acquaintance, "because of my discretion". Mugen says he'll pay 30 for a night and Jin accepts. Then we see naked Mugen in the shackles; Jin licks him, wondering aloud if he'd like whipping or hot wax, and straddles him, saying he'll be punished for his "wicked, nasty thoughts". He produces what seems to be a jar of lubricant, takes Mugen in hand and brings him off; then kisses him with a hand across his throat, and sits back looking strange and severe, saying "this is all part of my service". Why the hell is he harassing me like this? wonders Mugen. --Hot, but very odd and subtle stuff, with Saimin's trademark gorgeous art.

"Saimin presents 'UNTITLE' "

12 pages, black and white with B/W cover.
PG-rated.

==Many blessings on ryu_kk009 for the translation.

The second-shortest of the Saimins is a strange, moody little thing, part flashback, part sex scene, with a thoughtful, troubled vibe. Jin contemplates the lack of peace in his life--"I want to kill. I want to be killed. That's why I said this to him..." --while Mugen chides him for being so distracted during sex. What he actually said to Mugen (we see in flashback) was "Yaritai", roughly 'let's do it', which in different characters can either be read as a challenge to fight or an invitation to sex; Mugen chose the latter, and Jin goes with it while abstractedly wondering just what they're doing and why. "Anything that was left behind as I set out on this journey had never been my concern to begin with. I only have my swords, after all. And yet, why am I this anxious? It is as if. . . this weight (of Mugen, I believe) is the only thing that prevents me from flying apart.--That's it." Mugen coaxes him to relax, but Jin is still wondering "How did we get here? Why. . .?" in the fade-to-black. ---No explicit detail, but Saimin never tires of drawing Jin with his knees folded over Mugen's shoulders, which is why I put it here and not in All Ages...

"Saimin presents 'feat. Arles' "

8 pages, black and white in plain grey folded cover, issued in printed brown envelope.
X-rated.

==Many thanks to bigbigtruck for the summary.

This is now the shortest of the Saimins, at a mere eight intense and enigmatic pages. We're in somewhere hot and dusty-looking, Spain or Mexico; Mugen is a bullfighter (wearing tank top, jeans and boots but his sword still on his back), Fuu a local girl he quarrels with (in long dress and parasol) and Jin is a farmer-ranchworker type (long-sleeved white shirt, hat) who seemingly falls for him on sight. There's some kissing and quick, dramatic sex. Mugen can't forget about him, and eventually leaves the bed he's sharing with an anonymous girl to find him, only to walk in on him being taken from behind by another man. While Mugen stands there stunned, Jin suddenly reaches for his katana and runs the man through. Mugen, staring wildly, draws his sword...all we see at the ending is Fuu standing in a field of sunflowers....

(It's apparently set after the Spanish Civil War: Mugen is narrating the story of how he retired to a small house outside of the city, owned by Miss Arles (Fuu) who became his employer. He's confused and conflicted about his affair with Jin (he's good in bed =) which affected him more deeply than he wants to admit; he's gone for five days; when he returns and finds Jin with the other man "something was hit inside me" and he's about to slice up the interloper when Jin takes care of that detail. They bury the corpse, and a tree/flower grows out from it, and to this day (??) he sees Miss Arles gazing at it from time to time.)
===Typical Saimin-style weirdness, bloody and erotic but still haunting and dreamlike. Reprinted in her 2006 volume "Kaleidoscope/Syndrome".
