I won't lie, the story is NOT like any other yaoi typical with only focusing love n sex with 2 main characters in view. But this one really nice n smooth, yet complex n intriguing but at the same time lovely n addicting.

Crimson Spell is a series of Boy's Love manga, licensed in North America by Kitty Media n in Germany by Tokyopop Germany.
The story is about Prince Vald of the kingdom of Alswieth must take up a legendary sword in order to defend his people, but the sword is cursed: having taken it up n used it, Vald now transforms into a demon every night if he is not magically restrained. He goes on a journey to find a magician who can break the curse, and meets Halvir Hroptr, a powerful but arrogant mage who agrees to break the curse if Vald escorts him on his travels.
And so their journeys continue, with Vald and Halvir acquiring companions n developing a strange bond.
Yes, yes, it's about fantasy with various fantasylands n demons, dragons, n quarrelsome magicians n unsually well-developed plot n setting, it's a genre hybrid that works better than most because it gives equal time to both elements. Soooo~ sexy.
