The street punk Noah made the mistake of pick-pocketing a crime lord right before he had a meeting with an embassy official. When crime lord Tokihiko can't produce his identification he misses the important meeting. Tokihiko has Noah captured with the intention of torturing him to death. When he sees how beautiful Noah is, he decides to make him his slave instead.
Noah
A shattered home caused Noah to live on the streets. He¡¯s ill-equipped for that kind of life, and is desperate to survive. His lack of street-smarts ends up causing him even greater turmoil.
Tokihiko
This Yakuza crime-lord has a cold, calculating personality that wins him the absolute respect of his subordinates. His calm expression stays the same whether he¡¯s taking a life or greeting an acquaintance. There may be a soul within him, but he won¡¯t lower his guard easily.

ENSLAVED BY THE DRAGON
REVIEWED BY: SANDRA SCHOLES OF ACTIVE ANIME
Unlucky kid, Noah Grant picks on the wrong guy when he picks the pocket of a rather important and dangerous crime lord, Tokihiko, and once he is found out, and blamed for him losing out on a major deal costing him five million dollars he gives the kid an ultimatum - either die or become his slave, starting with him kissing his feet. And as he is rather handsome, if a fool he could be in for quite a ride.
Noah's first day does not go as he had planned after serving drinks and doing normal things, he gets ordered to do something he never thought he would do to another man in his life, but as he realizes he must get used to it for if he refuses he is a dead man!
Only nineteen and just started living on his own, he does what he can to survive in the cut throat world outside, and is soon asked by the crime lord he stole from why it is he pickpockets for a living.
An interesting new concept for Studio Kosaru and Laila Reimoz to go for, the mafia line, not only that but the usual artwork of dark lines and simplistic tones on the graphic novel brings it to life nicely. The story is saucy and enticing in its naughtiness. The general thought that the poor boy Noah will be punished in the story is sometimes unbearable, but fans of Yaoi Press's titles will want to endure the pleasurable pain of reading it until the bitter end.
IN SUMMARY: Sintilating story of a guy being in the wrong place at the wrong time, yet what happens to him feels so right! The temptation not to put this book down is so hard.
the art... it was terrible for my taste. I don't know, has it been done by using computer? not very professional and very amateurish. the story was short but it got my attention and I kind of liked it. if it had better art I am sure it would be received higher rates.
Hnn... I didn't particularly care for the art, and the plot was more or less lacking. However, despite that, I liked the basic concept of the story. Gotta love that stockholm syndrome, lol. A quick and satisfying read. It's short little stories like these that I like to read on days where I don't want to have to think about anything complex. XD
