Probably Shinoyama’s best book. Made in collaboration with Dan (who’s a legend in the SM world). According to Dan- “My book editors often confuse S/M with cruelty and they want me to write some ‘punishment tale’ for them. This type of story is out of my realm. It just gives me the creeps. Rather, my concept of S/M is ‘distorted sexual desire’ or extreme disorientation. It’s a male fantasy derived from love… from seeing a beauty suffer through the sense of shame. Therefore, my style contains a romantic, aesthetic, and sometimes decadent fragrance.”
