To be honest, I had a rough time getting into this book.

I saw it and was intrigued by the title - "Legal Drug" and the description of the green drug store. Being as I live in Colorado, I assumed it's about the adventures of working in a pot shop.

No, no, not at all.

I never figured out the "legal drug" idea. It is about two men who run a drugstore and the two teenagers who live there and work there.

But there's really no drugstore story to speak of. All four of these men have special powers. Rikuo and Kazahaya, the teens, are always sent out to "acquire" special objects with special powers. They are good "finders".

At one point, they go undercover at a private school to steal a ring that is causing a spirit to haunt someone. They find a book that is alive and can suck you right into it. There's more adventures, I forget them at the moment.

This book could have been so much better. I had a bit of trouble following everything (that's normal for me) and the story just never grabbed me. It's mainly men in the manga so there's quite a bit of sexual innuendo there, not just between the obviously gay men but among all the men. (Yaoi - I couldn't remember the name for this. I'm new to manga so I had to read some other reviews.) That was okay, but I wouldn't have minded a female character to get in there and mix it up a bit but it wasn't that kind of a story.

I am curious about Kazahaya's mysterious past, though. Dang it. I have to read volume 2 now, just to find out what's going on. I also don't know much about the drugstore and the clients who keep wanting these objects found. ( )
