From the creator of Fake comes a strange story of love and sex-changing creatures of the night.
The story revolves around Marlo Vincent, a half-vampire half-werewolf, and his suitor David Vincent. For Marlo, being a werewolf shouldn't be a problem, except for one thing, instead of turning into a four legged furry beast he turns into a woman, yep that's right a woman. Enter his childhood friend David, playboy extraordinaire and vampire, who just happens to want the female half of Marlo as his wife. Taking a break from the serious character development and long drawn out stories, Until the Full Moon is a funny romp though the world of the creatures of the night. Follow the two as they work though their relationship, deal with old lovers, jealous friends, and a spastic family and see what develops under the light of the night.
At first I wasn't sure if I could really call this a shonen-ai title,
since Marlo spends at least half of the story as a female, but with
David's opinion that it dosen't matter what form Marlo is in, to Marlo's
distress, I suppose it passes enough. If you're dead set against females,
or something that looks like one most of the time, in your boys love,
then I wouldn't suggest this one, but if you want a sweet love story
that proves love knows no bounds then you will love it.
