Alien refugees have come to Earth. They call themselves 9-Lives. Humans call them cat-boys, and force them to live as collared pets. Conri, a rebellious young 9-Life, ran away to escape this fate. But when a human named Adrian saves him from capture, Conri is torn between his desire for freedom and another desire he can't quite admit, even to himself... Can two people meet as equals in a world divided between masters and slaves?
Writer Bio: Rachel Brown: When Rachel Manija Brown was seven years old, her post-hippie parents joined an ashram, or spiritual commune, in India. The ashram was devoted to Meher Baba, best known for his insipid slogan, "Don't worry, be happy." She was the only foreign child within a hundred mile radius. Rachel's first book, All the Fishes Come Home to Roost: an American Misfit in India, is the true story of her childhood. After escaping the ashram, Rachel became the youngest person ever to receive an MFA in playwriting from UCLA. Her play Driving Past was produced off-Broadway before she was old enough to drink. She worked at the Jim Henson Company for five years and is creating a TV series for them now. Her general website is www.rachelmanijabrown.com. Her manga website is www.projectbluerose.com. She loves to get email from readers, so please feel free to write! >>>>>>>>>> Artist Bio: Bayou: Bayou was born in Jakarta, Indonesia and moved to Bandung in 2005 to work as an illustrator for a top magazine company. She's loved to read, write, and draw since an early age. She dreamed of becoming a journalist when she was young and even entered a college majoring journalism. But she later took a big turn and become an illustrator instead. Drawing, which had been her hobby since 4th grade is now her current job. Working on a manga has always been one of her dreams as well, but she never expected to get a surprising offer from TOKYOPOP. And also came the opportunity to work with writer Rachel Brown, who is now helping her completing the script Bayou made for The Nine-Lives. "My English is bad," Bayou says while laughing. "It's not that bad, but there must be someone who edits everything I say in English! I know what I want tp say, but that doesn't mean I always do it right." (*everyone nods)

I really like this, I hope there will be a second volume. I hardly ever like OEL's but this one seems to really have great art, great story, and authentic style.

...Wow, Tokyopop is doing its own yaoi now o.o? They did Gravi all those years ago, but nothing since (Loveless doesn't really count...Though Wild Adaptor is inching towards yaoi with every volume...). now they've got this, silver Diamond and Vassalord. Oh well, I guess it's a good sign, maybe they'll pick up Kizuna next, since BeBeautiful seems to have dropped off the face of the earth (And really kinda sucked anyway).
