Memorable Manga Moments: Mayu Shinjo Crossover

So I’m reading the most recent volume 7 of Ai Ore! the other night and my inner fangirl started screaming when Mizuki and Akira went to a Lucifer concert. I remember when the editor was working on this volume she was tweeting about the scene bringing back memories of Sensual Phrase. I happen to be a huge Sakuya fan, so I was thrilled to see the band appear in Shinjo’s Ai Ore! series.

Lucifer in Ai Ore

So yeah, that expression on Mizuki’s face just about sums it up. The fact that the band played Datenshi Blue was an extra bonus I didn’t expect. That happens to be my favorite Lucifer song. I could hear it in my head through the scene.

For those of you who haven’t read Sensual Phrase, or haven’t seen the anime, here’s a short taste of Datenshi Blue.

Lucifer was an actual band in Japan that was put together to record songs for the anime, but they also continued to record more albums as a band afterward. I happen to have the Greatest Hits album. Too bad Sakuya isn’t a real person. I would pay money to see an actual Lucifer concert!  Thanks Shinjo for making volume 7 of Ai Ore! bearable with Lucifer’s performance. It was the highlight of the volume. From one fangirl to another – enjoy!
