I liked this anime from the start because it featured a cute young guy barefoot in a forest with healer powers dressed in Heian costume.

But aside from that, Kashou no Tsuki was nice but not emphatic. Said cute young guy (Arimasa) grows up to be look somewhat like Hikaru no Go's Fujiwara Sai -- with a boy attached to him. We learn that this boy - Kagetsu - is actually of a shapeshifter (? cat, to be specific) tribe, and had some history with Arimasa, though it's hard to reconcile the black cat from Arimasa's youth with the blonde youth here. Apparently the hair colour changed when he grew up.

In any case, amidst a pretense of a plot involving attacks from some neighbouring shaman, who is voiced by the delightfully dry voice of Shiozawa Kaneto (Seiyuu for Iason Mink of Ai no Kusabi), there's frustration abound as Kagetsu enters puberty and will die (his body will waste away?) if he doesn't mate with someone.

Obviously he wants to do this with his Sensei. But obviously his Sensei is oblivious. Come to think of it, Kagetsu isn't really a guy because he's of no set gender until he mates. (Makes me wonder whether he'll -still- be a guy if he ends up mating with a guy...I don't feel like considering the other alternative. XD)

This review sums it up -

I also thought there was something REALLY familiar with the Seiyuu for Arimasa, and it turns out he not only played in Bronze/Zetsuai as Izumi, he also played in Angel Sanc as Kira Sakuya, Weiss Kreuz as Aya, and Fushigi Yuugi as Hotohori. Talk about bishounen buffet. It -is- funny, though, this comic strip that suggests he's the "ultimate bishounen seiyuu" but "tend(s) to play the same character all the time". Hurhur.
