I started this reading out of curiosity because the universe seemed to be quite originale, but realised that not only the autor did created a complete imaginary universe (oriental) but she/he made it a hellish world, where the young boys have to prostitute themselves with old men and "officials" to progress in their "career"... A real Bullshit !! What's the point of studying so hard if you just have to lay down your body on bed and fuck with people ? Fuck !! Another hellish and so unreal universe of yaoi that I can't stand anymore... It bored me at a point that I have to drop the lecturing of this yaoi to save my nerves... Stop at chapter 4 and I have to say that I didn't have the courage to read chapter 5 (just watch rapidly the images was enough...). Besides, additioned to that, if you think that their relationship is pretty fucked up... 2 **
well i do agree with you, this is one boring ass manga. but for "hellish yaoi world" look it's not like they had to have sex with older man all the time, just that one time as initial ceremony. there is a similar stuff around the world, you know. but boring plot and no smexy scenes and uke is bleghr so whatever 2/10
and you should read only romance and shounen ai kind of yaoi
I'm not familiar with their religion and culture. But I know as a fact that there is a social structure where underage boys are kept to be used as substitute for women in Japan. There is a manga with that setting.

I couldn't believe it existed in reality so I did a bit of research and found that they practice the same culture in Japanese Buddhism (monks), Military (Samurai) and Middle-class (merchants). You can read the wikipedia page here -

So I think the mangaka may not have made up her entire universe. She was either using the Japanese social structure as a reference or maybe Islam society also have similar practices.It's a fact that homosexuality existed in medieval Islamic history. There were cases of Sultan/rulers coercing males into sexual relationships and executing them if they refused. You can read it here -

Oh, you're well informed.
Thank you a lot ! Yes, I knew that there were something like this amongs samourais, but never thought that other social classes would practice it too...
About the Sultans, I knew taht something like this existed, hough not at the reate they'll execute the poor guys if they refuse :/ Finally it's better to live nowadays.
Something like that occured also in the ancient Greece... Such a world ( ̄へ ̄)
I think ancient Greece was a bit more free compared to other cultures (not very sure). They regard sex between men as something recreational or romantic so I don't think there are any forced/pressured situations like initiation ceremonies and sleeping your way up to the top. Except for the sex slaves (both men and women). Classes other than slave can choose whether they want to have homoerotic affairs or sleep their way up; just like in modern society.
Opps! My bad..they have the system ( ̄へ ̄)

Thank you for all these informations. That'll be good for any artist or amator artist to grab those informations in order to create stories about this subject.
Yeah, In Greece, all sort of relationship and trades may have exist... From free will to obligation to sex slavery and pederasty... After all, it's Greece (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
Sorry for my bad english and the repetition of my formulations in the preview reply, I was in the hurry. Thanks for taking the time to give me all those links.
Hahaha... as expected by Sadisthiro sensei ( ̄∇ ̄")... I don't even want to judge this kind of work. It is out of my mind, clearly...
If there is anything I learned about BL, it's : Dont take seriously yaoi, but even more, Sadisthiro's yaoi, haha.
