mwoa's manga / #Romance(1935)

How could I describe this masterpiece. First of all, I would categorize this as yaoi because even though the amount (and spiciness) of sex scenes were minimal they gave a lot of impact that you'll remember it for a long time. The story pace was slow; sensei really took time to develop the main characters and the supporting characters around them so that their relationship could grow organically. And I really love how realistic it feels of the main characters relationship; most of yaoi that I've read either a pwp or if not, happened in a some universe where being gay is all flowers and rainbows. We could see how sensei beautifully nurtured youichi's character each chapter; seeing him grow through each hardships and finally realizing that the man who helped him along the way is the one he love. If you're looking for yaoi with an incredibly amazingly superbly fantastically wonderful storyline, this is the manga that you want. The years of waiting for each chapter are worth it.

The main arc in my opinion has a really good storyline. Yoshinaga-sensei, in my opinion, was able to explore the bitterness of an unrequited love in a sweet way with the elaborate characters and back story of each characters. Unfortunately, if you're more of a visual person like me, this manga is a tough to read because, I swear to god, I felt like reading a novel; the manga are mostly text. And if you haven't know, this manga had been adapted into TV series in Japan movie in 2001 and movie in 2008 in South Korea.

The spicier extra chapters! Finally got to see tachibana move on and try to be happy :')

"Shouldn't one of them end up losing?" That's the epitome of evilness But damn, thisnis one of the most beautiful BL I've ever read. Misha and Ilya's arch will remain the best story ever.

I was about to drop this manga because the first few stories with the masters are too cliche. I thought the premise of 'destiny' between aoi and jirou was gonna hard to develop; I could see that the story could be done in less than 180 pages. But thank god the story developed into the romance between the butler. And I must admit that the mangaka develop the story really well for the butlers; the stories were treated like a new arc for the manga instead of a side story. I could see Miyauchi's character grew realistically, without it being rushed. The artwork itself was really great and the sex scenes were plenty and definitely hot. Overall, this is a great manga with great storyline and artwork.

A cute short story of a cross-dressing seme with a once-straight uke. Super cute.
