To Take An Enemy's Heart

Complete | yusa | 2013 released

This is truly a work of art for any genre I think. I prefer to read completed but once I started reading this, I was completely compelled. Couldn't stop reading it until I got to the last chapter translated. The trust issues, feeling betrayed, feeling lonely, the constant surprises of a great plot... all the emotions, actions and writing is spectacular. The desperation and the viciousness is so relatable, the art is beautiful, and the yaoi, while at times is for torture, isn't just put in to be hot or appeal to us yaoi lovers. It needs to be there, and it itself is sexy, brutal, loving, harsh, questioning, and necessary.

A cute story about a teacher who is obsessed with the imperial russian eggs and the man he meets when he goes to see one. Cute one shot but too short

57. A story about a young prince who's entire family was betrayed, and his loyal servant who saved him. They encountered a group of bandits in the forest, and their leader bai decided to make a deal with the young prince to keep him safe for a time. Now, 5 years later the young prince is trying to get his land and life back. Here, we have the loyal servant, and the prince who seems to love him, and the bandit leader who has his own love, a young doctor. Both couples seem to have their own plans, though they work together as well. The story is interesting, but way slow, and it is shounen ai. If they could speed this up, and actually show some of the relationship between each couple, it could get better. So far, all it is is showing treacherous plots and backstabbing, and how they are trying to win back the kingdom though completely without enough people. Seems to depend on the intelligence of the young prince, but doesn't explain any of the main couples actual relationship or they personalities.
