17 Volumes (Complete) [Baka-Updates] Serge Battour is the son of a French viscount and a Romani prostitute, and despite his kind nature and academic talent, is shunned by his family and his peers due to the color of his skin. He begins to attend Lacombrade Academy, his father's alma mater, in the hopes that there he will find a place to belong. Gilbert Cocteau is, like Serge, the orphaned son of a wealthy family, and is infamous at Lacombrade for his beautiful and delicate appearance, lack of dedication to schoolwork, and habit of prostituting himself to other students. He has no intention to connect with any of his classmates, instead devoting himself to his uncle Auguste. Due to a shortage of living space, Serge and Gilbert become roommates even though Gilbert's antisocial nature has in the past made it impossible for him to room with anybody. Serge, being sociable and idealistic, is determined to be friends with Gilbert; Gilbert is only interested in either being able to manipulate Serge or push him away entirely. To the surprise of both of the boys, however, the two eventually form a deep, albeit generally dismal, bond that leads to a romantic connection.

A Cruel God Rules in Heaven - MASTERPIECE, an Award-winning work by Hagio Moto, one of the pioneers of BL. In fact, this deep and mature story is a valuable icon of psychological BL for me. Tragic story of Jeremy, a young boy whose life will be completely destroyed after his mother's remarriage: he'll fall into a downhill spiral, without escape. Content: Child Abuse, Sexual Abuse, Rape, Drug Abuse / Addiction, Dark Ambience, Mind Break, Sadistic Pedophile, Trauma, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Murder, Prostitution - Maybe not everyone can take such a heavy story, it could be disturbing for someone, but I think it depicts, in an exemplary way, harsh aspects such as rape, child abuse, sexual abuse, which are serious issues that traumatize the victim and the wounds may never heal... In Jeremy's case, he was stripped of his human dignity, broken into pieces (both physically and mentally), driven to desperation! But I prefer a story like this, which portrays such aspects, cruel as they are, rather than manga where rape is treated lightly, veiled by romance as if nothing happened... Anyways, returning the the plot, Sandra was almost cruel as Greg, because she actually knew everything, but didn't do anything to help her son!! About the step-brother Ian, I actually liked him and I found interesting the development of his relationship with Jeremy. By discovering about the one who killed his father, he also finds out about the abuse Jeremy had to suffer...so he is torn on what to do: wheter to pursue the path of revenge or atone for his father's sins. Soon this dilemma becomes even more complicated when the lust for Jeremy begins to confuse him and the new question is: is this lust or love? Such a tormented story, but at the end of this thorny path, the one who truly helped Jeremy is Ian, so I want to see something good in this relationship between step-brothers!
