"Ian is a painter with a natural-born talent, but his love for painting is soon lost after being forced to work for the cruel and greedy Bardi family. No one knows that he's the genius behind the beautiful works of art that the famous family claims as their own. That is until one day, when the wealthy merchant Raymond comes for a portrait and his interest in Ian is piqued… Can Raymond help him to see the beauty in the world again? Or will Ian's true talent forever remain unseen?" ✰ Merchant x Painter ✰ TW: Abuse, Rape ⤷

i can't believe i spent 4 hours reading this just to be banana fished

oh this was better than i expected it to be. i'm not a super fan of raising a child turning into romance (yes, the interspecies relationship is not what bothered me lmao) but by the end i thought it was sweet.

Ch 42: FUCK THAT CLIFFHANGER Ch 43: things seem to be going a bit too smoothly for a season opener.... [suspicion intensifies] ch 50: *roar* GO. AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ch 55 ch 69

thank FUCK that didn't turn into a tragedy

um hello?? beautiful ass art

i'm not really interested nor invested but i guess i'll read a few more chapters [ch 2] [ch 4] ....ok ill keep reading [ch 6] - dropped...

literally confused and don't think i would like it even if i wasn't, but i'll give it 5 chapters T_T [ch 3] wow, 3 chapters. good for me for trying. dropped

I LOVE THIS MANGAKA
