"A story about dealing with one's differences and what it means to grow in a tough and at times cruel world, the manga "My Beautiful Man" is one that will capture the hearts of those that have ever felt misunderstood or as an outsider. A story about what it could mean to also find a glimmer of hope that could change one's life yet be as confusing as it is a lesson in understanding oneself. [...] The manga's tale is a deep study on what it means to find one's true self-worth and of trying to distance oneself from inner and outer negative thoughts. And, how that is easier said than done. [...] Enhanced by gorgeous illustrations that you can feel as you see them, this is a beautiful addition to anyone's shelf and one that brings joy and a bright light into issues that at times can be hard to navigate and teach." - Aurora Dominguez, Out SFL
"The angles of bullying and loneliness [...] give My Beautiful Man an empathetic, reflective feel to it. The artwork matches well with the story; its shading and spacing add to the pensive mood, and the attractiveness of the characters is suitable for, well, a manga titled [My] Beautiful Man. My Beautiful Man started out as a light novel series, and TOKYOPOP is releasing the light novels as well as this manga adaptation. In other words, if people enjoy one, they'll probably enjoy the other. Whether you read one version or both, My Beautiful Man is a sweet, melancholic title for fans of BL books." - Danica Davidson, Otaku USA
