Swept up into a confusing and lonely new world where everyone seems to be hankering for a taste of his "virgin" blood, En must navigate the FANGS pairing system, an arrangement that sets up compatible vampires as mutual feeding partners... and partners in all other ways as well. But what happens when En panics and declares that he'll be paired with Ichii? And what does brooding, rough-around-the-edges Ichii make of his spunky, outgoing new charge?

"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

Talk about melt in your mouth… wait, he's the one melting?! Young love with a side of mask kink
This one's so good it's being made into an anime!
Sayama is a wallflower who hides his face behind a mask due to something that happened in his past. Then Saikawa, the popular kid and life of the classroom, yanks his mask off and is now, for some reason, touching his mouth. And what's crazier, things keep escalating from there!
This manga perfectly illustrates that hiding something only makes it more tempting to others. Sayama didn't want his face exposed, but now he can't help yearning to be touched more! Sayama's reactions are cute and opposite to how he truly feels, so I can see why Saikawa wants to tease and have Sayama to himself. And the scene where Saikawa skillfully uses his fingers inside Sayama's mouth was a masterpiece! This one will definitely have you going feral, 100%! Check out Sayama and Saikawa's awkward, sweet-and-sour relationship as they grow closer, and get sucked into the world of cute guys in masks!
Top vs top! Behold the top who gets a taste of his own medicine!
"The relationship will strictly remain casual."
"Neither parties will get emotionally attached to the other."
These are two of the six rules of the sex contract that our sadistic top, Tachibana, is known for. Kuzumi, a man with great taste (hardcore BL fangirl approved) who loves to turn sadists into masochists, takes notice of Tachibana. Kuzumi tells Tachibana he's a bottom, but once they get to the hotel, Kuzumi flips the script and tops Tachibana. That's when we learn that Kuzumi is known for only sleeping with someone once...
Kuzumi may be a one-night stand kind of guy, but now he's attached to Tachibana and will do whatever it takes to be with him! Of course, now Kuzumi has Tachibana feeling so good, he doesn't want to be left alone! And as for the final scene... my lips are sealed! I'll let you read it and see for yourself 😉
Tachibana keeps falling into Kuzumi's traps over and over, but the way he acts has me questioning if he was even a top in the first place... no wonder Kuzumi is so obsessed lol.
This BL is a folk fantasy about Prince Louie, married off as a "princess" to the wolf prince, Zeth. The world-building is amazing: the setting feels somehow familiar, but still has a touch of fantasy and otherworldliness to it, and the exotic cityscape and clothing are so fun! The beautifully detailed art sucked me into this world from the first page. As for the story... Louie was born intersex; because of this, he was shunned by his family. Between Louie's trauma from how he was treated for having a different body, and Zeth being a man of few words, the two are at odds... This delightfully vexing love story will have you on the edge of your seat! I also recommend the other titles in this series, The Wolf's Fragrant Beauty and The Wolf Howls for Love!

Even my heart couldn't help but skip a beat after seeing this guy pull the "notice me senpai" card with such sweet puppy dog eyes♪
Yoichi constantly tells Toraji that he loves him, talks about how adorable he is, and sneaks kisses while he's sleeping… It makes me wanna cheer him on for his positive outlook as he expresses his feelings. Seeing Toraji, who wonders why Yoichi thinks he's cute, blush and succumb to Yoichi's advances is on another level of precious♪
This one will make you squee like you did back in high school, so happy reading!
