Convinced that stuffy old Japanese confections could never compete with his modern, Western style creations, he decides the only way forward is to prove to Soujirou that his chocolates are the best.

"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
A one-hit KO of beautiful lashes and sparkling tears! Can this big, strong crybaby melt his guarded heart?
A thicc, hyper, crybaby golden retriever from the States: these are the ingredients chosen to create the perfect top!! This manga is filled to the brim with love and happiness♪
Eric reunites with his childhood friend Nao (who he thought was a girl) after 13 years. Eric is more than shocked to find out that Nao is a guy and is selling his body for money. Eric tells Nao he still loves him even if he's a guy, then starts crying, telling him not to sleep with other men. And the fact he did this while handing him his dad's credit card! Eric is just so goofy and sweet. The talking point of this manga is that Eric lives up to his crybaby name and does not hold back the tears! Eric is really emotional and sheds every tear for Nao.
Nao gets more and more attached as he's showered in Eric's sunny rays of love. Nao isn't a romantic person and has a pretty tragic backstory, but Eric just might have the secret to healing his wounded heart. I think you'll enjoy the mix of angst and fluff, along with the steamy size-difference sex between our interracial couple♥
Sleeping in the same bed unexpectedly becomes a welcome routine
This BL feels like when you're floating in a pool and the temperature is just right; or when you're half-asleep, still snuggled up in your blankets, debating on going back to bed or not.
Nakajo and Kiuchi suddenly end up living together. Nakajo tells Kiuchi he's gay, and Kiuchi could not care less lol. From there, Nakajo gradually starts to find comfort in living with Kiuchi. But Kiuchi has a secret of his own...
They don't ask each other to rush in headlong or to bare their soul completely; they reach out slowly, seeking just a little more connection. This story is a mix of muted sweetness and slight bitterness, with a touch of salt. Lose yourself in the intoxicating, meditative atmosphere this BL brings, as if you were gazing at the drifting smoke from a cigarette as it disappears into the clouds.
The live adaptation has taken to the big stage! It'll sweep you right off your feet!

A mature work of art full of rich and tender moments.

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!
This prickly hairdresser can't escape his eager-to-please assistant's affections!
A manga about a fashionable hairdresser and his assistant?! Get me an appointment for that salon now! This title is filled with scenes of a younger guy who won't give up on winning over his bewildered older colleague.
Toraji works at a hair salon. His most recent worry is that his handsome and dexterous younger colleague, Yoichi, has taken a liking to him. Toraji didn't take him seriously at first, but that didn't stop him! With a dejected look on his face, Yoichi grips Toraji's hand and asks how he can get him to fall in love with him. 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!
