Hira has always dreaded the first day of new classes. Ever since he was little, he's had a stutter that only worsens when he's anxious, causing Hira to always sink to the bottom of the social pyramid. This year of his high school career might not have been any different if it weren't for him: Kiyoi, the most beautiful and kingly man Hira has ever seen. Normally, their lives would never intersect, but Hira suddenly gets a chance to grow closer with Kiyoi when he's made the popular group's gofer and gets Kiyoi's phone number! Hira treasures every order Kiyoi gives him and every bit of change he's handed to run errands... Is this what they call love?

"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

This enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance follows a strong-willed, sword-wielding heroine who takes control of her own destiny. 

Anna, daughter of the Margrave of Halmich, is tired of the expectations placed on women in court. She has no interest in marrying a nobleman because society expects it of her. Instead, she works hard on her swordsmanship and dreams of joining her father on the battlefield someday. Unfortunately, fate deals her a heavy blow: when the hostile forces of the Kingdom of Albion invade and take the Halmich heir prisoner, she is given to the enemy prince in exchange for her brother's life. 

But even in the face of these tragic circumstances, Anna still has plans of her own: 

"I'll infiltrate their ranks as a tribute, and then... I'll defeat the man who killed my father."

“This volume was impossibly adorable. There was no way, honestly, to dislike his story about a “monster” with a heart of gold and the ghost who pushes him to interact more with the people around him, who gets a little jealous of him when he does. […] Super cute, go ahead and read it.” — Erica Friedman, Anime News Network

Even though he tells himself he shouldn't get involved, Yuiji finds he just can't help it; watching Yamato's one-sided love draws him in a way he never expected.

He only wants Yamato to be happy, and to be able to express his true self.  manga;comic;graphic novel;yaoi;boys love;bl;japanese;gay;lgbt;yaoi manga english;yaoi bl manga;yaoi manga;yoai;yoai manga;yaoi anime manga;anime;boy love;boy love manga;boys love manga;japanese bl;bl japanese;manga books;manga anime;manga bl;manga yaoi;bl manga;manga boys love;manga ebook;manga english;manga kindle;manga lgbt;manga lgbtq;lgbtq;manga love;manga paperback;manga romance;love x love;love love;tokyopop;koimonogatari love stories;koimonogatari;love stories;tohru tagura;tagura tohru
