My Beautiful Man, Volume 1 (Light Novel)

Kazunari Hira is not what youd call popular. In fact, hes basically on the lowest rung of the social ladder, due largely to his stutter that tends to flare up when hes anxious. And then theres him: Sou Kiyoi, leader of the pack and the most beautiful man Hira has ever seen. When Hira is made the popular groups gofer, he realizes that he doesnt mind his lowly position so much when the orders are coming from Kiyois lips. In fact, Hira treasures every order Kiyoi gives him and every bit of change hes handed to run errands. Could he actually be... in love? 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.
