Yaoi Manga Review: Blue Morning, Vol. 2 Paperback

I've finished "Blue Morning Vol. 2" by Shoko Hidaka.

“I will serve you my entire life. In exchange, you bring the Kuze family the rank of count or higher.” The young viscount Akihito agrees to this condition laid out by his butler Katsuragi, who is thus forced into his arms. But no matter how deep their affair goes, Katsuragi’s attitude towards him remains cold. Akihito is plunged into a turmoil of fierce emotions, as frustrated by this unyielding distance as he is driven to violent passion by his butler’s cleverness and beauty. The situation reaches a breaking point when master and servant are invited to a party at the Marquise Moriyama’s.

Reads R to L (Japanese Style) for mature audiences.

My Review:

This volume we learn more about Katsuragi the Kuze's butler history and his motivations with some surprises along the way.

Akihito's friend, Ishizaki and Katsuragi's family have a bigger role as they get more involved in the game.  The artwork is gorgeous and fully detailed especially the explicit sex scenes.

4/5
