I was surprised when I saw this series already completed and don't know which group did this. So I started reading out of curiosity as well driven by the positive reviews. Didn't regret it and I was such in awe of the wonderful story I just read.

Tasuna was sold by his stepfather to a local rich man. The stepfather said that he was to wear the fancy garments and become his hunting guide. However, he soon discovered it was lie when he was sold for the rich man's desire. He ran away and following his father's words that he heard when he was young, he headed toward Naraya mountain in search for Azeri, the master goldsmith who used to practice the craft in the Capital with his late father. When Tasuna collapsed from exhaustion, he was rescued by Azeri who had long time injured his arm. Seeing that Azeri as a craftsman who worked in the same field as his late father, as well as wanting to follow his father's footsteps; Tasuna begged Azeri to become his apprentice. This is the story of his journey to becoming a goldsmith and his love story.

Hope my detail summary makes people want to read this story as well.

This is indeed a plot-driven story and I grantee you will enjoy it. Only 2 volumes yet I felt like it's the greatest 2 volumes I ever read in my life. The art is really beautiful and I love how the hair is drawn.

The H-stuff comes later in the story, but I don't mind since I love how the plot is build up first to develop the foundation of the story. But even if it wasn't a BL manga, the story can hold by itself and even non-yaoi fans can read it for the story.

It is sad that this is the only fully completed translated series from this artist and I wish to read more from Takahisa-sensei. I also do wish this series become license in USA so I can own a hardcopy of this.

I wasn't expecting much when i started reading this story, but it's so good! It seems sensei had actually written the plot before remembering that it was a BL. Which i actually think gave the story more depth than most in the genre. There are not too many sex scenes, just enough to make you get all hot and bothered.
I found the art to be very beautiful, and hope that a group will pick up the rest of sensei's work.

This is one of the best yaoi mangas I've ever read in awhile. It has an amazing storyline, well at least for me and the artwork in this manga was pretty nice to the eyes.

I recommend it to anyone who likes reading yaoi with a nice historical mix with it.
