Description
A collection of stories:
1-3. Ouji no Hakoniwa (Miniature Garden)
Once a rich young master, Yuzuru hit rock bottom after his family went bankrupt. That was eight years ago. The butler who took care of him, Iwase, has since risen to the top. When Yuzuru learns of this, he returns in an attempt to make some quick cash. But Iwase sees a kid who is still his charge. He captures Yuzuru and locks the young master in what was once his own home. Now, Yuzuru must use every trick in the book to make Iwase realize that things have changed, that he is no longer the innocent child from years ago.

Like many have already said, the first story is about screwed up people being screwed up. These characters should have a way deeper background. Not only the buttler seems to have no reason whatsoever to be the way he is (I can only assume his seriously have some sort of psychological condition), his master had a lot more than Stockholm Syndrome going on. It's well stablished that he had grown up alone and gone throught a lot. He was unstable even before he was kidnapped. I find it really hard to read the ending since the author sets a 'happy ending' tone and at no point indicates that the buttler is taking advantage of his master's situation in so many different ways.
About the second story, it seems no one is saying anything about the rape. Yeah, we come to know that they both loved each other, but that doesn't change the fact that Chitose raped Shuu.

And once again I don't give a lower rating to a manga because of the artwork.. dawn you manga with beatiful artwork and plots I disagree!!!

Eh, the main story was just 'okay' for me. It's messed up in its own little way but didn't really leave too much of an impression on me. I guess I felt the psychology of the characters could have been explored a little more but wasn't. It's not a particularly lovey-dovey story but I'm pretty sure it's not the best kidnap-victim-turned-lover story I've read either. I'm just not inspired at the moment to think too hard on what other stories to recommend. Probably something like Acid Town, though it's not quite the same scenario as here with a butler-type and his previous charge.
The second story on the other hand was a complete surprise to me and I really enjoyed it. I definitely recommend it for some sweet high school roommate/ fear of rejection/ fear of being gay situations. I would love to read more of this story.

To be honest, I expected Iwase to be more insane, and this could've turned to be a psychological smut tragedy (I just like that kind of genre ok?) but this is also good. It has both dark and sweet side in it. A (kinda) twisted but gentle love plus a happy ending that can melt your heart, I think this is a lovely story (at least for someone that enjoy painful love like me Xd).
Oh and I LOOOVE the side story. Yes it's a bit typical, but still adorable~ I like the idea of a crossing line. Loud music and burning gazes. Totally my type.
I'll give the main story 8 and the side story 9.5

surely it's not for you if you're looking for a sweet and light read. It's somewhere in between sweet and crazy, not really sweet but not really crazy. Iwase is not normal, but not to the point that he completely insane. The ending is cute for both stories. I prefer the first story anyway, the second story is typical.
I do not understan why there is so many negative comment about this manga. Ouji no Hakoniwa was truly the best manga I have ever read in my whole life. I am sick about all this gukes nearly in every manga these days yet there still some mangakas like Ogawa who can make the characters interesting, hot and suprisingly inteligent. Story holds great plot, no necessary and annoying blabbering and finally there is some deeper meaning behind the pictures. But of course you have to be looking for something more than sweet porn.
You can nicely see there that the outstanding mangas are not well rates because most of the people want to read and see the same "safe" stories and not deviant from the line.
On the other hand I understand each personality is different together with all likes and dislikes. One person love it and another may not. For me the second story was intriguing and well-made but it was bit unoriginal. Two students falling in love in school dorms. Still, the crossing line, Aki hint, sweaty nightmare is why I have truly fallen for Ogawa Chise,

Before anyone else starts off reading this manga and expect some lovey dovey thing to go on between the butler and young master, then let me get this straight. It's not happening.
What I do see is a sick butler (mentally) taking advantage of his charge. He lusts for the younger boy who seems so vulnerable in front of him to the point of chaining him up for months and that is scary. I'm not going to dwell on it so much because there is no point. Either you like the first story or you don't. And I hate it. I really don't see two people loving each other but instead what I see is a sick obsession over a victim, which the victim had somehow made himself believe that he do love the butler in order to cope living with him, chained up.
The second story meanwhile is good that it'll blow your mind away by the intensity of it in comparison with the first one. Both characters are well drawn and are attracted to each other so much so that they did not know how to channel their feelings. There's a bittersweet feeling to it, where you would just cheer for them, for their happy ending.
1/5 for the first story, 5/5 for the second one

I have to say Ogawa Chise-sensei is starting to set a place in my list of beloved BL mangakas. This is the third work of hers I've read and I'm definitely getting more and more fond of her style, which isn't just about the obvious elegantly beautiful artwork but rather the whole package with her story-telling and panel pacing and just everything visible.
In this particular manga, with the first story sensei had succeeded in creating an appropriately subtle mood for this type of genre which could have easily gone wrong, just like how a lot of mangas of the same genre have often steered into the direction of being almost too creepy to be comprehended and sympathised or otherwise too shallow and dumb to swallow. I've gotta give her credits for that. And the second story, which is of a less psychological nature, managed to capture my heart and take my breath away with the same subtlety and elegance portrayed in the first one, although the two stories might seem totally unrelated on the surface. Thus I can't express enough how I respect the mangaka for being able to create such a distinct style in her works.
I think Ogawa Chise-sensei has a very promising road ahead of her as a BL mangaka. I hope she'll continue to produce more titles that are even more refined and captivating in the future, while still maintaining the distinct essence that has established itself in her mangas.

The main story is just an okay for me. But I find its side story named "Dannetsu Senjou no Ouji" (2 chaps shorta) very interesting. The plor is better than the main story.
I highly recommend the Side Story. =]

The main story is creepy as hell, yet pathetic Iwase's plight drew me in. He was nuts but his disillusionment was portrayed pretty well. As the story progressed, Yuzuru's desperateness became apparent as well (with a bit of Stockholm Syndrome mixed in). Yuzuru's character was so sweetly unwound by Ogawa Chise. Sometimes with just a single simple, wordless panel Ogawa was able to convey what Yuzuru was going through very clearly. A very different feel from the comedic works I've read by the mangaka. I didn't read this as a romance either, though (the mental instability of the characters didn't allow me to).
Con: The biggest downside to this manga was that the anatomy got kinda wonky at times.
This main story left me with a similar feeling as the second half of a Harry/Draco fanfic I read once: "Hearts Open (at the Close)" by literaryspell. I recommend that fanfiction to anyone who was interested in the creepy aspect of this manga. You don't have to be part of the Harry Potter fandom to enjoy that fic either.
