Description
Masahiro is a manager at a modeling agency and himself a former model. His newest charge is 16-year old Yoshimi. Yoshimi has looks and charisma to burn, but he’s also an over-privileged, egoistic, bratty teenager. When Yoshimi finds out that Masahiro is gay, he commands his manager to give him extra-curricular instruction in sex between men. But if Yoshimi wants Masahiro to be exclusively his, then he’ll have to surpass top model Akito, his rival in business and in love.

Loved it a lot...
One of the best by minase masara, and quite good by itself...
Nice art, nice consepts...
I loved the story, and Masahiro was really cute, especially because of his cute long hair.
It was fun while it lasted...
Nice ending. Everything came to its place at the end. The last 2 chapters fealt a bit rushed, but still good.

it really bothered me that they seemed to have no respect for eachother. they become lovers and yes (spoilers) Yoshimi is willing to kiss some guy just to get a modeling job, and Masahiro who got jealous of seeing his lover kiss someone else seemed to think there was nothing wrong with sleeping with his ex lover (they stopped, but only because the ex changed his mind) Masahiro kissed and almost slept with his ex and never even said anything to Yoshimi, whats wrong with these two people? i understand that he would still care about his ex but if he is dating someone now it should be more important to respect his current partner rather than sleep with his ex, just to please his ex (it seems he cares more about his ex feelings than the guy he is currently seeing). i really couldn't stand this manga. the weird thing is that neither of them felt any guilt for the things they did.

I don't think this is really spoiler but...masahiro, don't do that!!!!
akito is kind of selfish sometimes...i know it is hard, but still...
Anyway, great manga, not my favourite by masara minase but still good enough.

If you're a yaoi-fan, this is certainly worth a read. As always, Masara Minase's art is gorgeous and the story is entertaining enough if you're looking for a dynamic BL-romance.
Of course there're faults in this manga, but generally speaking, it's nice, and it delivers what is expected of it; a hot yaoi-story.
As a note; of course Yoshimi acted bratty. It is possibly for young people with terribly good looks to become self-absorbed, and he was actually only 16 years old in the beginning of the story. He did have some character-development through one year, and who knows, maybe

Spoiler (mouse over to view)
Masahiro ends up making Yoshimi into a fine and well-mannered man?

This is my favorite from MINASE Masara! The plot is good, the story's great and the character's are cool. Although I do think Minase's characters in every manga and oneshot look alike lol
superb

why i like this one as much as i do. i hunted like crazy for the missing magazine chapters before this finally came out in tankoubon. yeah, minase masara's bois are beyond pretty, but that's not it. most of her oneshots leave me completely cold; i like the longer ones better. this is her longest work to date; 2 tanks and ongoing. yoshimi is a total brat, and i shouldn't like him, but i do; there is all that hidden vulnerability in those little blushes of his. masahiro rocks, however, and i think it's his character that drives this story and makes it interesting; he's no pushover for a rich, spoiled kid who throws his weight around. i also like how minase-sensei plays with the seme/uke dynamic (if we must have it, by all means, please play with it).

i love this manga! the characters are so much more developed that you see in most yaoi (even comparing to minase's other non-oneshot works).
