About the series
In the early 20th century, the aristocratic Katsuragi family of Japan employs a young servant, Akihito, whose quiet demeanor masks a fierce intelligence and ambition. Published by Viz from 2013 to 2019, this eight-issue series by creator Shoko Hidaka explores a tense, forbidden romance between Akihito and his young master, the heir to the Katsuragi estate. The story is a delicate, period-set drama of class, power, and hidden desire, notable for its mature emotional depth and nuanced character work within the boys' love genre.
