Maiden Rose, Volume 1 by Fusanosuke Inariya

He wants the blossoms to put on his ceremonial headgear.

The young Taki asks Klaus to help him pick some cherry blossoms. After the ceremony Klaus becomes lost, wandering in the gardens surrounding the area and this is where he accidentally meets Taki Reizen (uke). Klaus von Wolfstadt (seme) and his family (parents and siblings) visit the Far East to attend a coronation ceremony. I don't normally give spoilers, but I will say, not to worry, the brutality does end. So if you can stomach the brutality you may enjoy it. The artistry is well done, the plot interesting and the characters attractive–remember I said those are the three must haves for a decent yaoi. I’ve got to admit when I started to read Maiden Rose, I had to force myself to continue reading–this isn’t to say that the storyline was awful or anything, it was the graphic content.But like a little trooper I persevered and at the end, I found the characters slowly grew on me (plus I kind of like stories with a military theme). more serious arguments on the net with some people hating this manga series and others loving it. Review 2: Hyakujitsu no Bara or in English, Maiden Rose, is an ongoing war/romance yaoi manga series that isn't for the faint of heart and having said that, I wouldn’t recommended it for everyone. Fusanosuke has this thing that makes all drawings seem with so much feeling and meaningful you get enthralled.It's so sad has been on hiatus for 2 years and might be for another. The story might been confusing but I think it's the beauty of it all, once you understand the deeps of it (it's almost an obligation to read it at least 3 times, tbh) you can embrace the manga in another level and never let it go. I think I'll never find such a good yaoi or any manga like this ever.

Review 1: I don't have enough words to describe how beauiful this manga is.
