The President's Time by Tamaki Kirishima

Mutsuki is the young president of a family business; he is a good president, but his late father wanted him to be an evil president, and Mutsuki had sworn on his father death bed to maintain the promise. But now, ten years later, he is still a good boy, and every time he tries to do an evil deed, he chickens out. More, he also suddenly faints. One of this time he is rescued by Torii, a younger man, but with more confidence than Mutsuki. And when Mutsuki tries to seducing Torii to do an evil deed, he ends up seduced himself.

The graphic is interesting, pretty original and different from others I read. The male characters are decipt in good detail, even if Torii is a bit to like Mutsuki's brother, sometime I confuse the two. Actually the graphic is the main interest in this manga, since the story is pretty clear and not very much more than what I wrote.

There is a sub story that is also quite interesting, among Mutsuki's brother and the chauffeur, but I think it would deserve a bit more of space. In the end then, the author lets us see some more details on Mutsuki's lawyer.

All in all I'm happy to read this, the love story is sweet and romantic.

Yup this one is crazily funny but sweet too! And you are right about the distinct artwork.

Thinking of you! I'm at Anime Expo in LA and was visiting the different publishers... Lots of good books but the prices have gone up a lot this year!

I will buy some in SF next September so I will save on the shipping cost :-)

Oh my goodness, I just met Le Perrugine and Yamila Abraham, they won't remember me out of the thousands of autographs they signed but I am thrilled. I picked up Dark Prince, Cain, and the third Winter Demon and just lucked out that they were in the Yaoi Press booth at the time... (Ooh, I'm sure I gave off that eerie fangirl vibe. Scary)

Their artwork is so unique. I find it really charming and lovely and I know you've spoken of them before.
