Yes, My Destiny, Answer by Sachimo

 

The story tells of a stubborn young master and his loyal servant. Because of their statuses, their love story is at the mercy of fate. Aoi is the heir to his family, but due to some discord between him and his stepmother, he is forced to leave the house. And there to support him is his childhood butler, Miyauchi. After living his days being doted on and served, Aoi finds his position reversed, where he has to work all day. And what has supported him throughout this lifestyle is his unrequited love of 5 years for Jirou, the heir to the Saionji family, a leading automobile maker.

My Rate: 8 (myanimelist.net/manga/102504/Kashikomarimashita_Destiny)

Even if the series started about the standard alpha/omega couple, Aoi and Jirou, the couple that stole the scene is that of Miyauchi and Kudou. The character of Miyauchi is the more complex, and the more interesting; I wouldn't have minded to see him regnonized as he deserved, but nontheless he has a very nice happy ending. There is indeed material for more stories, but the author apparently decided to stop with this happy ending, and in a way it's fitting. Very nice graphic, but if I have to find a defect, is that the panel were sort of very small, full of details and difficult to read. If you read it online you can enlarge the panels, but then you loose the whole effect of the page.

Black or White by Sachimo

 

For these two typecast actors, love can’t always be black or white.

Shin is an actor whose awkward personality has gotten him typecast as the villain, whereas his secret lover Shige garners all the prime princely roles. As their careers advance, can these two endure all eyes being on them not just in public but in private too?

Shige’s boss—CEO Asakusa of the Tokyo Sky Star agency—unexpectedly visits the set where Shige, Shin, and Tatara are filming their next movie. And when he approaches Shin, making it clear he’s there just to see him, it sets Shige, Tatara, and the others on edge. Seeing their behavior change, Shin finally figures out that something is up. But when he asks Shige about it, Shige only says “Not now,” leaving Shin with more questions than answers!
