"The angles of bullying and loneliness ... give My Beautiful Man an empathetic, reflective feel to it. The artwork matches well with the story; its shading and spacing add to the pensive mood, and the attractiveness of the characters is suitable for, well, a manga titled My Beautiful Man.My Beautiful Man started out as a light novel series, and TOKYOPOP is releasing the light novels as well as this manga adaptation.
