Aijin wa Korosareru (Manga)

This is one of my favorite yaoi mangas. The characters have a lot of emotional depth to them, and the focus is more on their feelings and the relationships that develop than the physical stuff. In particular, it's one of those wounded/vulnerable-protagonist stories. Hikari is an easy character to sympathize with; he has an unrequited crush on an upperclassman, but has decided that just observing Kizaki gives him enough happiness. You only gradually come to understand him as you find out more about his dysfunctional home-life. The sensei, whose motives are never really clear until the end, provides the story with a lot of conflict without ever quite becoming an outright villain. The art is gorgeous, especially the sensei. Just...wow. read more
