Synopsis

Sen Owari has just become a convicted killer. An exchange student studying at Columbia University, Sen had entered into an illicit affair with one of his female professors. After murdering his lover's husband, he is sentenced to 80 years for first-degree murder and is locked away in a maximum-security US prison built entirely underground—UGH. It is known to the inmates as the Under Grand Hotel, and the majority of them will spend the rest of their lives here.

Sen's status as the only Japanese person incarcerated in the facility has left him an outcast and target. Attempting to navigate a world he cannot possibly hope to understand, he is determined to win the protection of the prison's "shutcall"—the murderous drug dealer Swordfish. In return for the promise of safety, Sen will hand over his life and body.

I am starting to realize that the good, meaningful yaoi are the incredibly tragic ones. The sex and romance in between is always unrealistically great in these cruel worlds, but hey. Something has to go right.

Mainstream yaoi has many cliche flaws. It's often unrealistic, undeveloped, puts too much into the cardboard cut-out seme/uke relationships, despite often being by-and-for women, can by misogynistic, and maybe most often of all, people's sexuality changes in the stories. That's not how it happens, and most of us know that. That's not how it happens at all. If/when it does, which it again, typically doesn't, it's typically a female anyway.

So ...

I would give this a story a 9.8/10,so basically a 10.

I usually don't read yaoi mangas with so much roughness into them, but UGH's story line is just too awesome to leave!! I read this story straight through, without breaks. Every volume has a new interesting touch to them, and of course, you never know what to expect. It's a very exhilarating story that you just can't pass.

The characters are of course, 10/10, why, you'd have to check it yourself. Art is on the same level and of course, my enjoyment of this whole story is definitely a 10/10. If your are into BL as ...

I have been reading yaoi for around two or three years now . i LOOOVE all kinds of yaoi, hardcore, softcore, anything with BL. I've read so many yaoi titles, I cant even remember them all , but out of ALL of them ?

this has got to be the most satisfying, amazing, flabbergastingly, cute, yet sexy and perfect yaoi ive read . i VERY highly recomend this to ANYONE who loves yaoi.

Although it is quite hardcore , the art is so beautiful, you cant miss it .

And pluss, its multiracial ! woo ! you dont see that often in manga !
