[Read all▲▼] Crimson Snow (manga) [Rating▲▼] Good [Comment▲▼] 
This is a short story collection with three stories. The title story, about an injured yakuza who finds shelter in the home of a young man, is the best. i really like this manga-ka's art style. It's very clean, with distinctive looking characters. She's not afraid to draw very masculine looking characters either. I just wish the young man in the title story didn't look so much like a young woman. In the author's notes in the back, she explains that she was ordered to make the "uke" look more feminine with less muscles, so that explains it, but I wish she had stuck to her guns as the book would have been better for it. As it is, while very entertaining, it's very conventional looking and doesn't push any boundaries at all. As one who is sick of seeing male/female gender portrayals transposed onto two men in BL, this is a point against it.
