Left to Right: Misaki Ayuzawa & Takumi Usui ~ Protagonists of Kaichou Wa Maid-Sama Kaichou Wa Maid-sama is basically about a strict, female student council president who ends up in a strange relationship with a slacker boy at school.

Smackjeeves Banner Title: Kaito Shuno Artist: angelperez Genre: Yaoi, Romance, Comedy, Drama, Thriller, Action Chapters (So far): 53 Website:  Begin Reading Here.... YOU BETTER CLICK IT OR I'LL CRY Rating:  Please note: This is a BL (Boy's Love) Manga. I (Sara) do not discriminate against sexuality, love relationships, or nearly everything else you could possibly discriminate against, except for Yuri/Shoujo-Ai because I don't like GirlXGirl. Anyhoo, if you are not comfortable with a BL Manga/comic, please do not disrespect the artist, the manga, or myself by leaving comments on either the artist's website or on BNR. If you are more open-minded and free of different relationships, then please keep reading. :D Summary:  A man named Kaito goes to commit suicide after living a boring, loveless, cubicle job. He meets a strange guy named Shuno...and Shuno  immediately  takes a liking to him...almost too fast to be real XD Kaito quickly makes it clear that he isnt gay....
