After killing the husband of his lover, Sen is sent to a prison nicknamed the Under Grand Hotel, which houses some of the most violent and corrupt offenders. Good-looking and rather soft for prison, Sen is forced to seek protection from Swordfish, the proclaimed leader of the prison. But when their relationship turns from one of convenience to one that may be more involved, can they protect each other in a place where the law has no bearing? Mika Sadahiros (Pathos) controversial and fan-favorite title is finally available for the first time in print in English!

Ah I wish there were more beautiful yaoi like this. And not only the epic and sexy drawing inside but the fact that it's an interracial couple as well... *sigh*. And the fact she drew African American's so beautifully and portrayed him so well makes this yaoi even sweeter for me. I wish their were more yaoi like this.
