Ze (manga)

Plot

Shichikawa Raizô is a student who, after the death of his grandmother, who was his only family, finds himself living in a large house that is as unfamiliar to him as its occupants. He meets the other tenants, each stranger than the last. But there's one boy in particular, whose even stranger to him. His name is Kon, and for the time being, Raizô will have to share a room with him. As an apprentice cook, Raizô will be in charge of preparing meals for the whole house, and he'll be putting all his heart and soul into making sure everyone likes him. But it's going to be a long, hard road, especially in a house where some people appear mysteriously, as if straight out of an old Japanese tale, and others spend their time satisfying each other's carnal desires. But Raizô decides to stay to protect Kon, who, unlike the others, is always alone and seems to be much more fragile and cute than he lets on.

Reception

"The art conveys that ZE is tense and dramatic without being overly melodramatic, and the story emphasizes character over sex as much as any other yaoi I’ve ever read." — Leroy Douresseaux, Comic Book Bin. "While ZE has its flaws, I ultimately found it to be enjoyable and thought it improved in the second volume." — Michelle Smith, Pop Culture Shock. "The art style is engaging, with varied characters, and fun. It’s deliciously risqué but doesn’t sacrifice the tenderness between characters either when the moment turns romantic and not only erotic." — Rachel Bentham, activeAnime.
