Yuki and Matsu 1 by Hidebu Takahashi
Hidebu Takahashi’s beloved Edo Period BL Manga!
On a dark and freezing night, Dr. Sho-an drags home the body of a beautiful man he found buried in the snow. Corpses fetch a high price when turned into medicinal ingredients, and the doctor hopes to rake in a tidy profit to support his practice. Much to his dismay, Dr. Sho-an discovers the man is still alive, and he brings him back from the brink of death. But the doctor’s disappointment melts away when his corpse-cum-patient shows him the many delightful uses of a living body!
Although Dr. Sho-An only knows his patient is ex-yakuza, the doctor gives him the name Yuki and tells him to make more corpses for him. Instead, Yuki moves in with the doctor and defends their home with his body and sword.

Yuki and Matsu 2 by Hidebu Takahashi
“You don’t need to wait…”
As a child, Dr. Sho-an always had to wait for someone. First, his birth father, who abandoned his mother. Then his mother, who left Sho-an, too. When a doctor took Sho-an in and raised him like his own son, he finally felt like he had a father and real family.
Years later, when his birth father ends up at this adoptive father’s clinic, Sho-an struggles to understand his future as he confronts his past. But, with Yuki waiting for him at home, Sho-an doesn’t have to face life’s hardships alone.

Yuki and Matsu 3 by Hidebu Takahashi
“I only want the doctor’s life!”
After Sho-an treats the owner of a brothel, he is forced to spend the night with a woman as “thanks” for his service. While he stays loyal to Yuki, Sho-an fails to fully hide from Yuki that he has slept beside a woman. When Sho-an has seemingly run away from home, Yuki won’t let anyone take his doctor away!
As the seasons pass, Yuki and Sho-an make love, fight, and fall back in each other’s arms. Other men, women, and lovers from the past might try to come between them, but these two share a bond that can last through time.
