We are rested and ready to return with a month's worth of bad romance manga! Let's begin with...well, "classic" would be too strong for this series so let's say a notable one from BL of the past.
FINDER (Fainda), by Ayano Yamane. First published in 2002 and first published in North America in 2005.
Akihito is a freelance photographer who wants to use his skills to expose the seedy underbelly of the criminal world. Alas, he's quickly capture by the powerful gangster Asami, who proceeds to rape Akihito, ruin his film, and set him free. Akihito hates what Asami did to him, but remains determined to fight crime in his own way. Meanwhile, Asami finds himself increasingly drawn to Akihito, protecting the young man even as he pursues him for the sake of his own pleasure.
