But that's enough straight romance! There was plenty of fine BL released this year and this series in particular was one of the most handsome examples to hit the shelves.
HABERDASHERY GINMOKUSEI (Ginmokusei no Shitateya), by Mamita. First published in 2020 and first published in North America in 2025.
PLOT:
Ubuki chose to leave his job and take over his grandfather's tailor shop because he wanted to honor him, but he barely had a chance to learn the ropes before his grandfather died and now the shop is on the verge of failure. That's when a statuesque blond named Theo walks through the door, insisting that only he can save the shop. Ubuki soon realizes the two of them met before during a drunken hook-up, but he's in no place to refuse help. As the shop transforms under Theo's guidance, Ubuki finds himself questioning just what Theo's true intentions might be.
