Central Park Media might have been the first manga publisher to tackle BL, but DMP became famous for publishing nothing but BL, starting with the very book I'll be reviewing today.
ONLY THE RING FINGERS KNOWS (Sono Yubi Dake ga Shitte Iru), based on the light novel series by Satoru Kannagi with art by Hotaru Odagiri. First published in 2002 and first published in North America in 2004.
PLOT:
No one could be more handsome or perfect than Yuichi Kazuki. That's what Wataru presumes, at least until he encounters Yuichi one day in the bathroom. Yuichi is haughty and rude to him, and by accident the two exchange one another's rings. The rings are a school trend that indicate one's relationship status, one where best friends and couples exchange identical pairs of rings, and the coincidence sets the rumor mill churning. The more that the two interact, the more Wataru finds himself fascinated by Yuichi and the possibility that his cold demeanor hides a much stronger emotion.
