Now it's time to take a look at a brilliant stand-alone work from SuBLime as well as one of my favorite BL mangaka ever.
TABLEAU NUMERO 20 (Sakuhin Number 20), by est em. First published in 2009 and first published in North America in 2013.
PLOT:
An art
conversator finds a lost masterpiece, a work previously only known to exist in
the form of a sketch. For years, the man
obsessed over that sketch and the haunting eyes of the man in it. Imagine his shock, then, when he brings the
painting home to work on it and finds the subject standing naked on his
balcony. The man in question, Yves,
turns out to be the key to the mystery of the artist’s works, and alongside the
conservator Yves learns to let go of his lost love. Alongside them are other stories, ones about
frustrated flamenco dancers, of a couple separated by time and the loss of
memory with age, and a man struggling with his unspoken love for an old friend.
