I have almost nothing new to add that hasn't been said before. But, Copernicus no Kokyuu is a manga i believe everyone should read if your looking to get into the erotic side of manga. Dare i say the darker side of it? I do not believe it could fall under yaoi as the only reasoning again, i personally believe, is due to the main character having sexual interactions with men throughout the manga. Most people are likely to fall in love with the main character, he's a character you just wish to root for. I personally find it a bit baffling that this was supposedly the author'sfirst work as not only is the art beautiful but the lore and the layout were done beautifully. I hope to look into this author more, and so should you,.
