I heard of this manga because the creator of Golden Kamuy (see my manga collection...), Satoru Noda, endorsed it publicly. I like BL manga but aren't really in the scene, so getting an excellent recommendation like this was a godsend! I really enjoyed this one: I loooove historical dramas and Hidebu Takahashi's artstyle is very beautiful.
I have the series (3 volumes total) in Japanese because there isn't an English physical edition and I think it was a great choice. While it's a very typical Japanese release, the cover paper is this very pleasant textured paper. (¯▿¯) Yeah, I might be easily impressed...
