Douka Kimi ni Abakaretai

Hayama is an artist whose models always run away because of the menacing look in his eyes. Though he wants to draw the ideal bijin-ga, Hayama is a relatively obscure artist who only receives jobs for small illustrations of still lifes. But, one day, the captivating Hanae appears, a crossdressing man unafraid of Hayama's eyes. And, he is the very picture of the "ideal model"...

This is a Taishou Roman tale depicting the days of love and art shared by an artist who can't sell and a bewitching cross-dresser.
