After waking up to find himself in another world, he comes face to face with the prince of the kingdom, Daniel, who looks exactly like him. In return for saving his life, the prince asks him to play his stand-in, basically to become his 'shadow.' He accepts and with a new name and identity, Rael serves the prince by taking on any given tasks. But what will he do when he's asked to spend a night with the emperor of the realm...?

Uhh.. Happy Ending?  
by TheOneWhoGotAway

Rating: 8.0  / 10.0

I feel this had a lot of potential if it was more of a tragedy than a happy ending. Some things cannot be fixed but they fixed it in this story anyway.. and that was disappointing. Overall it's enjoyable, but not memorable.. although few scenes are very well written.. I loved the story line about the Borderlands and Daniel's secret.

Yandere male lead 100%, caution.

Rating: N/A

The male lead is very obsessed and a bit kinky.....it's not hidden, he shows it very blatantly. Warning, he is very overwhelming and oppressive towards the main character, for those who don't like that, avoid, for those who have a kink for that welcome aboard~~

Flawed but hits all my favorite tropes!

Rating: 10.0  / 10.0

While it does have some flaws, this manga is right up my alley! All the stuff I want in a story - powerful ML, spunky MC, an obsessive love happens - ML falls madly in love, MC however has other plans in his life and escapes, ML tries to hunt him down... Sexy uke and seme and good art make this a winner in my book!
There are some minor flaws: not enough world building, ing characters are mostly one dimensional, too short (at least 20 to 30 more chapters, please). But boy did I binge read it and enjoy! I know it's a manga for peculiar tastes, but if you like what I wrote, that read this by all means!
