Zesty! Volume 1
Meet Zesty Tastee, flamboyant gay playboy and heir to the Tastee Corporation fortune. That's what the world knows of him, but Zesty is also Magpie, the corporate saboteur who fights against his father's corrupt business practices. Zesty's evil tycoon dad is out to destroy an entire rainforest, and he's joined up with a mysterious sect of ninjas to help keep 'Magpie' from interfering. Prince Ander is the sect agent on the case and Zesty has love at first sight for this dreamy ninja master. Zesty can't understand why anyone as noble as Prince would ever work with his father. His mission is to find out the secret of the rain forest, and win Prince's heart in the process!

When yaoi became a hit here in the US, lots of American authors thought they could break into instant fame and tried to launch their own yaoi comics, with limited success. I think this was one of those attempts.

The romance in this book moves very slow. Although Zesty and Prince may become a couple in late volumes. I found a lot of the jokes made me groan. However it is very nice to see how close Zesty is to his family.

Sweet, humorous and witty BL manga!
Zesty Tasteee is young (circa 17 years old) son of cruel billionaire Mr. Tastee whom he hates and against him he secretly formed terrotist groug named Magpie (members are his two younger sisters, too). He appears as flamboyant flunky and he is gay who looks after his lifetime-love. :o) But when finds it (and him - HIM :o)), his beloved one named Prince is not only very handsome young man, but Magpie´s mortal enemy - and Zesty´s future brother in law, because he wants to marry Zesty´s younger sister Mellon. Also Zesty must fight Prince - and must to try steal his heart...
It reminds on shonen manga with gay plot and beautiful art in shojo style by female authors, such as Tactics. Not typical BL manga, much more very good (and gay-friendly) shonen manga with amazing gay hero as main character. Zesty is beautiful and Prince astonishly handsome, possible main couple (if Zesty in future win Prince´s love) is also absolutly gorgeous. And plot is really interesting. What is evil Mr. Tastee plotting? What wants mysterious Prince´s sect? I am really curious!
And, Zesty is for me very interesting type of "uke", he is clever, fearless and strong. And when he was fighting with Prince (and he was below him), he jokingly says: "Oh my dear, wait, in my relationships I like be on the top!" :o) :o) :o) Also, he is "rezu" BL hero, he can be alike seme and uke, which I love very much. I am not interested in weak and timid ukes, they are for me as children and I don´t like shotacon. I like tender and kind boys (i. e. as Mel in New York New York), but they must be strong and interestig, too, no pitiful poor things. And Zesty is absolutely gorgeous. :o) I wish him good luck!
And I am eagerly awaiting continuation of this manga...

This is an enjoyable book. It is about a rich boy who him and his sister secretly have a group that is trying to stop his father's corrupt business.

This is absolutely hilarious. I love how ridiculous everything is, wish I could read the rest.
