This manga has a gorgeous seme. I cannot say much how much I like or love the story because I have not read the whole volume. I fell in-love with the characters, though. ^_^
I think this is a good recommendation for newbies of yaoi audience. I can't call it a "light manga" because there are sex scenes in 2 chapters, nor it is hardcore either. The story is about an unrequited love that awakens in the next generation, It is also about a complicated relationship: between a normal Japanese student and a feared mafia personality.
Takeru (Uke)
He failed his university exam twice so he decided to visit NYC. On his first day there, his belongings including his wallet were stolen so he run after the thieves and ended up in a dark alley of thugs. While escaping from the bad guys, he run into Ray. He asked to be saved and he was given shelter. With his passport and belongings all gone, Ray helped him re-made his papers so he can go back home. While staying with Ray at the mansion, he was instructed not to go to the main area but did not follow his instruction so he found out that Ray is in the mafia. He also witnessed him killing a man. Ray ended up shooting himself in order to protect him. Ray survived and brought him to a secret hide-out. They made love the second time and the next morning, he told him to go back to Japan and they will never see each other again. But he did not follow his instructions (again?), so he waited for him to come back. In the end he made Ray promise that he will see him no matter how long the waiting takes...
In reality, he is the son of a NYC mafia boss from his Japanese servant. His mother is also the "first love" of Ray. He resembles her so much that's why Ray accepted to take care of him. He did not know about this, so he believes that his parents are both Japanese. He grew up in Canada until he was 5 years old, that's why he can speak a bit of English.
One time, in trying to pay his gratitude to Ray, he rushed to "Razzbell", the stubborn dog of the Mafia boss, and got himself bitten.

Ray (Seme)
He is regarded as the 2nd leader of the NYC Mafia, "Cosa Nostra". His boss is currently in coma and the leadership of the gang is in chaos because the boss has no more offspring to be the next head. But he proposed to Chester (a right hand guy), that they might be able to find the "other" son from the past Japanese servant whom their boss loved so much, whom he also loved. He accidentally found this illegitimate son while he was in a NY alley and was about to go inside the car. He bumped into Takeru while the young man was chased by goons. He wouldn't help him if he did not resemble his first love, which means, Takeru might be the lost son of his boss. He took him in the mansion and was asked by Chester to get a DNA sample to make sure if he is whom they were looking for. Caressing Takeru's face and hair, he managed to take a strand of hair which later Chester teased him about because the latter was expecting him to do something "more". On the night that he told Takeru to transfer to a hotel, he was confessed at and they ended up making love. That same night, Takeru found out, that he is a member of a mafia organization. He shot himself in order to protect Takeru and while everyone thought that the young man was dead, he took him to a secret hide-out. This hide-out is the place where his boss and his lover (Takeru's mother) would meet in the past. There, he revealed to Takeru that he works in a mafia and normally they kill those who gained knowledge of their organization without being a part of it. Takeru swayed by his honesty and love for him, made love to him but only to be told the next day that he needs to forget Ray.
Eventually, the DNA test result revealed that Takeru is the son of their boss. To protect him from the mafia life, Ray lied that he is not that's why he was asked to kill the young man. Due to fear and anxiety, Takeru collapsed and Ray shot himself. Thankfully he wore a bullet-proof chest gear so the wound was not very deep. Chester shielded him while they were running away (and while Takeru was unconscious.)
