Let's get this ranking started with Lost Child, one of the first manga Miyuki Abe created! This is a shounen-ai with a forbidden love between two brothers. We didn't mention it, but Miyuki Abe likes tormented stories about brothers, so here's one of them. Lost Child revolves around two twins, Kazuma and Naoki. Their lives go by peacefully, until Naoki falls it becomes clear how Naoki loves Kazuma more than a mere brother. Kazuma is at a loss; obviously, he loves his brother back, but what with being brothers?

Miyuki Abe tried to put in Lost Child all what she likes, from a tormented love story, to the incest. Of course, only Miyuki Abe could make it so it didn't look disgusting, nor boring, or rotten. It's just a one-volume manga, but it's very interesting if you want to really understand where Miyuki Abe began and how she developed year by year.

Let's go on with Bashing Renai, another manga Miyuki Abe wrote in her first years of her ascent. This story revolves around Keisuke Murakami. With his beautiful features, Keisuke has always been surrounded by many people who like him, or admire him. In spite of being so charming, he couldn't bring himself to accept those people fawning after him. Keisuke's life changes when, due to some circumstances, he becomes close to Masaki, the student council president. Will their friendship lead to something else?

Bashing Renai is a shounen-ai full of teenage angst and important themes. Miyuki Abe describes depression with her touch, which is light and frail like a snowflake. In this manga, she highlights the importance of bonds, and friendship. What's more, she explains how important it is to be surrounded by people who don't judge you, and understand your loneliness. Basically, even Bashing Renai shows the presence of the themes she will develop thoroughly later on. As for the art style, Bashing Renai was updated in 2010 exactly like Lost Child, so a neat style is to be expected.

When it was reprinted in 2010, Sweet vs Home took the name of Hatsukoi. In this manga we find two different stories, both enjoyable, all the more after the artwork's update. Sweet vs Home revolves around Tatsuya, whose whimsical mother has married her teacher and then has suddenly disappeared. Living together with his stepfather, Tatsuya starts to feel something towards him. Hatsukoi, instead, revolves around Koizumi, who had his heart broken on the last day of elementary school, being rejected by his first love. When, years after, they reunite in high school, something may be different...

Sweet vs Home (Hatsukoi) is a manga containing two wonderful shounen-ai one-shots. As you can imagine, it's impossible to fully develop a plot, or a character, with few pages at your disposal, yet Miyuki Abe managed to create two enjoyable stories. In fact, Sweet vs Home has a lighthearted atmosphere and not too many pretensions. Let's not forget it's from Miyuki Abe, though, so in order to balance the comedy, everything is filled with food for thought!

Let's move to our 4th position, and Miyuki Abe's first try with yaoi genre! Our protagonist is Haruka Nakazato, a high school boy who is hot-tempered and bossy. He fell in love with a boy who is his polar opposite: Kaoru Tajima, who is in the basketball club. One day, Haruka confesses to Kaoru fiercely, but seeing how Kaoru remains unfazed, Haruka adds that he will fall for him eventually. Will Haruka manage to make Kaoru fall for him?

Kimi wa Boku wo Suki ni Naru, too, had the art style updated in 2010. So, now, it is totally identical to what you would expect from Miyuki Abe: very neat, precise and full of details. As this was her first approach to yaoi genre, we can say she did her best. We find characters with a difficult family, and unrequited love. Kimi wa Boku wo Suki ni Naru is very tender, and we find a major development of the characters and the plot. It is fully enjoyable, as it mixes comedy and the unique touch of Miyuki Abe!

Our 3rd position had to be Komatta Toki ni wa Hoshi ni Kike! This is Miyuki Abe's first long-term series, and it revolves around dormitories and high school boys! Takara Fujishima has lost his mother, and his father is always away for work. That's why, when he starts high school, he has to live in a dorm. His roommate is the quiet and introverted Kiyomine Hosaka, who is the exact opposite of Takara. Their differences will bring the two of them to bicker and getting on each other's nerves, yet bickering will turn to friendship, and friendship to something else...

Komatta Toki ni wa Hoshi ni Kike is literally one of a kind. It is rare to find a shounen-ai manga with this length, and yet Miyuki Abe managed to develop a story that's impossible to put down, once you start reading. She created a masterpiece and made her characters grow, with a slow pace. Takara and Kiyomine's relationship is deeply analyzed, under a lot of point of view, and we see clearly how and why it shifts from hatred, to friendship and, eventually, to love. With her unique art style, her wonderful way to describe situations, and her light touch at dealing with delicate subjects, Miyuki Abe created a masterpiece of the shounen-ai genre.

Let's head toward the end of this ranking with Super Lovers and its cuteness! Protagonists are four brothers that, due to some circumstances, ended up living together while running a bar. Haru Kaidou grew up in Canada, yet when his parents divorced, he was forced to live in Japan with his father and a new family, made of a new mother and two twins little brothers. Turned 17, Haru is called back in Canada from his mother, who has a surprise for him: another adoptive brother, called Ren. Haru and Ren have a huge age gap, but this won't change the fact that their meeting will change both of their lives for good.

Super Lovers is the super popular and loved yaoi series Miyuki Abe gave us, and it's still ongoing. It is amazing, as we find all the themes Miyuki Abe loves developed in the right way and with an amazingly good art style. A love story which seems impossible, is made possible with the patience and resolution she gave to all the characters. In this manga, Miyuki Abe highlights the importance of a steady family, and bonds. As always, her trade mark is a slow pace which is very important to fully understand each of the characters. Not too many hot scenes are to be expected yet, as you can imagine by the premises of an age gap between the two main characters, but since Super Lovers is still ongoing, we're sure she'll make us all happy later on!

Let's end this chart with Hakkenden: Touhou Hakken Ibun, alias Miyuki Abe's first shoujo manga! It revolves around Shino Inuzuka and Sousuke Inukawa, who died once when their village was turned to ashes. Shino and Sousuke managed to come back to life, because of some circumstances, and grew up in an orphanage together with Hamaji, a girl sharing with them a tragic past. Both Shino and Sousuke have a peony-shaped birthmark and one day, the church shows up in front of them and forces the two to find other six people with the same mark. Those eight people will form the legendary Eight Dogs of the East!

We put Hakkenden in our first position because it really deserves the placing. It's Miyuki Abe's first approach to shoujo manga, and we can confirm she actually created a masterpiece. In this series, she touches a lot of deep themes, like death, loneliness, violence, and so on. Miyuki Abe approaches these themes with the unique way that characterizes her, and so it's frequent that readers may shed some tears. All the characters are deeply analyzed, and there's a lingering feeling of loss that gives this series a nostalgic vibe. On the other side, it wields some comedy parts that balance the sad ones. It's like a perfect mix! If you add an amazing art style to this wonderful story, full of bishounen, you have the answer as to why we put it first.
