Crimson Spell, Vol. 1 by Ayano Yamane
4.0
Its hard to find a yaoi that makes you honestly want to read it for the plot aside from 'when do they do the do again?'. This manages it with a fantasy setting, magic, wonderful supporting characters, mindblowing art, and just generally interesting situations.
The relationship does come across as rather dub-con to be honest, and that is a bit of a concern with the trope floating around of 'straight man blackmailed/seduced/etc by gay man and is conflicted' which can never be a healthy relationship irl. All the same it is handled rather nicely and, again, the art and world is gorgeous.
