Clan Of Nakagamis is a yaoi manga by Homerun Ken and published by Digital Manga Publishing.
[edit] Plot
The story is about Haruka Iijima and his teacher, Nakagami Sensei, are in the middle of a bitter-sweet relationship. Being a student and teacher couple isn't easy, but they're about to find out that's the least of their troubles. Nakagami Sensei's family, the gang of impossibly beautiful, age-defying Nakagami Sensei obsessed individuals might just turn out to be the worst nightmare. Will this love be able to survive the perverted mystery that is the Nakagami Clan?!
Tokio Nakagami is 25, but has the body and face of a 14-year-old boy despite being a math teacher. Haruku Iijima, Tokio's secret boyfriend, has the body of a tall, dashing young man though he's only a high school student. The potential creepiness of this teacher-student relationship is mitigated somewhat by the fact that it's the math teacher who acts and looks like a kid, and the mature-looking student who's always trying to cop a feel, but the fetishization of the cute and starry-eyed is on full display in artist Ken's clean-lined drawings of young men in love. Each episode of Clan of the Nakagamis revolves around the frustrated couple's attempts for closeness of a more physical kind. Running interference is Tokio's mysteriously overprotective family, the titular Nakagami clan, which includes a mother who looks like a Japanese doll, a voluptuous hottie who turns out to be Tokio's brother and a hard-drinking grandfather who emerges from his coffin looking like a waifish Little Lord Fauntleroy. The episodes rarely go beyond easy gags, but Ken has a talent for depicting the kind of doe-eyed beauty that's perfect for boy's love (yaoi) manga, managing to keep the characters attractive and sympathetic, even as silliness prevails.
