Under Grand Hotel


Under Grand Hotel is a yaoi manga series by Mika Sadahiro.  It takes place in an underground prison where love blooms between the Japanese Sen and the black Sword, the prisoner who runs things.

Mika Sadahiro is a fan of the American TV show OZ and it inspired her to create this story.  This manga may be a bit unrealistic but it's fun and pretty to look at.

This title has not yet been licensed for release in the U.S. yet but it has been scanlated in full by Nakama.

  8. It said that they die, but I think that their death was a cover story and that they ended up recovering after they were carried out because of the deal with "Walter." Why would "Walter" let them die after helping him? So then Sword changed his hair style and they began a new life on an island or somewhere tropical. That is what it looked like at least.

    1. i agree.
      because they wouldn't have to change their hairstyles or their names if they really died
