Zariya Ranmaru is such an INCREDIBLE storyteller and the artstyle is also so unique, almost kind of reminiscent of 80s/90s manga but super refreshing and modern at the same time.
Birds of Shangri-La is a story of a well-protected and cared for brothel and the prostitutes (birds) working there. The MC, Apollo, is straight and hired to work as a 'stud', who warms up the Birds before they see clients. It goes into the MC's growing relationship with one of the Birds, as well as the traumatic past of one of the Bird and explores a lot of dark themes like PTSD, SA, death, etc, though
...
they're all treated well and not thrown around as unnecessary drama.
So much DEEP story is told within just the 19 chapters so far, and the smut is... so, so good lol. So many genuine feelings are portrayed but also so hot which is a rare combo hahaha.
I never rate this highly, especially for an ongoing series, but I really just can't get over this one. Read it.
