Betrayal Knows My Name (Uragiri wa Boku no Namae o Shitteiru)

Betrayal Knows My Name is a current title from the illustrator of boys love fan-fave Only the Ring Finger Knows. Also known as "Uraboku," this series is currently featured in Kadokawa Shoten's shojo magazine Monthly Asuka, and it has already inspired an anime series of the same name.

The story centers around Yuki, a young boy who was left at an orphanage shortly after his birth. Yuki has the ability (or curse) of being able to sense what others are feeling just by touching them. This has lead to many unfortunate incidents when Yuki was a child, so he is skittish about getting close to others. But when a mysterious older man comes to his rescue one day, Yuki begins to realize that his powers will be putting him at the epicenter of a multi-generational war between two supernaturally-powerful clans.

Moreover, ever since he can remember he had a strange ability where when he touches others, he can feel their emotion. Unable to control it, he often made insensitive blunders in the past. He later meets with a mysterious yet beautiful man who saves his life, but somehow he feels so nostalgic, like he's met him before. While death threats and his ability increasing, a man who claimed to be his older brother suddenly appears, so what will Yuki do when he learns the truth?
