I would like to begin this dissertation in stating that not ALL manga has female fanservice. From my own experience, there is diversity in the way this is presented or there is NONE shown in the story because there is NO purpose for it. Thank you.

Now, YnM is a mystery and horror type of manga. The main story is about detectives going around solving supernatural cases. Despite the comedic aspects and light hearted moments, the compelling aspects come from the characters even if Matsushita diverts away from her initial story. The underlying gay moments are second to the heart wrenching moments that these characters go through. All these characters have gone through some fucked up shit.

Who is even looking for breasts in a panel where Tsuzuki is trying to gouge out his own eyes because he hates them? Is a bath scene more important than exposing Muraki's mother (granted Muraki's a terror himself) who treated him like a doll? When Hisoka retells when he's isolated in a CONFINEMENT ROOM because of his powers, are people checking for a lone floating tiddy? Is Tatsumi's backstory of his noble mother not knowing how to care for her own family less important than seeing flashing boobs?

There IS fanservice. Just not the kind YOU enjoy. There are pages dedicated to a hot springs scene during their Hokkaido trip where the men are shown half naked and there is an indication of Yuma almost showing her breasts over the barrier between the hot springs. So there is the fanservice that you seem to think is MISSING from this work.

Also, Matsushita has stated that she is a woman in her notes. She is NOT a man. She uses a male pseudonym for her work. This tells me that you haven't read the manga itself to not even know this basic information. Long standing fans of this series, have known this for YEARS It seems you enjoyed HER humor until you realized she might be a woman. Just amazing dude.

Matsushita does NOT need fanservice to project her work to the mainstream. This manga got an ANIME ADAPTATION. Not ALL manga get this honor! This is a long running manga that just came out of hiatus with a large change in art style. This is a unique story where there is true fucked up situations that happen to people and they are trying their hardest to push through. There is new direction in the current arcs exposing a behind the scenes, maybe or maybe not, conspiracy about Enma and the Emperor.

In conclusion, look for manga that has the material that you want. This manga has the label shonen-ai as a precursor for these random as fuck male x male type of moments.

If you want Shinigami and fanservice, go read Bleach.
