Portrait of M & N (MとNの肖像, M to N no Shōzō) is a manga by Tachibana Higuchi. It is published in Japan by Hakusensha and is serialized in Hana to Yume. The manga series has 6 volumes and Tokyopop began its English publication on February 9, 2010.
Mitsuru is beautiful, graceful and admired by many people, but she has a weird problem—a single, violent movement against her can get her begging sweetly for more! Her nickname M also stands for masochistic.
Natsuhiko is a guy who found out Mitsuru's secret on their first day of senior high school. Even so, he has an equally bad problem—the mere glimpse of his reflection can send him into a flying fit about how beautiful he is! He is nicknamed N for narcissistic.
They both hope to minimize their chances of being exposed because of their weird behaviours
Written and illustrated by Tachibana Higuchi, the chapters of Portrait of M & N were serialized in the Japanese magazine Hana to Yume and collected into six tankōbon volumes by Hakusensha. The volumes were published from October 19, 2000, to August 19, 2003. [1] [2]
