My Beautiful Man

My Beautiful Man is written by Yuu Nagira as her debut work.{{cite web | url=https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2260616/full/ | title=第168回「直木賞」雫井脩介氏&凪良ゆう氏が初ノミネート 「芥川賞」候補に米出身グレゴリー・ケズナジャット氏も | trans-title= | language=ja | work=Oricon | date=2022-12-16 | accessdate=2024-04-02 | archive-date=January 17, 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240117110340/https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2260616/full/ | url-status=live }} It is published by Tokuma Shoten under the Chara Bunko imprint, with Rikako Kasai providing the illustrations. Following the novels' initial releases, Nagira continued the series, which is serialized in the bimonthly magazine Shosetsu Chara beginning with the magazine's vol. 41 released on November 22, 2019.{{cite web | url=https://www.chara-info.net/product/mag-nc/20064/ | title=小説Chara vol.41 | trans-title=Shosetsu Chara vol. 41 | language=ja | work=Tokuma Shoten | accessdate=2024-04-02 | archive-date=September 29, 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230929081430/https://www.chara-info.net/product/mag-nc/20064/ | url-status=live }}

In a 2021 interview with Da Vinci, Nagira stated that she and her editors had expected My Beautiful Man to end in only one volume.{{cite web | first=Monaka | last=Sonoda | url=https://ddnavi.com/interview/884701/a/ | title=「すごく自然に『平良と清居だ』と思った」萩原利久＆八木勇征でドラマ化！ 大人気小説『美しい彼』作者・凪良ゆうインタビュー | trans-title="I could really naturally think, 'They're Hira and Kiyoi!'" she states, about Riku Hagiwara and Yusei Yagi in the drama adaptation!

Nagira also stated that because of how well-received Hira was to her audience, she was able to subvert other boys' love tropes, particularly with how Kiyoi gains 20 kg. for a movie role in the third volume. While Hira was written to be "creepy", Nagira felt that the readers of the BL genre were able to sympathize with him because they understood the feeling of supporting idols.

Tokyopop licensed the novels for English-language distribution in North America as part of their LoveLove imprint.{{cite news | first=Rafael Antonio | last=Pineda | url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2024-05-24/tokyopop-publishes-novels-manga-of-yu-nagira-my-beautiful-man-bl-series/.211125 | title=Tokyopop Publishes Novels, Manga of Yū Nagira's My Beautiful Man BL Series | work=Anime News Network | date=2024-05-24 | accessdate=2024-07-28}}

The adaptation starred {{ill|Riku Hagiwara|ja|萩原利久}} as Kazunari Hira and Fantastics from Exile Tribe member {{ill|Yusei Yagi|ja|八木勇征}} as Sou Kiyoi. Nagira praised the cast in a 2021 interview, stating that she was initially concerned as she felt the success of the drama adaptation depended on the actor cast for Kiyoi. She also speculated that the "deciding factor" for Riku Hagiwara being cast as Hira may have been his eyes. Hagiwara focused on conveying his feelings through his eyes and facial expressions, and Yagi consciously tried to focus on having "beautiful" behavior, finding it difficult to portray the change in Kiyoi after meeting Hira.{{cite web | url=https://thetv.jp/news/detail/1059246/ | title=萩原利久＆八木勇征＆高野洸が初恋エピソードを披露「『あ～好き～！』ってなってました」＜「美しい彼」＞ | trans-title=Riku Hagiwara, Yusei Yagi, and Akira Takano share their first love stories: "Ahhh, I love you!"
