Red Blinds the Foolish (愚か者は赤を嫌う, Oroka-mono wa Aka o Kirau) is a Japanese yaoi manga written and illustrated by est em.

A shoemaker discovers a pair of high heels in his lover's closet, and figures out how to bring back the spice to their relationship.

Debi Aoki from About.com describes Red Blinds the Foolish as "Carefully researched and drawn with the depth of style and content that readers have come to expect from est em.

"[5] Andrew Wheeler says, "I have to admit that yaoi is very far down on the list of things I’d typically read, but Est Em has a scratchy, exceptionally expressive line and a feeling for real characters and settings".

"[7] The Comic Reporter notes est em's "richly drawn characters and angular, unconventionally attractive art.
