mlm manga/manhua/manhwa in which can depict healthy/nontoxic and normalized relationships, as well as stories/characters that are able to handle circumstances respectively and safely.
why? bc while we know manga is fiction, it projects a real issue in asia (specifically, in this case, but it's everywhere) wherein homosexual relationships are often presented in harmful and stereotyped behaviors. this is not the norm, nor should it ever be.
Genre(s): Comedy / Drama / Romance / Shounen Ai / Slice of Life / webtoons
Wait did you just flirt with me? Have been for the past year but thanks for noticing.
This webtoon is a pretty short read despite 31 chapters, and there’s not much romantic relationship going on, but let me just say that the normalization of all kinds of romance is a breath of fresh air. You won’t find “but we’re both guys” or “but we’re both girls” here; only lots of pining, lots of sweetness, and a lot more funny.
You may feel your favorite manga should be gathered together into distinct categories for your own reference and, now, you can do this with a LIST. After you've created your list or lists, you can proudly recommend them to other manga fans to showcase and share your taste in manga.
If you haven't read them I'd like to recommend a few titles, I hope they go along with your criteria:
Renai Kidou - Hino Garasu Stand By Me - Ebara Tomoe Aishiteru - Fujitani Youko Yamada to Shounen - Mita Ori Tear Drop - Asou Mitsuaki Kouun No Rihatsushi - Nagato saichi Seinen wa Ai o Kou - Hino Garasu New Beginnings- Yamamato
Also Maybe: Home Sick Baby - Achi Unexpected Love - Yuzuya Chishiyoubun no Ai wa Komete Kimi To Parade Souteigai Love Serendipity Kitto Koi ni Chigainai Sensei! Koi No Shitsumon Desu! Irony Dress ni Sayonara Colorful Line - Ichikawa Negative-kun to Positive-Kun Merry Checker Kimi Ga Kawaii Riyuu
Bonus: I really liked this one, this goes with the body diversity thing, it has a fat character drawn rather well and its the best I've ever seen in terms of body acceptance.
Hoppe Ni Himawari - Mita Ori
Note: While some on the list I haven't read recently, I have read all of these and they are all free of rape, manipulation, abuse, violence, or horrible stereotypes. So I hope you find a few you enjoy!! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
