the blueprint. you know it, i know it. the homoerotic tension is between kim dokja (mc) and yoo joonghyuk (secondary mc), who together look like your generic BL manhwa main couple. they are the movement, they are the blueprint.
has some romance bait w/ a female supporting character, but it dies down after the first quarter and never goes anywhere. no “annoying heroine” types, they’re all fleshed out.
blueprint #2, MC is surrounded by protective companions who’re all vying for his attention in their own ways. people jokingly call it a harem, but including male characters (and his brocon brother). really popular ship between MC and a certain blond shameless manipulator
(ptr) MC has a pretty face that even male customers are wowed by.
MC gets called pretty & girlish so often that i sincerely thought it was setting up for a “secretly a girl pretending to be a boy” twist. tons of bromance, it’s basically an all-male cast.
gray’s level of pretty/delicate is EXACTLY what i’m looking for, i’m desperate for more like him
(ptr) there’s a fun rivalry dynamic going on here. looking forward to reading this
(ptr) i’ve seen some fan-made ORV crossovers with this one, and it’s not hard to see why. MC is trying to set up the black-haired man & pink-haired girl since they’re love interests in their source material, but they end up fighting over him instead
(ptr) there’s a duke basically pursuing the MC, or something? regardless, comments make it clear that this one has its place on this list.
(ptr) according to another commenter, this mc is *very* babygirl. i’ve got it tagged with bromance as well, based on my past research, so i’ll trust that judgment
(ptr) looks like MC & the other guy in the cover have some minor fujo-bait content haha
