greatest!

overview: yohan, realising his senior has an unrequited crush on a classmate, is determined to help after he saw the heartache it caused his brother 10 years prior. his straightforward personality however makes it hard to seem sincere...

review: such a soft and light-hearted manhwa tainted with real life crises, guilt and love. i fell for the way yohan fell for moogyeong; the boys are so pure, as is their relationship. it's so cute with slips of reality.

overview: jaewon, who has always been confused about his sexual orientation, gets nervous of his crush on the class president karam. turning to the internet for help, he finds junseo, a tall and cold student in his year.

overview: seheon is a new transfer student who wants nothing more than to play the piano. however, his classmate taeyi grows agitated at his playing without reason... or so he thinks.

review: the love in this manhwa is so pure. all the characters are addressed adequately with their own love, and all have such beautiful stories. the progression is gradual yet beautiful and it's just such a satisfying read.

overview: heesu's is always with his best friend & unrequited love, chanyoung. however a rumour saying heesu can fix anyone's love problems brings year mate seungwoo to him, and heesu has no choice but to comply.

review: very soft, very iconic! this was the first bl i read when revamping my phase, and it was worth it. chanyoung isn't as central to the plot as we think but the boys are sweet. i desperately need a sequel for sunwoo in class 2!

overview: xiao guang & lin xiang are best friends who attend high school together. when feelings beyond friendship start to develop, the two fight through societal values, family expectations and most of all, each other.

review: the plot is so real - set in a typical conservative society, it's hard for the boys to address their feelings and they often hurt each other because of this. in the end; they're just two boys who fell in love.

overview: eungi is a handsome but reserved senior. one night at a group outing, he overhears his underclassmen jeongwoo talking to his ex - who is a man.

review: this is so beautiful - the story line is so real & pure, encapsulating all that awkwardness with first loves for the straight-turned-gay. it was a bit hard to follow at times, but overall it was cute. i'm excited for the revamp!

review: there may only be 7 chapters translated but this hit someplace good. i read the raws and am kinda happy at the ending but also a tiny bit ehh... either way, they are so cute and i love this a lot.

overview: yeonduk finds himself in the same class as his childhood ex-friend, crush and bully, skyler. when skyler starts being friendly with him, yeonduk can't help but let his feelings resurface.

review: season 2 really hit it for me - i loved skyler's realisation and the beautiful story in reconciling that follows through. it was choppy towards the end but the finale was adorable. very good read!
