OK BUT THE FIRST TWO RECOMS WERE DEFINITELY UNIQUE.. i love how monster and ghost was very shounen-esque from its premise if i squint id definitely think this was on shounen jump.. and eat same author as Totsukuni no Shoujo (havent read it but the high rating tells me its good) i highly enjoyed it a lot and with its very questionable elements the author was able to pull of the story just fine ლ(´ڡ`ლ) i sacrificed my sleep schedule PLS
any bl with a unique art style? smth like it could pass off as a shounen or a josei even without its bl elements?
