Ten count- it’s about a guy with severe germ phobia, and how his therapist helps him work through it, and they fall in love during that processes

Never Understand- well, it DOES start Cus of their looks, but it’s because the mc is so ugly he catches the interest of the romantic interests. So the main reason he falls in love is because of the mc’s personality.

I want to hear your confession- they start off as friends, but the main character finds out his best friend is in love with him. This gets leaked out to the school and they deal with a lot of homophobia, to a point where the main character wishes to turn back time to when this never happened….but he actually turned back time.

I love this comic but it’s been canceled, so…yeah read at your own risk! For it’ll never be completed.
Hope this helped!!
‘Stigma’ is another favourite of mine, I’ve reread it atleast thrice by now. It starts with one of the male leads thinking of the other as a slut he’s not interested in, but he still helps him out.
Tbf it kinda plays into the ‘I can’t get him off my mind after that one meet’ thing, so you might not be into this.
But it’s one of my all time favourites so I hope you like it!

Their relationship is so healthy, none of those shoujo tropes with love rivals and misunderstandings, very organic and pure
Please suggest me a completed romance. But not a romance born from appearance or a romance focused on appearance. I don't want to read something characters getting interested to each other cuz of they are beautiful/handsome. I want to read something they are starting to be attracted to each other because of personalities/opinions/world views etc. Better if it is a slow burn and there is no specific moment when they fall in love. Because they gradually fell in love during the process. BL/GL/SL all ok. Also no smut.
