One punch man (the webcomic, not manga) is my fav. I always find myself wanting to re-read it every once in a while.
And when it comes to BL specifically...I'd say An Unsettling Scent has my undivided attention as of now. Oof they are good. It's food for my overanalyzing brain fr. I'm a sucker for character-driven stories tbh.
I happen to have a reading list for this specific itch. Depends on my mood, I just pick what I can find here.

They change a lot, but here are some stand outs.

I created a twitter account just so I could follow the artist and find out when and where physical copies were going to be published. Then I bought the whole series in German even though I can’t read German just so i could own the physical copies.

Scoured the internet to find any place that had translated the novels. Eventually found a group in Facebook that did MTL translations, but I had to join their group, then wait to be accepted and finally i was given access. Then i discovered there are side stories, some of which have never been published online and went on a hunt to find them. I’ve also purchased the novels and comics even though I can’t read Chinese.

I anxiously check for the chapters to drop on the 2nd, 12 and 22nd of each month and hope the comic gets a physical release somewhere.
And my latest obsession:

I’m desperately waiting for the official release of the novels in English so I can finally read a proper (hopefully) translation of part 1. Part 2 dropped this past August and I’ve been obsessively rereading it since I’ve found decent translations for it. Have not read the comic though, but would like for it to be released physically and I would buy it.
What's that manga/manhua etc. you kept coming back to read? Complete/Incomplete, whatever genre. Drop the title bellow. Thanks!
