I went thru my read list to find my absolute wholesome faves w no smut and these r what I found:

Between the Stars
- absolute gem of a manga tht is very underrated for the star tht it is - super wholesome main couple and super adorable side couple (has no smut in officials but raws + fan translated may have smut in sides stories so tell ur frnd to read officials)

https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/nagahama_to_be_or_not_to_be/
- Scarlet Beriko and wholesome? Yep u heard it right, genuinely one of the sweetest stories I've read, thought my teeth were rotting rip

https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/bad_contact/
- I go back to read this every couple of months bc of how cute this was, definitely a comfort manhwa

https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/tiger_and_tiger_gourd/
- so, so cute man, they were made for each other, everyone goes crazy for this manhwa bc the couples dynamic is fire and the story remains cute

https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/2gether_the_series/
- very wholesome, the ending is just a bit lag-gy but the plot is better than the drama's acc (I first watched the drama bc of how p the guys were and then I found the manhwa)

https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_art_of_taming_a_tiger
- peak truly but if your frnd only wants romance hyper-focused ones then this isn't for them; it's cute but very much about mystery + supernatural (mainly couple isn't anything to scoff at tho they're super cute)

https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_fairy_bath_thief/
- very very wholesome like acc a super cute story, very underrated but definitely one of my top contenders esp for beginners

https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/i_ship_my_rival_x_me/
- the ultimate Chinese manhua gem; promise they'll love it!!

https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/there_s_something_wrong_with_my_popularity/
- it's so so cute, one of my faves

Seven days. I started from there

Seeing all the recommendation here makes me tear up because everyone is giving a great recommendations unlike before when u ask a recommendation for new reader they'll give u fuck up ones like orc's bride and other more :')

Anyways....

For first time bl reader I recommend to start at shounen ai first it has smut (is it still smut?) though they're censored by flowers or clouds and sometimes skip ..but they have a great story ,..
