I just reread the first set of side stories again. I used to reread it all the time because it was so intriguing. I couldn't wait for them to get a full story. I don't even recognize it now. I think it's improved a bit in more recent chapters, but ultimately it feels like the second couple's story is wasted potential.
It just occurred to me that I've rarely read yaoi manga in which the second ML actually gets the guy (sometime they get a different love interest but not the main one).
I just recently read one called Tie Me, Unravel me and it was so good that now I'm looking for more like this.
I've come across this a few times in shoujo/josei, but I'm specifically looking for BL recommendations if anyone has them.
I am trying to find a manga about a transfer student. He is trying to live a normal high school/college life but he actually was a former delinquent. He is trying to keep people from finding out but he keeps accidentally almost responding like his old self would have. I think he's the main character, but he might be a side character or it could be part of a manga that has multiple stories/couples.
This was too cute! I can't believe how much healthy communication there was in this. Ryuji, I underestimated you. So open about his feelings even outside of the love interest.
