I loved this!! It was sweet, romantic and heart warming. The seme was amazing, patient and endearing, he listens and is honest. The CONSENT in this from both parties is astounding and absolutely needed more in manga. No rape, no lies, no manipulative bullshit. I would recommend this to anyone as it's romance at it's finest.
Also I did like the prequel as well but I have to say my heart is set on this being better.
Hi there,
I've been craving some BL with great story writing or pull-me-in plots type Manga/Manhwa/Manhua. Something more than just breaching the surface plots of meeting, falling in love (sometimes sex), and then the end with little development. I enjoy those as well but at the moment I want more in the story. I also do not mind whether it's Yoai or Shounen Ai, or how long the story is, it could be 5 chapters or over 100 chapters. I love all genres from fantasy, action, adventure, historical, comedy, mystery, crime, etc
I'll list some examples of stories I have read with something more in-depth to the story.
- Hidamari ga Kikoeru (Absolute favourite!! 10/10 the perfect romance, reading for the 100th time)
- Lonely To Organdy (Sad but beautiful story, also lovely character growth)
- Ame to Kiss (Adorable story and the relationship here was so healthy)
- Blood Bank (A lot more sex lol. But the world-building was great and the plot as it developed had me hooked)
- Not for the Faint of Heart (It had something I liked, fun to read)
- CASTLE MANGO (A personal favourite)
- Renchin! (Loved this romance, it was divine)
- The Priest's Chart (I love a historical fantasy)
- Hanakoi Tsurane (A plot that was more in-depth than I thought and I love it)
- Jackass! - Sawatte Ii tte Dare ga Itta yo? (It was funny and also very sexy! But also good character growth)
-When it comes to character development, the first work that comes to mind is Hidoku Shinaide. If you haven't read itm give it a try, the beginning is cliché but the development is exceptional.
- Hate Mate (unforgettable plot and vibe)
- Hatsukoi Wa Gunjou Ni Tokeru (It's lovely and it's by the same mangaka that made "Tamayura" and "goodbye lilac", I love this mangaka's work.
- Stigmata - Seikon Sousa and its sequel Stigmata-Aikon (Incredibly creative and unique, these two masterpieces need more love!)
- Kimi ni Ienai Koto ga Aru (this is a very sincere work, the feelings are handled delicately, I love this particular manga)
- Usagi no Mori (it's so good! But the updates are slooow so be warned)
- The beast must die (pretty unique plot. Totally bittersweet too)
- Shutline (I usually avoid mainstream or trendy stuff cuz most of the time, it's just smut, but this one has a pretty distinctive vibe. I like the mood at the mechanics garage and the way they talk about cars...I don't know, but I actually like this one)
There are many others too.
I can't recommend Bright Blue ni Shizumu enough https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/bright_blue_ni_shizumu/
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/our_not_so_lonely_planet_travel_guide/ - seems like just a wholesome story of travelling but touches on a lot of themes
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/escape_journey/ and https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/daisy_jealousy/- u might've read these coz it's from the same author as Lonely to Organdy, but if not DEF READ for char development :)
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/kanawanu_koi_no_musubikata/ - heartwrenching concept and mentally conflicting in the best way possible
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/coyote_zariya_ranmaru/ - gripping story with action

So I'm only on chapter 11. And I just can't with them!! Like why do 7yr olds care about romance?! Like Leila's first thought of Dane "he looks handsome"... What?! They are children. Young children.
And then the the other girl Silvia pops up and Leila is jealous, she's only known Dane for like a day. I just cannot with writers putting adult thoughts into children. With Dane I can get it, he still retains his memories of his past life.
But the other kids. Just makes me shake my head, I can't help but laugh. Lol
