I love it when manly men get adored by the top and the bottom is confused as hell because they have a rough appearance etc. but the top thinks they are the most adorable thing ever making the bottom flustered sooo any good completed recs for dynamics like this? Not anything with too much possessiveness or toxicity please (and I would prefer sth with few sex scenes too if possible, shounen ai is fine~) Manga/hwa/hua are all okay too as long as it is completed like I mentioned (:
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/aioi_focus/ i just read this one today and it's exactly like you describe! idk if the length/sex scene ratio is what you prefer since it's short and simple but complete
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/spinach_bouquet/ in the side stories the bottom has a huge growth spurt and is insecure about it during their first time. though the series itself is shounen ai with him still being on the tinier side
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/you_re_my_princess/ also a princely guy treating the tough guy like a princess
Your best buff/bigger bottom recs please? Like the cute and entertaining ones that make you roll on your bed with their blushing and awkward interactions? (I'd prefer ones without too much sex, either shounen ai or yaoi but a few chapters with sex) kinda like https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/there_s_something_wrong_with_my_popularity/ regarding the vibes :))
Here are some of my reco bl's with buff bottoms.
>Full volume [complete] - good flow of story, greenflag top, haz a lot of spicy scenes. [You might find it hard to read given that you asked for one that doesn't have too much sex scene, but it gets better and the mcs have great chem, they're cute and it's not that heavy to read.)
>Our Sunny Days [ongoing] - I think this is the closest (if not the one) to what ur looking for. Buff bottom, cute, not much sex scenes. Not that heavy to read too.
>Define the relationship [completed] - I honestly can't remember much of the story of this manhwa but I do remember liking it a lot.
>Dawn of the dragon [ongoing] - currently loving this one. I think it's almost done. Not that heavy to read.
Special mentions: reads that did not meet your requirements but I think is worth considering/trying to read (all of these still has buff bottom)
>Flashlight [ongoing] - still doesn't have much to say abt this, but so far so good. More on the angst side.
>Afterglow [completed] - also on the angst side. I honestly jist want to recommend it lol. Bottom is not buff but more on the lean side.
>black mirror [completed] - this is horror lmao. I also just want to recommend it. Although it still bl and has buff bottom hehe.
>Love plan [completed] - very short and cute. Light read. Has lot of spice.
You've reached this far! Congrats! I read all of this and liked it all. I hope you enjoy reading these as much as I did hehe. U r welcome!
Okay this will be kind of a weird request but have any of you ever read any historical BL manhwas where the top and bottom positions were unexpected to you? Like the bottom having the bigger built or more top-ish is character is getting more and more common in normal setting manhwas but I have never seen any in historical ones so I was curious if there is any? (The bottom can be the taller/bigger one physically or can have a more stern character like a top's, so physical or mental aspect, both are fine for my question, but I'd prefer if its physical I wanna see a buff manly bottom in historical setting lol)
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/open_board_dreamyzz/ (Both are buff tbh)
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/2ha_dumb_husky_and_his_white_cat_shizun/ (The ml gets bigger but mc remains the same)
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/plaything/ (exactly what you asked for but at what cost)
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/buddhist_priest_a_spider/
It’s just a bit toxic ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ and you’re welcome.
I also realized I linked the wrong BWT story
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/tale_of_the_yellow_dragon/
I don't think I've ever read anything similar to this idiotic and heartwarming manga https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/sonna_me_de_mite_kure/
So any recs for something similar or like hilarious but sweet bl manga/manhwas you liked? (preferably nothing with too much sex, it contradicts with the mood I am asking for anyways imo)
So I kinda am prejudiced against BL manhwas because they generally seem like little plot-lots of sex toxic ones. (They got really popular in the last years and the quantity increased while the quality decreased a lot...) Or they have unnecessarily long useless drama on and on for around 30 chapters or so because of miscommunication, it gets boring. Of course there are some that I have liked but please drop ones that you think are good BL manhwas. I ofc don't like noncon stuff or red flags who do not know how to communicate. No girly weak bottoms or playboy crude oppressing tops either, that stereotypes are overused as hell in manhwas. I like fluffy sweet relationships and bottoms who can hold their ground mentally but I am open to interesting different plots as well ofc. (Still I'd prefer if the focus is more on the couple instead of the plot itself, there are some webtoons where they feel like action or historical politics more than bl so their love feels like a side plot that was used for the main one, it feels forced)
So I am basically asking for cute shit that makes you roll on your bed or some other interesting stuff you really like :))
icl I totally get where you're coming from, it feels like half the BLs that are currently trending are pretty much just SA, which is rlly sad bc the art is amazing but the stories are so bad . anyway, I have A LOT of recs, but these are a few of my favourites:
- the third ending ( https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_third_ending/)
you'll see this on practically every single BL list and for a reason, it's amazing
- heesu in class 2 ( https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/heesu_in_class_2/)
- someone else's bl manhwa ( https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/someone_else_s_bl_manhwa/)
this is a personal fav of mine but idk if you'll like it hahah
- dream away ( https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/dream_away/)
- bad contact ( https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/bad_contact/)
- our sunny days ( https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/our_sunny_days/)
I'd honestly recommend majority of the author's works, they're so good
- salad days ( https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/salad_days_tang_liuzang/)
this is a manhua but it had both plot and romance!
- when the killer falls in love ( https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/when_the_killer_falls_in_love/)
and here's some that may not be as cute but are def rlly interesting:
- mr. 100% perfect ( https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/mr_100_perfect/)
- checkmate ( https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/checkmate_1/)
- at the end of the road ( https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/geu_kkeute_issneun_geos/)
I recommend the authors other story too!
- private scandal ( https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/private_scandal/)
- monochrome rumour ( https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/monochrome_rumor/)
- the pizza delivery man and the gold palace ( https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_pizza_delivery_man_and_the_gold_palace/)
I see that you're down for cute things. Then i recommend you :
1. Our dating sim
It's very cute for me cause they supposed to be dating in highschool but they got separated and it jumped to office romance... Yk like it's office romance but they act like a highschooler in love very cuteeee
2. Boys be brave
They're just literal cuties, totally stress-free, it's so cute, so light, perfect thing to watch.
3. Love for love's sake (manhwa : love supremacy zone)
The story line is kinda heavy?? It's plot oriented, but yeowoon is so golden retriever coded so it's impossible to not kicking the air, biting my pillow whenever he smiles
4. Kieta hatsukoi/my love mix up (manga : same name)
Watch the japan oneee, so cute:(( it's soooo lighttt, it's just full of aoki overreacting and being extra, he's so cute tho very light story also!
5. Love tractor (manhwa : same name)
The character is so so so so innocently cute, very impossible not to like
7. Love is better the second time around
ADULT ROMANCEEE istg the sensei actt sooo childishly around the boyfriend and it's justtt like argghhhh i was kicking the air and punching the walll so cuuuteee how can a 30++yo guy acting cute like that!!
8. Light on me
A love triangle but no dramaa at all, it's so cute tho cause the mc is so innocent and both the ml and the second lead are great guys very worth to watchhh
9. Sing my crush
It's like a musical-ly drama, dw he's a good singer! The ML is the definition of golden retriever!!! He's just a bit slow but he's cute and a NEON FLAG!!!
10. Love in the big city
This actually a personal recommendation, this one actually the least cute and yet the most realistic one.. it's the best drama you'd ever watch, I'd pay to watch this for the first time again. Actually i take that back, it's cute, there are 4 male leads, and the third oneee the third one is the cutest!
I think that's it sorry i rambling too much i just love watching good shows and have the opportunity to recommend it to other people
Just checked your profile and woah! You’ve read more than me! these are semi well known so you’ve probably already read them:
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/itoshi_no_nekokke/
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/yuki_no_shita_no_qualia/
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/soredemo_kamawanai/
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/mayoke_no_darling/
I love rereading all of these so I’m recommending them anyway.
If you check the “cute” tag on my read manga you might find some you haven’t read—I only tag manga I actually like so if it’s tagged it’s at least pretty good
Please rec me something with a plot you found really different and interesting, maybe like an interesting seinen or mystery? Can be any genre as long as it’s interesting though
This is a flip on the usual trope I think, it's less interesting and more fluff tho

https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/gokurakugai_sanbandori_no_ken/
The last link not working sorry
This is really cute. There’s another of comedy you might like it https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/life_going_wild_with_plug_ins/
So this will be spesific but in a bl manga there was like a little extra scene where the uke’s brother(not sure, maybe he was just his friend?) was showing a picture of uke holding a cat and and showing of the cat in the classroom and one of the classmates(?) was the seme so he asked him to send the picture to him, the brother sent the picture by cropping out the uke (with no ill intentions lol) so it was just the cat and the seme was like: —_— lol
Also another person, a third one knew that seme liked the uke or was dating him and he witnessed that scene, he was laughing his a** off
It’s this chapter if you don’t want to search ^ ^ but fyi you kinda gotta read from the start if you want to understand who that friends is etc~ https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/zettai_bl_ni_naru_sekai_vs_zettai_bl_ni_naritakunai_otoko/uu/d_v-1-chapter-0.5/pg-1/
I really need something cute with literally no drama at all please, can be any genre as long as its wholesome
Maybe like these for example?
