Anyone got any recs for a story that is primarily set to start, develope or completely take place in a gay bar setting? Kinda like someone going there for the first time and meeting someone.

Not quite interested in absolute smut comics, I'd prefer there to be a story and romance the comic focuses on rather than just bonking.

Thanks in advance for any recs! Any age is welcome btw, I like some old school japanese manga just as much as modern webtoons. Anything goes. :)

I lost the bookmark/name of the webtoon someone posted pics of in a Question the other day.
I remember the poster saying it was a korean webtoon about an alpha (dark short hair) who got bullied by his classmates. They made him undress and insulted him because of his dick. XD

I wanted to read it because the situation and dialogue in the posted panels were so weird out of context.

Does anyone know which webtoon this is?

    Replying for now so I can come back once I found it. Was it colored or b/w ?

    Coloured I believe.
    The panels were cropped to only show him, so my mind could be playing tricks on me.

    He looked like a typical beefcake-type bottom tho, kinda like these types of stories have: https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/absolutely_ruined_love/
    The hair short but not slicked back or anything. But not curly.
    Adding this in case this helps somehow.

    "He looked like a typical beefcake-type bottom tho", forgot to add that that was the sort of facial features he has. Making him look soft and friendly rather than fierce and such.

I know full well we have romances (hetero and BL alike) with a literally crazy or borderline crazy obsessive love interest (emperor, king, northern duke, etc.) and an oblivious, kind gentle, ditzy and so on MC he's persuing and said MC happily accepts or at leats isn't opposed to it.

Anyone remember any titles?

I know we have comics out there with this dynamic and someone is looking for an example of the crazy obsessed ML actually being appealing, not off putting.
So I'm hoping anyone can help, because I can't remember any titles (and I didn't tag them in my bookmarks to find them T~T).

Thanks in advance!

    XD Thank you anyway tho!
    It's so hard remembering titles, so I get what you mean.
    I know I've read a story nearly exactly like Scandalous Wedding but names are just not sticking in my memory. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

    i'm not sure about the specific title you're looking for but i do have a list of stories that are in set in monarchy: https://www.mangago.zone/home/mangalist/2702007
    maybe you'll find the title there.

    I'm not looking for a specific title, just the general plot being like that. :)
    I know I've read multiple stories that managed to make a crazy king, duke, emperor or such likable, so I'm asking around since another user was curious to read a story that makes the crazy ML actually likable instead of just pretending his mental nutjob-type behavior is adorable love. XD

    Thank you for the list tho, I'll check later if there's anything similar in there. <3

    I was following this question for recs but I’ll recommend something too https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/murderer_llewellyn_s_enchanting_dinner_invitation/ the only downside is that the golden retriever mc changes… (it’ll all make sense the more you read)

Anyone know if there is a BL that revolves around the korean military or similar settings?
Not looking for war or action (or something like a Zombie apocalypse), I'm just wondering if there even IS a comic that has the protagonists meet during military service.
We always see them meet in college and then someone goes to military service for 2 years, but I have not yet seen a story that actually utilizes that as the 'meeting him' part of the story.
Missed opportunity, as I had just realized, hence my question.

I need a historical-type shoujo romance WITHOUT a cliche young dude that looks like he came out of a korean idol clone factory.
Any recs?
Gimme some actual interesting artstyles that differentiate and nuance things. Actual adult men looking type love interests! I beg you! ╥﹏╥

I am really REALLY tired of the young guy/older teenager look for all these historical-type shoujo comic MLs.
It feels like copy-pasta or the comic creators using a damn template and often doesn't match their social rank or even age. And most of all; it makes them SOOO utterly boring.
At least give them SOME male facial features. Some type of 'weathering' to show their actual age instead of making a 21 year old korean boyband idol.

I just read the first chapter of this: https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_counterfeit_s_fateful_encounter/
And now I am thoroughly upset with myself for making the mistake of reading a new upload. ovo

Can anyone recommend me something equally as pleasant?
As in; a NOT over the top shoujo-fied story (ditzy, clumsy & Mary Sue-ish), but rather something more sense-making and logical in terms of storytelling and character behavior, something more calm and not over the top comedy-fied right off the bat. Kinda with a calm feeling to it and some emotions rather than hitting you in the face with a bag full of 'you must feel miserable for her NOW'.

Naturally, I'd prefer it having more than just a few chapters but I'll take anything. I just want something similar to read. :')

Just finished reading Groan and it made me want to read a story or two about characters that ran away from home and live on the streets or homeless for years that meet a person that takes them in. Be it in a transactional-fucking type of way or simply because they want to help the person.
Also doesn't matter if the story is about a homeless MC or love interest.

Would very much love something similar to Groan with a Mafia member as the one who takes them in, but it can be literally anyone: A shop owner or someone that was tasked with taking them in by their boss or friend.
I'm not too fond of the people having known each other before, but I'll take a look if they were just acquaintances instead of having a close relationship ( I simply prefer relationships starting when I read them, not it having happened already).

Any recommendets are greatly appreciated! <3

I'm looking for recommendations of the make-over kind. As in; someone gets their hair cut or changes appearance over quite some years and interacts with someone they'll then get into a relationship with.

I know I have seen a few around, and I read one earlier that somewhat applied to the make-over aspect but I'm interested in reading other stories.

Pretty sure there are plenty but I can only remember one story about a hairdresser who took over his father's shop and a student who's hair he cuts who then becomes a model.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations, new and old alike! <3

I am wondering if people know any stories that fit the mold of: Heroine slowly liberating herself and such. Growing stronger and more confident over time instead of IMMEDIATELY after regression, adulthood, isekai'ing, etc..

I asume the historical, lady meets prince, duke or such story would be the wanted genre.
I'm asking for a friend, because i am literally useless for shoujo recs. XD

Morohtar April 1, 2024 2:41 pm

Hetero or BL alike.
I'd be interested in more stories like "The maid and her favourite King of darkness". A story about MC being a huge and loving fan of a novel char and getting isekai'd into his maid's body to then find out she can ease his curse and he's being playful and interested in her in return. (To simplify it.)

It's really nice to see an isekai'd person be lovingly interested in the ML as well as needed by the big impressive ML instead of them just getting a contract marriage, forced marriage or possessive love, yada yada, etc. and only slowly falling in love in the second half of the story usually.
Tho them falling in love IS a must, else I'll find it boring too quick. XD

Does anyone have any recommendations? Hetero or BL alike, I'm interested in both.
