Longshot but I'm hoping for some help in identifying this comic panel/where it's from: https://pic2.mangapicgallery.com/r/essay/5f/md_/70082_44054187.jpeg
All I know is that I saved it while reading a BL webtoon. Legit got no other info on it. Sorry. maybe some of you have a better memory than me? ;v;

Craving some BLs with this setting type:
Stories about characters that encounter a scary, big delinquent or whatever type character and can see the person is actually trying to be friendly or not scare others, hence they befriend them and they fall in love.
Usually these are in highschool settings, but I'll take ANY if you know some other settings too.

I have a headache, so I want some recommendations for short (oneshot to 10 chapters or a bit more) japanese manga from the BL corner that you know are enjoyable.
Shounen-ai or yaoi is fine.
Not interested in pure, dumbass smut tho. Needs some story. XD

Nah, there's plenty! Short stories are either entirely smut driven or entirely story driven. And I have read those mainly back in the day, so I know they exist. XD
The smut-heaviness has become the norm in recent times tho, which is why I need recs instead of just clicking around in the genre tab. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

i have put rattings and described if they are porn without plot, i think you would like the ones i have rated 8 or 9 but i especially recommend this

Anyone got any recommendations for BLs about a character that sees someone they like (school, job, convenience store, etc.), developes feelings but doesn't approach them?
Looking for some lovely stories with either a MC that has to seize the moment, find courage or GETS approached by his crush.
Don't care about it being a short manga or longer webtoon, don't really care if it's highschoolers or adult officer workers or adults from different walks of life. Anything goes as long as it has that setup. :)

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. :)

https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/sonna_ni_iu_nara_daiteyaru/ yeah, I treat Identity Porn as plot, I'm sorry but it's good though

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?

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.

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!

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.

this one ^^
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/overrun/

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.

https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/another_typical_fantasy_romance/
And yeah shoujo is aimed at teenagers so that's the norm lmao. This one is different tho!

https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/another_typical_fantasy_romance/
he basically has a beard and a lot of scars, and doesn't get rid of his beard lol. He's actually a cutie, very respectful too. The art's kinda shiny lol, wouldn't say it is that different but they pau attention to detail
Anyone got some recommendations of regular people meeting an idol, actor, etc. by chance and a romance ensues?
Not talking about a manager or such being asigned to a celebrity, I mean a convenience store worker, an officer businessman, a highschooler, etc..
