for semes like this guy https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/katekyo/
kinda obsessive and desperate, also bit childish when in love. preferably older. and no manhwas please (only mangas/manhuas)

Elektel del/hidoku shinaide, also has the same popularity with katekyo when it was their times
any recs for BLs with minimal smut and more actual story?
gonna separate this into two sections but some are probably debatable tbh lol
stories with a romance that happen to be gay but largely focus on other themes:
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/stigmata_1/
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/boy_meets_maria/ (tw: fairly graphic child sa scene)
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/double_noda_ayako/
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/gin_no_kutsu/
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/kimi_no_yoru_ni_fureru/
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/no_6/
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/happy_birthday_1/ (heavy dissection of grief so just be in the headspace for it)
lgbt romance stories that focus on story and characters with no/implied smut (shounen ai):
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/yoake_ni_furu/
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/kagakubu_no_megane/
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/vanilla_chocolate_cigarette/ (sequel to https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/bitter_cigar/)

enjoy (。•ᴗ-)✧
thank youuu! i usually avoid manhwas bcs they tend to have way too much smut, but i read mad dog and at the end of the road, the latter was amazing shjshsjshs. sorry to bother you again but is there any of these that's too smutty? (=・ω・=)
At the End of the Road is indeed amazing and plot focused, as for too smutty... I'll list the ones that are of your preference, that is more plot focused and less smut :
Dreadful Night - the plot is pretty interesting but there's kinda too much smut, good read nonetheless imo
