Mitsuru-kun no Mitsugenai Haru ga Kuru
Very cute. Not the most dramatic or deep story, but both characters are very likable and there’s no tw. If you’re looking for a sweet and easy read I would recommend
Sugar Dog Life
So goddamn cute. A very sweet and straightforward story about a police officer and a short college student falling in love. Both characters are pretty well rounded, and it’s a very fulfilling story. I really recommend it. There’s no tw or anything violent or aggressive either which is always a plus.
Kimi no Yume o Mite Iru
Uke meets the Seme at his work, the seme then explains that he has psychic dreams, and they’re meant to fall in love. After the uke resists for a bit, they end up falling in love and getting together. Very cute and sweet. Then a very real and depressing tragedy strikes. SPOILERS! The uke dreams of the seme’s death, and low and behold the seme is hit and killed by a car after saving a child. The uke is then presented with the chance to go back in time and remove the seme’s physic dreams to save his life, even though it means they will never meet again. Well to uke’s surprise, they do meet again. Seme is a different person, with a few details that remained the same. They were destined the fall in love, and the seme falls in love with him and they end up together. Definitely feels a little bitter, as the seme really is a completely different person. But it has a happy ending.
Shishunki Cherry Bullet
Very light and cute read. There’s no real drama or any of the regular gross tropes often found in Yaoi. All sex is consensual, and the uke is usually the one that initiates which is a breathe of fresh air. The seme is very good at communicating and is such a sweetheart, and the uke is just adorable. The story picks up after they’ve already been dating for a while, and Azusa wants to see Asahi lose control when they have sex and that’s mostly it. There’s no rival side plot and no sexual assault. It’s very cute and surprisingly wholesome. Not the most deep and developed plot, but it’s still a nice read
Tasogare Outfocus
Probably one of the most visually pleasing romance manga’s I’ve read. It’s stylish and specific but still so pretty to look at. Mao and Hisashi have such an interesting dynamic, and every time they interact it’s always so fun to read. Mao is strangely weird and he is so adorable and likable as a character. Hisashi has a fairly sad backstory, but it doesn’t dip super far into the angst, and it’s very focused on the two of them. It’s a great story, and I really recommend.
Gozou Roppu no Koi
A very good read. For starters, the characters are what stand out to me the most. They both go through arcs and develop throughout the story, and the writing shows that they needed each other for that development, and how much of a positive influence they had on each other. There is some non consensual touching through clothes between one of the characters and his ex’s but it doesn’t go far and the ex is never seen again. Both of them were drawn to each other from the beginning, and they do nothing but help and support each other. A really great read
