tofu's manga / #Fave(123)

TW: onesided teacher x student, CREEPY AS FUCK TEACHER I ACTL HATE HIM Geez, what can i say about this manga? This and the direct sequel (http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/sotsugyousei/) are all i want from a coming of age/romance story. Trust me when i tell you that this is the holy grail of high school BL. So good and memorable. (This has tons of other sequels and spin off, they're good too. Just ignore harasen please).

TW: non consensual groping, sexual favor The quality of writing and research that went into this manga was unreal. It's a rom-com in a university setting but it's also much more than that. It's a Good One, really hard to find this kind of BL mangas nowadays.

TW: age gap, internal homophobia

How do i begin to describe my feelings when i read this manga? There's nothing like it to this day, because it was like seeing myself and it definitely left me feeling weirded out and sad and hopeful at the same time. The inner monologue of the MC is really relatable to the point of scary. His worries and reluctance to both live and die, him blocking all the people from his past because he gets overwhelmed, him hoping and looking for affection even in the most mundane interactions with strangers....... it hurt my heart reading this manga, i guess because i was hurting for myself. And seeing the happy end made me even sadder because well, i see a lot of myself in the MC, and that kind of ending still feels so far away from me in real life.

An introvert guy's struggle to fit in with his new job, neighborhood, and friends. A wholesome story about finding a sense of belonging. It's also about learning to understand and accept others, and eventually yourself. Prequel/spin-off: https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/bitter_cigar/

TW: manipulation, wrongful accusation of sexual assault // the storytelling in this is honestly superb. I really felt like i was in MC's shoes-- i was confused, angry, and felt betrayed by the ML at the start of the manhwa. Then, little by little, like the MC did, I started getting to know the ML, forgiving him, understanding him until finally falling for him. It's truly a journey, one that i'm glad to be part of.

A heartwarming story about an ex-professor who quit his job to become a farmer. The BL is an undertone, this is more about the beauty of the village and the family MC finds among its people. Ngl makes me want to be a farmer too.
