tofu's manga / #Great(119)

TW: suicide thoughts, homophobia, internal homophobia, transphobia, queerphobia // This is something i wish i read growing up. I would have felt less alone in dealing with my sexuality, and it would have helped me to become less prejudiced against my own community when i was younger. A great manga about acceptance.

TW: (not main story) rape, bullying // The main story has everything i want from a highschool BL. Kaede is one of my favorite characters ever, and i want to keep him safe in my pocket! I don't really like their sexual dynamic, but i guess it's fine as long as it's consensual.

Seeing the rating hurts me man, this manga was so good and it deserves way more. I love the dynamic between the highschool boys couple, that shit is my favorite trope ever. MC is also straightforward and refreshing, and idk, i guess it still feels organic and realistic despite having some "mangaesque" elements

WAAAAY too underrated. I love these two so much. They're cynical towards life in general, like any grown adult worn by life is, yet they still found something worth pursuing in each other. I love their dialogue, their banter, their anxiety and reassurance in becoming lovers, everything!

What I love about this manhwa is that the romance is so intertwined with the friendship and family aspect. While it's certainly a light feel-good story with silly moments, it's also unexpectedly deep and touching. Kinda has the same feeling as Reply drama series.

If you ever feel like you need a good cleanse from all the bullshit that's happening in the BL community, read this. It's so pure, even the conflict is so pure, everything will make you feel like you're tucked inside a warm blanket holding your favorite person and eating your favorite foods. Wholesome and healing.

A story about unrequited love. Very well written and developed. Sequel with a different main couple is ongoing: http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/form_of_sympathy/?P6M8

TW: violence, rape (not between MCs), tragedy, character death About an unlikely pair who wandered around the continent and all the humanity problems they encountered. One is a burly ronin, and another is a delicate looking man who would grant wishes in exchange of souls. This is a beautiful story. Heads up: some of the cases these two encountered was very rough to read.

I first read this manga when i was in highschool. It's extra special to me because i found it in a time where i struggled a lot with my sexuality. It's amazing to think that this manga, with its healthy communication and relationship between two gay men, is the first BL i've ever read. I've had (and even liked) my share of toxic BLs that read like garbage once i grew up, so i'm really glad that this manga is the total opposite. I reread this like a thousand times, and it's still as good as my first time reading it.
