Don't Call Me Dirty

Complete | Gorou Kanbe | 2000 released

It was cute, but something was kind of missing? It's a unique plot and don't think I ever read this kind of manga before. I loved that the entire town knew he was gay and that it didn't feel like much of an issue for them (besides that shitty old man & stupid Hiro) and his dad was accepting.

From Green Kitchen

Complete | Aki Ueda | 2000 released

One of my favs, there is just something about someone that loves cooking falling in love with someone that loves eating. And the way this was so fluffy and sweet!! And even the sad part was done so well, and him moving

Far from Romance

Complete | Amamiya | 2000 released

HOW IS THIS COMPLETED?!?!? THEY DIDN'T OFFICIALLY GET TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!! I am gonna cry, it was so good and so lovely and precious and wholesome, AND THEN IT JUST ENDS SO SUDDENLY??? I hope it gets updated because I love this reencounter in a simple countryside, with one being very outspoken and experienced and the other being more relaunched and new to it. Honestly, both Luis and Arata are sweet but daring, just in their own way. GOD IT WAS SO WHOLESOME I NEED MORE.

Blue! Blue! Blue!

Complete | Amamiya | 2000 released

The amount of emotion in every face, damn, there is a lot of angst but it just made me feel good reading this...which is surprising because I usually cannot handle angst lol. The whole story is so bittersweet, starting with Takiya's boyfriend cheating to Honjou's long unrequited love getting married, but them both finding comfort with each other. I love characters like Takiya's that are straightforward and assertive but in a not attacking predatory kind of way lol. I needed more lovey-dovey at the end, and thank god here is an extra.

Kimi wo someru asayake ni

Complete | Umi tomoshibi | 2019 released

Simple, wholesome and emotionally driven. Such a beautiful story of someone that their lover and their happiness in life, meeting a person that feels like the sun and brings light to their life. Ahh…I just love stories like this where the love is so pure and beautiful, and I feel like he really respected his past lover, I’m happy he found another chance in happiness.

Someone in the comments wrote (and I totally agree): "Childhood friends + Unrequited love is an overused theme in BL but this mangaka really took a different path and delivered in a realistic way. Usually when one of them force himself on the other, the later just accept it with confusion or run away because of embarrassment/confusion but still is ok with it. But here the author choose to show this as a traumatic event for both of them. Same for the confession, here Kazu said that he doesn’t think of Moto like that but still want to be friend with Moto. And his feelings didn’t change for 2 years. In other BL, Kazu would have ditched his gf to be with Moto without questioning his feelings and sexual orientation. It was nearly excellent, too bad we didn’t see more of them after Kazu accepted Moto’s feelings and as a couple. A 6th chapter would have been great…"

Aiou Futari

Complete | NISHIMA Nakamichi | 2022 released

I love that both of them are gay (and not bullshit "I am straight but I love you"), one is adopted and loved, the other is searching for love and affection because his family stopped talking to him...such a found family story. It was a lovely read, and honestly, I did not expect the plot, and I just truly loved it. A little sadder, but still very wholesome.

Sonokoi Jihanki de Kaemasuka?

Complete | Yoshii Haruaki | 2000 released

Ahh...so simple. I just love stories when that it's two simple people that are mature and secure in their sexualities, this is a simple story but it exceeds others simply by being genuine. AND BISEXUALITY REPRESENTATION THANK GOD.
