Kimi wa Natsu no Naka

Complete | Nagisa Furuya | 2000 released

tbh wasn't that big a fan of this one but it's still a 7 or 8/10

The Two Lions

Complete | Nagisa Furuya | 2000 released

This is possibly my absolute favorite manga. Very realistic, solid relationship building and character writing. this is almost a 10/10 for me. 9/10

Gunjou no Subete

Complete | FURUYA Nagisa | 2000 released

two friends who've always been in the same class suddenly get split up. Kai and Ren sometimes play act BL scenes but to Kai, it's no longer a joke. Furuya-sensei's works always have this grounded atmosphere to them and this one is no exception. I absolutely love it. has got that "don't wanna confess and ruin what we have" plot :D

Ookami-sama no Koiwazurai

Complete | Tobi washio | 2019 released

Very cute. impressively consensual and the relationship feels mutual, like both the uke and the seme put effort into it. Also bunny friend is hilarious. 8/10

Eigyou Nika!

Complete | kanai kei | 2014 released

"I either pet you or I die! This is the state I am in!!" - seme. Truly peak comfort read material old married couple of the whatever department they're in. it's got the good ol' gay uke in love with his straight senpai with the "Don't wanna confess and ruin what we have" trope AND the "he's straight so he can marry a woman, have kids, and live the mandated nuclear family happy life" trope. There's a misunderstanding as characters jump to understandable conclusions, and there's lots and lots of cheesy, heart-warming fluff 8/10

Sakaki-kun no Flight Plan

Complete | Sagami Shika | 2000 released

this was one kinda really sweet. had a strong atmosphere. 7/10

Nirameba Koi

Complete | yukue moegi | 2013 released

Last read v4 ch 4 Cuuuuuuute! Kinda tsundere delinquent x the cheerful, helpful student council guy who comes to genuinely love and understand the delinquent. We follow their story across 3 volumes which gives us plenty of time to watch their relationship evolve as they run into and work through various problems together. AND we get to know some of the side characters a bit. Ryuu's boss at his job in vol 3 is an absolute goat . Also shima is so incredibly patient. 9/10 this one's a gem.
