びょうきデレ bottom, Official on Lezhin, "Heartthrob." Already at the end of season 2 in Korean, so English is far behind currently. Season 1 ends at chapter 22 (when top asks him out). Series info: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/bpfdaex/high-pulse 1st: 6/13/23, 2nd: 7/30/23, 3rd: 12/2/23

Cute, but not romantic at all. They only start dating at the very end, and it's not really dating in reality by the time the story ends (basically just best friends). There is a censored kiss and a kiss on the cheek and that's as far as they get, no real discussion of anything romantic other than the brief confessions. Licensed on Inkr and Renta. These aren't the officials, but they're pretty good translations.

Assertive top, cute dynamic. Licensed on Renta. These aren't the officials, but they're good translations. I've bought it all on Renta. Volume 2 here only shows the parts of the volume with our main couple (they're side stories, no story arch); the full volume is about half the main couple, then has a short bit about 2 unrelated guys in the same office, then the last third is a totally different couple in a totally different unrelated setting.

Young clumsy first love, straight bottom, top pursues Summary: ""Senpai, it seems that you're my fated person." Tanaka Kakeru, a virgin, has just started his second year of high school. This year, now that he has juniors, he is determined to get himself a cute younger girlfriend. That's what he was hoping for but the only junior he's had contact with was a guy, and a shockingly handsome one at that! The junior, Akane, was the one to approach him first and had asked Kakeru to follow him. Unable to say no to Akane's intimidating aura, Kakeru gave in and followed him to a secluded area. There, Akane suddenly started sniffing Kakeru after which he started blushing and blurted out something about "fate". Thus begins a bumpy yet funny love story about the two and their "fate"." Official on Renta, "His Nose Can Tell I'm the One." These are the officials. Series info: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/3v3i4vk/unmei-no-hito-desu 1st: 6/19/23, 2nd: 7/5/23

The title story, "I'm Banging My Rival From A Parallel World!?" is chapters 1-2 and part of 5.5 (wish it was longer, it's a concept I adore); Chapter 3 is about someone who's really into voices and a kid who refuses to speak because he's self conscious (done well as a short story); Chapter 4 is about a guy slowly realizing he's giving love advice to his best friend that he's in love with (done well as a short story, it also has a quick extra in chapter 5.5); And chapter 5 is just some guy with a fetish for fat people who assaults a dude (seriously, this one comes out of left field and I hate it, but the other stories are cute). Officials on Renta, officials are here. 1st: 6/19/23, 2nd: 8/12/23

This story is both interesting and hilarious. Reincarnation where only one has memories of a previous life, but both have strong significant souls that affect the world of the dead. Manta is anglicized(?), name differences: MC: Yan Qinghe/Caylus Yan ML: Bai Fangting/Jothan Bo (emperor name: Xuan Yi/Tobias) Official on Inkr ("Who's Spying"), Manta ("Divine Intervention"), and a few other sites. Manta officials are here. Free on Inkr with membership up to chapter 20. Manta has better translations than Inkr, but not translated as far.

Best friends to lovers, wealth and popularity gap So no one is going to bat an eye at that side couple, huh. That kid is a minor and from the information the story gives, he's 16 or 17 and he's dating a man in his 30s who's skin really didn't age well. Other than that, honestly surprisingly cute with the main couple. Official release by SuBLime, these aren't the officials. These ones made the story really hard to follow honestly, since there's a lot of realistic nuance to the characters' behaviors and things jump around a bit. I bought the officials and it makes MUCH more sense. I have it on the Google Play Book app. The official release says it's volume 1, but considering when it was released the spin-offs might be considered the other volumes.

This is shonen ai, not yaoi (side stories in the novel are mature, 147-167, but probably won't have a manhwa release). Low-born knight X fallen duke, enemies to lovers, time regression. Interesting plot and occasional comedy. Series where misunderstandings are a main plot point normally infuriate me, but here the main longstanding one is done well and typically comedically (it doesn't harm anyone, which is also rare; it's just hilarious the ML basically has wattpad lore he's created in his head about MC). Misunderstandings seem to make sense here, they're not just thrown in for drama. Official on Manta, officials are here. Series info: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/qldh6xr/the-fallen-duke-the-knight-who-hated-him Based on a web novel (complete in Korean at 146 chapters and 21 R19 side story chapters, not fully translated yet). Novel is not really a comedy like the manhwa is, but I love both. Novel chapters don't align for manhwa chapters (season 1 end of manhwa is chapter 29, but it's chapter 56 in the novel). It's not MTL, it's a really solid translation that's enjoyable to read: https://www.foxaholic.com/novel/circumstances-of-a-fallen-lord-1/ https://loomywoods.com/novel/circumstances-of-a-fallen-lord/ (10/23/23 (132), 1/1/24) Chapters of interest: 55, 75, 77-79, 81*, 82, 84, 103*, 105, 120*, 123, 132... Once they get intimate they really just be making out constantly * Exciting chapters unrelated to intimacy The novel was an enjoyable read, well written, and hard to put down once the romance began. The two of them, especially Carlton, were so hopelessly infatuated and showed it continuously. The ending chapter felt like it needed another paragraph or two at the end, but it tied up all loose ends. 1st: 4/26/23, 2nd: 7/3/23, 3rd: 10/24/23 (alongside novel), 4th: 12/24/24

Next release on Renta 9/17/24 Straight top(?) x straight bottom, best friends to lovers, childhood friends, also hetero sex for a solid chunk of time (but it's with the guy who turns into a girl, within the main couple). First arc of becoming a couple is 1-43. Official release on Renta, Coolmic and BookWalker, webtoon scroll version officials are here.
