Barbarities
My favourite by Suzuki Tsuta!
Okukoi Escape
Story revolving around 4 high-school students: • 1st Couple - Ryousuke x Kaede // Straight Seme // Friends become Lovers // Bullied Uke but he's tough // Homophobia • 2nd Couple - Ryousuke and Kaede's friend Zono x Kaede's childhood friend Fumi // Transfer Student // Rich Uke // Bisexual Seme // Bully Seme // Seme has a sex friend > Btw, I liked the cover with them at the beach, but in the end I don't know why it was put a cover like that, when they never go to the beach or anything like that!
Kimijima Kyoudai no Honkai
The older brother sleeps around with both women and men (as seme), while the younger brother sleeps with the girls who were dumped by the older brother. But, behind that facade, they're actually both in love with each other secretly and they're each other's first love. The older brother's true desire is to be held as uke by his brother, who on the other hand wants to make a mess out of his older brother... > I liked it, but let's say it was average both in art and story.
Stand by Me
Model x Model ➤ Adapted from Ai o Chodai! (Josei) - Story of Mie's childhood friend and ex-housekeeper, Hatta Shuuji, who was scouted on the streets to become a model. Since he's a soothing guy who takes care of people around him, he's now asked by the agency to take care of the problematic but hot model Haru, who has a very bad attitude but actually seems to be dealing with some tragic, past issues... After reading "Give me Love!", I was so excited about this spin-off, which is a BL and I think that's really cool for people who love both genres, but for now only three chapters are available┗( T﹏T )┛ Anyways, I love this story!! 3 Volumes (Complete) - Raw: 77mh.com / colist_207470.html

It's so rare to find a long good series like this nowadays, especially about music / with music band! And with anime (and live-action) adaptation to boot! I think there haven't been any since the "Gravitation" days! Anyway, apart from my weakness for stories with music bands, I really love all the characters / couples! It's actually a sad and dramatic story for some aspects, but it's an interesting and emotional reading! Definitely a BL masterpiece! • 1st couple: Ritsuka and Mafuyu (high-school students, different classes // Mafuyu's lover / childhood friend Yuki, who was in a band with Hiiragi and Shizu, committed suicide and he's left with only his guitar // Now in high school Mafuyu asks Ritsuka to teach him to play the guitar and then he becomes the vocalist of the band "The Seasons", whose name will be changed to "Given", in reference to the guitar that was given to Mafuyu that felt like a curse but became a new beginning) • 2nd couple: Haruki and Akihito (Uni students // Older Uke // Akihito is currently freeloading at the apartment of his ex-lover, violin prodigy, Ugetsu) • 3rd couple: Hiiragi and Shizu (childhood friends of Mafuyu and Yuki // Ex-bandmates of Yuki and now still in a band together) Adapted to Anime, Anime movie, OVA and JDrama.
Silence
7 Chapters (Hiatus) Ahhh why didn't the author continue the story! We know it's "friends become lovers" and they both have feelings for each other, so we know where it was about to go, but I really wanted to see it happen and to see the ending! At least we got at the end of ch. 7 the direct confession of Masato to Kaoru. And they were finally about to clear their mutual misunderstanding and to reveal their unspoken feelings...Btw, I like the title "Silence" alluding to their unexpressed feelings. The manga stopped exactly when they were breaking that silence by revealing their thoughts and emotions! It's really a pity that the story has been on hiatus for many years already and the author herself doesn't even seem to be active anymore...
