The one with the pushy senpai who is actually cute and spoiled.

I definitely read this before, and I enjoyed reading it again! I like the way this mangaka frames the romance in the context of regular life goings on, and (some of) the realities of gay relationships, and without leaning into tired stereotypes. It's very satisfying!

Tonari no Usotsuki (Suzaka Shina)

Complete | Rika anzai,Shina suzaka | 2000 released

Aww, this was really sweet! I really liked the story and the characters, everything felt a little more genuine and real than what I normally see in BL. Maybe it's because it was based on a novel first.

Retsujo Love Cross

Complete | Matsuyoshi Aco | 2000 released

The couple and story are actually quite good, but the stalker conflict isn't fun so I probably would't enjoy rereading as much.

Mujikaku Love Factor

Complete | si mitsuru | 2015 released

This is a funny reversal of oblivious sex friends. Honestly, the best part is the third wheel knowing exactly what's going on and not just making more drama.

Kimiiro Eden

Complete | Aomoto Sari | 2000 released

Hmm... Even though this has some unique aspects (seme has gay parents, uke knew he was gay and tried to ignore it but doesn't deny it to himself) it's largely just *okay*. I could see 3.5 on the basis of the story being sensitive and mature.

Mata Ashita

Complete | machiya hatoko | 2006 released

A sweet collection of one and two chapter stories!
