Ore To Joushi No Kakushikoto

Complete | kashima chiaki | 2016 released

Wow...this was surprisingly thoughtful. I'm reminded of Doushitemo Furitakunai. Even the dubious consent/assault was handled with more care than I typically expect. I really really love how desperately Misaki is to be accepted and loved, while also believing himself incapable and unworthy of receiving it. The dialogue of the last argument was so perfect and gut-wrenching, I could practically hear it. Not to mention the fact that despite having a ONS, Misaki and Junichirou's relationship develops so naturally out of the time they spend just hanging out. Definitely an unexpected new favorite.

Link and Ring

Complete | Tsuyuki yuruco,Home-sha inc. | 2019 released

This had all the important things in a lowkey and realistic scenario, no huge drama or conflict needed! Only complaint is being short.

Mou Ichido, Nando Demo

Complete | Aniya Yuiji | 2000 released

Favorite amnesia story! I was reminded of this one by another BL with a similar story. Definitely like this one better.

Long Vacation

Complete | Hideyoshico | 2013 released

Fantastic art, sexy smut, and a great one shot! If it was longer I'd give it 5. Hideyoshico is also the artist of the good amnesia manga. (and the only artist in the same vein as Asumiko)

Omae ni Dakareru Nante Kittenai!

Ongoing | Natsuhara saike | 2019 released

Only the first few chapters were uploaded with redraws, the rest is lightsabers. That said I like the story so I'm still reading it! (Ch 23 is uncensored) Caught up to 27, really glad I came back and read the chapters I skipped! Basically every chapter is smutty, but the romance in between is really sweet. In the 30s we have a trouble-making (twin?) brother, and miscommunication issues because Seo won't use his words. Pleeease don't let this last too long... It did not, thankfully! Ch 36 - we're kind of in slice of life territory at this point, but I don't mind. 38 - nvm we got a new character tryina start shit 39 - crazy stalker is what. Ugh, at least Seo and Natori are solid, but this is a damper on their life for sure.

Old-fashioned Cupcake

Ongoing | Sagan sagan | 2019 released

I can't tell I'd the sequel is done yet or not Reminds me a bit of Classmates, but if they were adults from the start. Also has a live action version!

Komyushou Riiman wa Koi no Shikata ga Wakarimasen

Complete | torio rise | 2019 released

This was cute! Simple and refreshing romance without checking familiar yaoi boxes.

Hadakeru Kaibutsu

Complete | OGERETSU Tanaka | 2000 released

A rare serious manga that believably redeems the bad ex, but NOT with the same partner. I didn't read much of Yumi's story only because it sort of undercut the impact of his and Kan-chan's (Hayashida's) story, and the abuse didn't need belaboring to get the point across. Hayashida's story is just the more interesting one, with more unexpected twists and turns and general subject matter. Maybe not the most cozy and rereadable favorite, but a favorite nonetheless!

Maou Uke BL

Ongoing | Anthology,HINO Youhe,Honma Pirupa,KAO,KURODA Kuz,OGASAWARA Kuen,SAKAMOTO Akira,SOKA Haruhi,TAKAYOSHI Yuri,YUKIMICHI Ouji | 2016 released

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA Only read ch 2. What a hilarious and wholesome little scenario, I love it. Slimes deserve love too! XD

Koi ga Ochitara

Complete | Ueda Aki | 2000 released

The most wholesome ojisan BL. Also the drama CD is great. I've reread this so many times
