Bara to Yaban

Complete | konjiki runa | 2008 released

Interesting! This is the 2nd manga I've read by this artist. They appear to like actually gay characters over 'just gay for this one guy'. And I can recall the last time a smutty scene was consensually one-sided, and not being used as some kind of power move in the plot. The art is just so so, reminds me of Little Butterfly.

Short and sweet, cute but no actual romance content.

So short and direct, and surprisingly lacking in drama!

Ai Sareta Gari No Tsukushi Kata

Complete | NARASHIMA Sachi | 2017 released

This was cute! Focused on the right things and had some meaningful character development. I always want more story, but this had a satisfying arc.

Asa to Mitya

Complete | Billy Balibally | 2015 released

Well, i read it... Not really what I expected I guess? Lots of emotional angst from both characters, and not really resolved exceot that they're happy together and accepted by everyone.

Dear Green: Hitomi No Ounowa

Complete | Fujiyama Hyouta | 2005 released

*sigh* this is what it's all about. Seeing these two slowly fall in love and try to balance their friendship with their romantic feelings is the best. Another comfort read from Fujiyama (the mangaka of 1k Apartment!)

Good but not as good as the prequel. I'm kinda glad I read that one first because I hate backtracking and then having nothing to read afterwards. 11/20/22

A unique shounen-ai coming of age. Focuses on the friendship developing with hints go feeling more. The relationship isn't resolved until the very last chapter and epilogue.

Sekai de ichiban toui koi

Complete | ASOU Mitsuaki | 2020 released

A lot like A Sign of Affection, but BL. Really pretty art! I hope there's more, because this focuses more on the friendship developing and not the romance (which is fine, it's very good!) There's a sequel!! The chapters are on Renta (JP) and the volume just went on sale July 2024!! I picked the best time to reread this

Meh, I wanted know more about Allain and his ladyfriend. The rest is fine, but pretty hammy and predictable (except for Ishikawa being gay and Hikaru being a crossdreser!)
