The thing I like most about it is the fun art! Very interesting to look at.

A mystery of the week series about a magical hat shop. (not BL)

One shot (I assume). Tennis rivals + mutually unrequited love.

Bit of a messy one shot, but it gets the job done. Since it's a one shot though, the characterization is really fast, but there are enough pages that it doesn't feel like much is missing or skipped over.

A decent old-style BL without most old-style tropes! The main character is an ex-host going to college so he's not as young, making the college student/professor angle less iffy. Also he's not in the same dept as the professor. Reminds me of Gravitation (ironic, given the title) in that the love interest is hung up a former lover that has passed away. This is a sequel following a third-wheel character from a previous story, but I skipped it intentionally. Wasn't interested in the plot.

Very wholesome friends to lovers shounen ai.

Ah, mutual pining. This is wonderful in that both characters are on the same page in terms of disbelief that their feelings could be mutual, and awkwardly happy when they've cleared the air. They're very well-suited as friends that fell in love.

Cute! Almost no actual romance content, mostly focused on becoming friends and then catching feelings. No gay panic! A little lacking in resolution.

A cute little friends to lovers plot, plus mutual pining/unrequited love. Not as peak as my absolute favorite one of these, but in the same vein, and with a similar confession (though less dramatic).

Fluffy and smutty but honestly just kinda boring. Very short.
