Kikoenai Koe
This story. Wow. Where do I even begin? I have a terrible habit of judging manga by their artwork, so I wasn't originally going to read this, but holy fishsticks am I glad that I did. There was something so raw and beautiful about this story and it's sequel (Mienai Hoshi) that really resonated with me - and continued to resonate with me long after I had finished it. Hands-down, one of the most heart-wrenchingly candid depictions of the coming-of-age trope that I've ever seen. SERIES ORDER: 1. Kikoenai Koe 2. Mienai Hoshi
Hatsukoi Wa Gunjou Ni Tokeru
Consent is a common problem that crops up in BL manga (generally its glaring lack thereof >.>), so it was so refreshing to finally read a story where consent was one of the core elements of the relationship. Such a beautiful story.
