childhood friends
breakup, reencounter after 1 1/2 yr
They are what you call childhood sweethearts and it's all so nice and cute but if the band disbandment is not bad enough, things started going downhill that led to breakup. Seme now is famous yet on paths to self-destruction but now, at least they got back together and together will fight back against this shitty world to survive.

friends since 5 yo, unrequited love for 6 yrs.
Yubin (uke) is childhood friends w/ the ever popular Ginu and is a bit proud but frustrated at the same time bec. he's been secrety love w/ the guy. Not until Ginu caught him masturbating from the window. Now, the line bet lovers & friends started blurring as both started to skirt the real issue and dove straight to physical relationship. Ended cute w/o unnecessary drama.
#VERY smutty, some decensored chaps.

one of the best friends-to-lovers story. pace is just right with that good feels only a great slice of life manga could give.
friends for 5 years and counting (that span to almost TWO DECAdES at the end of manga)
former classmates, common friend
i think their attraction is so low and subtle... it's sweet. and since they're both guys, they never noticed the development until it became too obvious.
again, i just really love their friends to lovers transition! it's he

best friend, neighbors and childhood friend has been crushing on his straight bff for years now but his low confidence and general negative way of thinking kept him from it. nice words of the author about love and moving forward through this story. somewhat inspirational too bec of that.

Best friends to lovers.
Yes it is smutty and is about fetish but the struggles of being best friends and suddenly thrown into this weird, awkward state of less-than-lovers the next day is being handled beautifully and has some depth on them, for a non-serious high school life story type this is good.
ps. i like how casual they still are till the end

childhood friends
seme suddenly started "acting weird" when they get to high school
actually, both are quite tall but uke just suddenly shoot to the roof and seme had this childish idea of not confessing till he got taller and a lot of misunderstanding ensued. well, before reaching half of the story they got together anyway. it's nice that the mangaka also featured the boy's uni life after graduating.
