“A gag series that transforms into a slice of life school comedy about junior high school boys & their guardians, mixed with some shady mafia mystery.”
―Comedy and beautiful art blending in one story. Oh and don’t forget the mafia business adding into the mix. The story is a kind of a bit episodic and sometimes it isn’t. Love the art (it improves as chapters go on)

“Taiga’s always worshiped the heroes he’s seen on TV. And now that he’s started high school, his fateful encounter with a certain girl compels him to make her his heroine.”
—Story and art are absolutely beautiful. You can see and feel Arima’s struggles and his trauma was very well-written. A gem, a masterpiece of a story. Sadly the author passed away at a very young age.
Tw: sexual assault, gender dysphoria

“A liquor store owner, with a conservative view of sexuality, falls for a childhood friend who makes no bones about his sexual preferences.”
― BL that was absolutely sweet and wholesome. The art was good, especially how the backgrounds were drawn. Style wasn’t overwhelming, just simply relaxing. Very short too in case you want to binge read :)

“Kento is saved by his neighbor Soushi. Dressed all in black, taciturn and scary-looking, Soushi seems hard to approach.”
―Story is short and sweet. A gloomy shy person x an outgoing person, lovely pair. The art and character designs are just as good. Would recommend if you want fluff and a binge read.

“ Viscount Adam is designated as bodyguard for the country’s Judicial Lord. However, the Viscount is also an incredibly handsome man, able to make both men and women fall for his charm. But now this lady-killer has fallen in love with the straight-laced Judicial Lord’s nephew Joel?”
―The couple’s dynamic is amazing and their character designs are just chef’s kiss. There’s a balance between their romance and the actual plot which is good. Lovely read.

“Shu Yun, shining star that was born in the ballet world and gifted opera Huadan Tong Yang are connected by a twist of fate”
—The art is simply chef’s kiss. ITS SO GOOD. Anyways, if you’re looking for wholesome fluff try this. The leads have opposite personality with each other, and they also have a well-developed character. The plot is interesting and unique in a way compared to other bl’s (u don’t see an opera student x ballet student very often lol)

“A boy met a boy. They were in the flush of youth. They were in love that felt like a dream, like a sparkling soda pop.”
―I absolutely adore the author’s works and especially this story. One of the first mangas I read too. The art is so beautiful and the story is so sweet. It’s like watching first love blooming and it just leaves a smile on your face. It isn’t entirely dramatic, just really simple and lovely. But for me I prefer the movie much more.

“Kusakabe is working to achieve his dream, while Sajo is studying in university. Both live their lives separately.”
―Sequel of Doukyuusei and Sotsugyousei. While its prequels were cute and fluffy, this one is angst. In this, their relationship gets a little bit rocky and complex. I loved it since it really showed how the couple went through their struggles and stayed together till’ the end. Don’t worry it’s a happy ending. It’s like watching your kid grow up

“Asahi tells his boyfriend Mitsuki that he’ll marry him if they go on a trip around the world together first. Asahi’s cautious nature often clashes with Mitsuki’s carefree ways, the two grow steadily closer as they sightsee and eat their way through the first three countries on their first world tour”
—Wholesome and cute. Their interactions are so genuine and chaotic it’s just incredibly refreshing to see. Love the art and author’s other works

“Crown Prince, Xie Lian, was a well-regarded child of heaven. However, who knew that after ascending, achieving immortality and becoming a Martial God that thousands of people worshipped, that his life would only go downhill.”
―The art is so visually stunning. I get so distracted and forget about the plot because of how beautiful the artwork is. Same author of MDZS. If you want god-tier art, read this.
