[PG, coming of age, romance, school life]
TW: child abuse, bullying, suicide attempt, child neglect
A bittersweet coming of age story with well written enemies to friends to lovers trope. Even with all its shortcomings, this manhwa still managed to stab my heart with the longing, sadness, confusion and excitement of being young.
[18+, slice of life, romance, kids]
This manga envokes the same feeling of looking at a bowl of freshly cooked rice.... familiar, warm, and cozy. I love how the relationship progressed pretty quickly yet still naturally.
[18+, rom-com]
CW: homophobia, boss × subordinate
A pretty good laid back romance. The progression of the rs felt very natural, though i wish the MCs had interacted more before they had sex. The author did such a great work on the scenes where they were flirting or just hanging out together, and i want more of them!

I highly recommend Neko x Neko.

It's about an already established couple who have been together for a few years already. One day the uke suddenly gets the desire to push down the seme. It's a good story and it's so rare to found stories about seke/reverse couples.
id also recommend rivalry (sanggeuk) and big&big ! both are consensual, good characters and art... big&big is super funny too and rivalry is very interesting (with clichés but in the entertaining way)
and Love so pure!!! their love really is pure... for both couples in it
midnight men is a also a good story with gorgeous art
If you want a good dom/sub dynamic series set in the real world, i HIGHLY recommend https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/my_partner_s_tastes_and_fetishes/
It's so so good and has really healthy dynamics, includes aftercare, redefining boundaries and discussions after scenes (and the dom sticks to the boundaries until the sub gives permission in the future to push them in their play), and when the sub uses the safety signal/safe word, the dom stops *immediately*. Some of the kink is RACK and CNC but they handle it really well (again, it's negotiated and discussed). They may be idiots who are bad at feelings but their kink dynamic is a really good one.
Ooh, will give it a try, ive seen people complimenting it before but never rly got into it. Thank you so much for the rec!
