An idol-otaku and his underclassman who's secretly crushing on him. This was a really sweet and uplifting read, i hope someone translates the rest of the chapters one day.
4/5
[18+, rom-com]
+ strangers to lovers
+ meet cute ftw
A freeter and the delivery guy he fell in love with. This is a straightforward pick-me-up with zero conflict and 100% good feelings. Wish it was more developed, but it's also good as it is.
4/5
[18+, romance]
+ enemies to friends to lovers
+ co-workers
+ manly couple
Daiki, a ground mechanic at Japan Airways, had always hate-envied Rihito, the capable and handsome star pilot. After years of animosity, the two were forced to get along after Rihito moved in with Daiki, and finally became friends when they realized how much both of them loved their jobs. I liked reading about men who are passionate about their work, and this is just a treat.

I really wish this was longer! I love the ML, he's the sweetest, and i wish the author could explore the relationship more. It feels like the manga ended midway, and it's a shame. Still a decent read tho!

Thanks for making this list (⌒▽⌒)
You're welcome ♡
Could be random, but I like how you written your descriptions its very considerate haha
Hi, to be honest, I didn't flip through all the pages, but have you read The Sacred Serpent's Seduction? I think it will make this list, I really loved it. Have a lovely day
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!
