Absolute 10/10, everyone should read it ATLEAST once. Basically, this awkward boy is in love w this popular "unreachable" boy, HOWEVER...
Ofc I couldn't make a list of top-tier bl's and NOT include this one. Art is out of this world, full-colored, handsome, with well-written characters, FUNNY and HAS MADE ME CRY. Absolute 10/10 will ALWAYS recommend.
OMG THIS IS SO GOOD. It is a SLOW BURN. Howeverrr super cute. Cute baby, cute couple, AMAZING ART, and an INCREDIBLE PLOT. 9,8/10 bc the couple took some GOOD chapters to stay together, but it was very much worthy it.
ONE OF THE BEST CHILDHOOD FRIENDS TO LOVERS OUT THERE. Yall better hear me out. EXTREME FLUFF, handsome characters, HEALTHY and cute as hell. 9,5/10 bc I feel like it's still a bit cliche, but I love it anyways,
This and all the Etranger series should be in a MUSEUM. Art Is simply IMPECABLE, story makes even a grown ass man cry, characters are simply REMARKABLE, and it has such a great development. Absolute 10/10 (and there's an anime adaptation too!!!)
Dear god I read this more times than I can count and IT ALWAYS makes me cry. The story is adorable, simple and SO SO GOOD. H E A L T H Y ffs. Boy makes food to cute guy and his little brother. So sweet. 10/10
Edit: IT HAS A LIVE-ACTION ADAPTATION!!!!! IT'S A MUST WATCH TOO!!!

THIS is one of THE BL/Yaoi classics for sure. At first, it might seem like your typical comedy-drama story focused mainly on their physical relationship. But OH MY GOD. THE MC IS SO HILARIOUS. He's self-assured, authentic and fights for what he wants. Their love quarrels and misunderstandings don't last too long, and when they do, it's always to develop both of the characters. It's surprisingly healthy and they are ADORABLE!!!! A must read, 9,8/10
Bawled my eyes off with this one ngl. One of the best queer family representations out there. It talks about the daily life of a 6-year old in a gay household, however one of his dad's always wears a chicken costume in order to not reveal to his kid they're a same sex couple. It's bittersweet, gentle and sensitive, carefully threading their relationships and how they became a family. An absolute 10/10
Trigger Warning: unrequired love, homophobia
THIS MADE ME CRY LIKE A LITTLE BABY. Istg I binged this in a day and cried my ass off, but It was 100% worth it. This is a SLOW BURN, that BURNS. Has angsty real-life conflicts, EXTREMELLY well-written plot and characters, and ofc, ART IS OUT OF THIS TIMELINE. Biggest 10/10
Ganbare! Nakamura-kun!!
