Typical friends become lovers story & yet it didn't fail to amaze me when I was reading it for the...god knows, 1000th time may be?! :P :P
One of those Cutest Bestest Best shounen ai oneshots that I would give a world to be re-written as a smoking hot yaoi with a continuation.
An awfully ADORABLE & Heart Warming Story of the 26 year old Oji-san looking Yamada & a Highschooler Chihiro. After getting his Heart broken & realizing his homosexuality 4 the 1st time Chihiro gets Dead Drunk on a cold X-mas night by the road side 4m where he gets picked up by Yamada,brought 2 home & cared 4,which later leads Chihiro 2 fall 4 the Kind Yamada.
HEALING,Extraordinary Love Story of 2 very Ordinary people,amplified by Genuine,Down 2 Earth,Profound Emotions
1+2:Rivals in love Ichiya & Jirou end up falling 4 each other while fighting over their love interest,Minato
3:Practically strangers,Senpai & Kouhai of the same school hit if off when they coincidentally meet each other in their common secret hide out
4:Events of a pair of Sports Rivals realizing their feelings 4 each other
5(FAV):Story of a Timid Mild mannered Adorably Shy Cafe Owner awaiting the return of his love interest,a kind scruffy Photographer.
Quiet Shy Naive Hirono gets in2 the dormitory life 2 escape 4m the awkward environment with his step sister & step dad after his mother 2nd marriage.But finds himself trapped when he gets paired with the rumored infamous scary Morioka senpai as his "guidence manager".
Despite the Cliche Seme,Uke & story setting this 1 tugged at each & every single of my Heart Strings! It's Kojima Lalako after all! ONLY she can produce such light feathury heart tickling BL.
2 High school boys who ride the same secluded train together evetually get to know each other, become friends & gradually come into terms with their slowly developing feelings.
1 of the 1st BL I ever read by the Master of shounen ai Ichikawa Kei. If you are a sucker of slow paced romance then this 1 is for you!
1 of the Top 10 BL that u'll regret not reading if u hvn't yet. No drama,No over-exaggeration,No "I m not gay but my dick gets hard only 4 u" crap. Just Pure Slow Paced Fleeting Fluff."Boys Love" wud b an understatement here as it's actually an extremely Powerful Love Story in it's essence. Although Flawed,it's the imperfection & short comings of the characters that brings out the true Beauty & Perfection of this Gorgeous lil Masterpiece.
Bathing in the warm toasty sunlight on a cold crisp winter morning ~ That's how exactly this MASTERPIECE made me feel. Gorgeous, Humble, Heart Warming & Touching. A shounen ai can't get any purer than this. Add to that Aoi Aki's Melancholic, Languid yet Mystery driven, Exquisite story telling!! I was totally swept off my feet by this work of hers! I always liked her but with this one she just became One of My Favs!!
He thinks he noticed something which his his Idiot of a Best Friend couldn't BUT is that really the case??
One of the Sweetest additions by Yoneda Kou & her Older work to boot! Worth a million times Re-read.
Heir to the massive family wealth,sheltered,extremely good natured Haruka,who has spent most of his childhood at home & devoid of any friends due to his weak health,finally make a wish to his parents to attend a normal high school. Even though his main goal was to make friends,he ends up getting more than he bargained for - love!
I have no word to express the heart-confining cuteness of this manga. It's as soft as cloudy cotton candies & just as sweet as them if not more!
What will you do if you start falling for you Elementary school teacher, who's the object of your utmost respect & whom you have always considered your Role Model??
One of the Purest & Bestest BEST shounen ai EVER, that explores & portrays the depth of feelings rooted in childhood but sprouts & blossoms forth later. (And,NO. This is NOT shota, just in case you are wondering.)

I love your list. It's like a good mine ヾ(☆▽☆)
Gotta say shounen-ai genre is my 'shining holy water', which i need a regular doze of for 'cleansing' after reading too much yaoi ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
I've been searching for this kind of list, finally found it thank you for making such great list~~♡
This list is amazing!
Yayyyy.....Thank u so much!!
(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
Thank YOU!
I know that drama you're talking about!!! 如果蜗牛有爱情?may I also recommend the author (it was originally a novel) other novel 他来了请闭眼, the TV adaptation is pretty good toooooo
Thanks dear. Unfortunately I've already watched Love me if you dare(twice actually :P). I was really into C-dramas during that time. I binged one the good ones like - Nirvana in Fire, Empresses in Palace, The Disguiser, Addiction, including the aforementioned 2 dramas. I still go back to those from time to time. IMHO, C-dramas have the immense potential to surpass the ever-so-popular k-dramas but unfortunately they lack in quantity.
Btw, is the novel translated? I am interested in reading it if it's translated. Thanks again for your recommendation! Recommend me more like those if you know (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
I don't know if it's translated...I read the original, there's actually quite a few novels by the author that I love. And Nirvana in Fire OMFG is a fking classic!!!!!! I've binged it for three times and each time I find new details that amaze me. It really was well produced. I agree that some C dramas are good, and there's not enough of the good ones, but damn they have a lot of ones that are substandard and sometimes you need to spend a lot of time to find the jewels - worth it though. Much like good yaoi hahahaha
It didn't take me years to love your list ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
Thanks dear! Hope you keep loving this humble list for years to come. (▰˘◡˘▰)
