LOVELESS

Complete
Author(s): Penguin Frontier
Genre(s): Drama / Romance / Slice Of Life / Yaoi / One Shot

❣A really good timepass, if you ask me, the art is hella realistic and with the storyline also being real, raw, depressing, ,
they are fuck buddies no rape and Harresment

the whole point of this manga is being lost and finding true meaning of love even if your hopeless, you sometime realise it too late and lost it all

Spring Snow (Odongtong) Webtoon

Complete
Author(s): Odongtong
Genre(s): Shounen Ai / School Life / Webtoons / Tragedy

❣Oh my this will surely tear you apart, the art is not black and white, only focusing on the main characters, the story is not a roller coaster of emotions but something that will crush you apart in the end
no rape, but sexuality /gay discrimination, bullying , sucide attempt, death

the uke and seme both are good, at least sane people

I don't want to spoil but the whole point of this manga, is about how to live again by finding meaning in things you love
