Friends -> "Friends"...? (descent into madness) -> LOVERS
It's a pretty realistic take on how a friends-to-lovers kinda relationship would go (especially one where you and the homie been so "close" with each other transitioning to a romantic stage feels awkward but necessary). Them being a switch couple is a cherry-on-top - we don't actually see a lot of those...
Read this one first before you read the other one, since this one provides some context on what happens over there.
Another one of those amazing friends-to-lovers slowburn, but this one is veryyyyyy gentle and natural. Recommended read for those who want something comfy and can get over the patchy art.
Do NOT look at the reviews. The best way to read this is to go in blind. Get past the first chapter. Have fun.
How the author can make a human reincarnation of a slimy sewer rat erotic is beyond me, but she did it... very amazed by Ethan. Aside from that this comic is pretty fun. It's a shame how it's in hiatus hell at the moment.
uff... body hair kink... #adorkable
Adding this to the list exclusively for the first story (the one on the cover). THEY DON'T MAKE YAOI THIS ENDEARING ANYMORE!!! GRAHHHHH
On a side note I appreciate how good Shouhei's art on this. Plus the mini details spread out across the story, it just adds so much to what is essentially a really emotionally fulfilling one (two) shot!
sequel to the above^^^
If you like "Ringo, Ki Kara Ochiru," you will really like this one. There is just no BL like the stuff this duo puts out. My only regret is how open-ended this is, it really does feel like there was supposed to be more but alas. RIP Inutoki, I hope you're doing well on the other side.
Pretty much what you'd call a diamond in the rough. The quality in panelling, art and costume design (*) either dropped or stagnated across chapters, but I still found the leads so consistently endearing and realistic that it's really hard to not like this manhwa. At least give it a try, read like 10-20 ish chapters in to see if it's your thing.
(*) By costume design I mean the stuff that the characters wear regularly, because yes, that is still important for character building.
