Childhood friends Best friends to lovers

Congratulations on finding this list. You will find plenty unknown, underrated stories  inside. 

 friends since forever
 transition from being friends to lovers
 bickering friends that has became an item
 that tension and curiosity
 best of all, not loosing that friendship at the end.

 unranked. My favourites are at first page.

one of the best friends to lovers manga. very sweet and touching. the storytelling is great that you could identify on the dillemas of couples that has been friends for ages before hitching together. not to mention adjustments of being in a gay relationship with your straight friend whom you were in just a platonic relationship only a little while back.

Friends since forever, 10+ yrs
Uke went overseas, homecoming after 6 yrs.
Seme's oh-so-obvious secret love of 9 yrs
A relaxing slice of life manga in a typical small countryside where every gossip travels sooo fast you never knew what hit you. It's nothing dramatic or intense but i very much enjoy the good atmosphere bet. two handsome and model-like men. The meddlers are funny but might not be for everyone. Amazing art!
