[PG, slice of life, rom-com, found family, kids]
TW: emotionally abusive family
The story is revolved around strangers who started eating meals together, and is the most heartwarming BL manga ever. Seriously, it's really good for your soul. All of the characters are well written, their relationship is wonderful to read, the art is pretty...basically this whole manga is just a huge treat for me.
Sequel: https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/our_dining_table_seconds_please/
☆ 4.5/5
[18+, supernatural, drama, romance]
+ childhood friends to lovers
+ good writing
+ interesting plot
+ realistic awkward first time
Two childhood friends who were scarred by words and the years they spent finding the right ones to express their feelings towards each other. The way the author told the story is so brilliant that it reads like a well written and directed movie.
☆ 5/5
[18+, slice of life, found family]
TW: violence, yakuza, prostitution, period-typical sexism, sexual favors
+ strangers to lovers
+ growing old together
+ domestic
+ agender MC & transgender representation
+ pretty art and good writing
I've been postponing reading this for so long because I thought it wouldn't be my cup of tea but...how wrong was I. This is a beautifully written story about two lost people who found home in each other with so many favorite quotes and moments.
☆ 4.5/5
[PG, rom-com, school life, drama]
+ senior-junior relationship
+ funny and entertaining from beginning to end

A story about unrequited love. Very well written and developed. Sequel with a different main couple is ongoing: http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/form_of_sympathy/?P6M8
☆ 4.5/5
[18+, historical, drama, romance]
TW: period-appropriate homophobia, dub-con because of alcohol
+ childhood friends to lovers
+ poetic and beautiful writing
+ growing old together
Plot wise it's just childhood friends falling in love with each other but the author wrote it so beautifully. It's bittersweet, because of the situation they were in, but i'd like to think that they lived a very happy life together when it lasted.
☆
[18+, school life, romance]
+ strangers to friends to lovers

This is a really interesting dynamic! An honor student who is too literal for his own good and a delinquent who caught his interest. Unexpectedly soft and heartwarming.
☆
[18+, rom-com, slice of life]
+ 2 couples: established relationship & co-workers
+ great dialogue and writing
+ pretty art
An introvert guy's struggle to fit in with his new job, neighborhood, and friends. A wholesome story about finding a sense of belonging. It's also about learning to understand and accept others, and eventually yourself.

Such a fun read! Straightforward love story between a police officer and a middle aged ex-cop, it has some of my most favorite characters and the funniest lines i've ever read in a BL manga. Love it to pieces.

A realistic look into a committed relationship with simple plot but amazing writing. The banter between the MCs is so enjoyable to read, and akira is still one of the best characters ever. Please read back to back with the sequel http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/kaze_no_yukue/

Oh my god. Our Sunny Days was listed in this so I decided to take a peek at this list but all of them are too emotional I cant- Although I'll keep this list in mind when Im ready to face emotional mangas. Im still not ready because I know these will get stuck in my head and I wont be able to focus on my studies.
Really? I think if you scroll a bit you'd find a lot of rom-coms and slice of lifes tho ^^;; but thanks for checking!
I love this list to pieces thanks so much

Among the sea of shit glorifying rape and toxic relationships, this list is very very needed.
