Quality Drama

A teacher/student one that isn't too creepy (at least not from the age gap or one being too young).

Story of two yakuza high schoolers. Heavy on yakuza plot stuff, but interesting. Romance is good and no BS melodrama. Kinda refreshing to see such devotion in a story like this.

Male prostitute x driver. A nice tale that takes place among the out-reaches of yakuza society.

Haru, former yakuza/prostitute is forced to put up with the younger brother of his (now-dead) lover, son of a yakuza boss.

Interracial couple, set in an american prison. Lots of good looking boning, and a really compelling story + characters. Might be hard for some people to accept the dynamics of sex as a commodity among prison culture, but if you can, it's really great.

Two high school delinquents navigating a complex network of ambiguous relationships. Both protags are great. You will feel feels.

I really appreciate the effort and care that went into building the character relationships between the three before the two adults gettin' all butt-humpin'. Also, I hope there's a follow up with the kid and his friend Kazuya. :] Also includes a female side character who isn't a harpy at all! XD

Great writing about interesting adult characters with grounded but realistic problems. No melodrama here.

Two childhood friends, HS thru college. This story has some dark twists and turns, but it ends on a good note, so I would not call it a tragedy. Amusing extra chapters.

Adult x college student. Pretty straightforward BL plot, but where this one stands out is that it is firmly grounded in reality rather than BL-melodrama crazyworld. None of the usual stupid tropes are present (sick in the rain, extremely unlikely meetings), and when their situation overflows, they talk it out rather than have a chase through the streets or whatever.
