If you like Tiger & Bunny dj, but have never seen the series... skip reading this manga and actually WATCH IT. Understanding the true dynamics between these two men makes the doujinshi 100 times better. Trust me.
Plus, it's just an excellent series. (25 episodes)
Available on Hulu and Netflix
Season 2 (At long last!)- debuting on Netflix April 2022
Highly recommended
This manga was adapted from the first Tiger & Bunny movie.
"Tiger & Bunny: The Beginning" expands on the first two episodes of the series and adds a new extra story line that appears to be a pivotal point of when they finally begin to warm up to each other.
The anime itself is way better than the manga adaptation and is a great introduction to this series (dubbed):

A reluctant Barnaby is teamed up with a new hero, Golden Ryan. However, something seems a little off about Barnaby's new partner.
"Tiger & Bunny: The Rising" takes place one year after the final episode of the series. Contains several spoilers from the series, so don't watch it until you've seen the entire series. English dubbed (1 hr, 40 min):

A short, 45-second clip from episode 2 with their dubbed English-speaking voices. It's the first time Kotetsu calls Barnaby "Bunny".
This is their second reluctant attempt work as a duo. The first time, hours earlier, had been an utter and dismal failure. (Link: YouTube.com, poor quality video)

Barnaby x Kotetsu, Kotetsu x Barnaby
Highly recommended
^You read that right. A very rare dj where they switch. Tiger and Bunny AS IT SHOULD BE. Of course they're still gonna squabble about who gets to top...
Nice story about Barnaby doing something about finally making their relationship intimate.
Kotetsu x Barnaby (seme/uke roles undetermined)
Recommended
Barnaby finds himself unexpectedly aroused by Kotetsu and tries to sneak off to the bathroom to secretly deal with it. However, concerned that Barnaby might be ill, Kotetsu goes to check on him and is shocked to find Barnaby masturbating. The sudden, very brief, passionate encounter leaves both men shaken to the core by the discovery of their desire and growing feelings for each other.
Shounen ai- almost Barnaby x Kotetsu
Highly Recommended
Kotetsu notices Barnaby looking drained for some reason. When he visits Barnaby's flat, he seems to be sensitive to paranormal vibes. Kotetsu becomes possessed in turn by the spirits of an arson victim, 4 year-old girl, a cat, and a prostitute... all needing a specific desire fulfilled before they can move on.
Great art and plot, with both Tiger and Bunny totally in character. This easily could've been an actual episode.
Shounen ai- no seme/uke roles
Recommended for fans of the TV series
On Halloween night, Barnaby realizes his feelings for Kotetsu after running into a demon with Kotetsu's face... or is Kotetsu after all?
Barnaby x Kotetsu
Highly recommended
*This story contains major spoilers.
As Kotetsu agonizes over his fading powers and his intention to quit being a hero, Barnaby suddenly loses all memories of Kotetsu.
For fans of the series, this takes place the day after the "infamous slap", with Barnaby losing his memories immediately afterwards, which deviates from the original storyline. Also AU as they are in a relationship, but yet they stay very much in character.
Pairing: Kotetsu X Barnaby
Recommended
A brush with a NEXT has left Kotetsu unable to be seen or heard by anyone. He seeks out Barnaby for help but finds him asleep in bed...
Can be considered somewhat "in character", given the emotional state of the characters in this situation. Sexy and very sweet.

Thanks for this list and especially for telling us which one is seme and uke. I put some of these On my tiger on top list. I gave you credit :0)
Hey! Thanks for that. I'm going to work on this list again to give them all some kind of summary, and to organize them better by pairing.
A lot of "Barnaby on top" djs have them really OOC. I tend to prefer "Tiger on top", though I imagine if it was done true to the characters, they would switch, with an ongoing battle of who would be topping and one of them conceding eventually for reasons tied to that chapter's plot or subplot.
