Hi~ I read this list to find a manga that i don't remember the name of. I was wondering if someone could help me pleasee ╥﹏╥
It was about students, one of them is gay and transferred schools, the other one once was liked by his friend and made it into a joke then that friend attempted suicide. When they meet each other the last student I mentioned tries to make up for what he did in the past with this new student that is gay and kissed him.
After reading the list again I saw that the manga I was looking for is the second in this list

Hey! These are my type of yaois. You can also add Gusari works here. He's working on DJs but i guess what fits on the this list are specifically the kono machi series. Just sharing but thanks again for putting up this list!!(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Heeey! I just want to say thank youuuu for this list <3 <3
(I think I put almost all the mangas in my list "want to read" x) ) I was "desperatly" searching for good yaoi I didn't know, and when I say "good" I think "realistic" ^^... so I'm glad I crossed upon your way ahaha!
And so, now I'm here, maybe I can give you some suggestions :D
- Dining bar Akira (about two collegues, and the one who is confessed is struggeling with the fact that the other is younger AND a guy ^^ ; it's a "feel-good" manga I think ^^ (really funny!), and even the drawings are quite realistic!)
- Raiatea (the seme is a native from an island lost in the Pacific, who had to leave in America, and was discriminated... to the point he discriminated himself, and is feeling so guilty about the fact he left his family, etc... And the uke is a photographer who is loosing his sight, haunted by a young man he met a loooong time ago... - This manga is really, really, beautiful <3 It's a poem. (the drawings are just gorgeous <3 and the text also) I think it totally fits your list!)
- Only you, only (just thinking about this one is bringing me tears ^^' If you want a homo-love-sexual story in Japan, how it can be difficult there, etc... then you read this one ^^; and of course, the drawings are... <3<3<3)
Voilà! :D
Thank youuu
Oo la la... Mercii! I must've missed your comment. Will check out your recommendations!
Hello! You can also read ao no flag. I think it fits here.
Ooo thank you for the suggestion! I will check it out
Sorry I forgot. It is not BL. It is more of slice of life. But it is worthy to try.
hey! I don't know if this is here already but it fits the list very well.
