about a failed first love, traumatic death, music and the passion for it, and finding new love or discovering it. the youth and pure love in this is very overwhelming, this is really a masterpiece to reckon with. it is popular for a reason; the sadness, the depth of each personalities, the loss, the love for music and dreams for it. definitely a must read.
this is plain stupid but i love this. all about a dumb fuckboy who got dared to kiss anyone who he sees first, kissed a male student from his school that he never knew was a sex freak. the sex freak guy (ilovehimokaybutheis) then blackmailed the fuckboy into having sex with him. the art is so compelling and it adds with the sexual tension of the manga that i've come to love this lmao.
about a boxing trainer and a gifted underdog. the seme underdog blackmails the trainer, upon discovering that he's gay, into having sex with him. the fragility of the characters in this one is compelling; the lack of emotions of the seme and his inability to feel certain emotions, and the secret the uke has been trying to hide and the anxiety with it. how the story unfolds is very thrilling and dramatic.
about two highschool boys and their beautiful youth. although different from each other, it didn't hinder their attraction and love for each other. this takes on discovering, learning, growing, and loving so purely. the rawness and beauty of this is unmatched. it's just that beautiful.
about a wolf boy and a rabbit boy(?). a wolf family came down to the rabbit's village to search for a bride, rabbit baby was an orphan so the village decided to give his hand instead. THIS ART IS SO GODDAMN BEAUTIFUL AND THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT IS SIMPLE YET STUNNING which we would rarely see in most yaois.
about two actors; a senpai who was the no. 1 sexiest and his kouhai who replaces him. the sexual tension in this one is superb and the rut of the seme kouhai is craaazy.
about a demon lord and a hero in a modern world. the hero was supposed to make surrender of the demon king by making him submit to him. demon king is a kind tsundere while hero looks like a yakuza lmao.
childhood friends. uke is a pretty boy but he adores his delinquent friend that he tried to become one but he still pretty af. this is just beautiful okay so read it.
childhood friends with the other having a power of receiving one's sexual feeling or how horny they are (sorry if it's vague) when he stared at them for 5 seconds and he didn't want to look at his childhood friend. this may seem kinda odd but it's very nice and sweet.
about a sex worker and his bodyguard. bodyguard is searching for a job he came up with being bodyguard but didn't know it'll be for a sex working establishment. he accepted it because he got a lot of debt then he got to see the lifeless life of the sex worker he's guarding.
i loved this because it's common but the storytelling is still beautiful. the rawness and the lines of the art adds to the fragility of the story that makes it heartbreaking.
