balanced/wholesome relationships (BL, GL)

I can't be the only one who doesn't like "Yaoi" and "Yuri" tropes and so prefers balanced, equal relationships instead. So I basically try to avoid those "seme" and "uke" stuff altogether and also the most explicit stuff. I know those are REALLY hard to find when it comes to mangas but I try my best to provide some sort of list.

This list contains m/m and w/w mangas

THIS IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE! It's about two youthful boys, who have to deal with the problems forced upon them by both society and their families. Everytime I read this I get this fluttery feeling. The relationship's equal and really healthy, they actually talk about stuff! Can you believe?

I even made a video about them!

A really heartwarming story about two guys. The other one has an impaired hearing so they have to explore their relationship deeper and it's just so nice to see.

Emotionally thrilling story about a voice actor and an editor, who end up having crushes on each other. This one's honestly one of my favorites. The characters aren't black and white and the romance's nice and slow. This has depictions of depression, child abuse and violence.

This story is basically about a tall sporty lesbian and her tiny clumsy gf. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! The romance's adorable, the friendships are awesome and the art's beautiful. It's also really funny and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

Everyone and their mothers know this manga already, but it's about two dudes. The other dude dates anyone who asks him only for a week, then dumps them at the end of it. Incredibly adorable BL.

I have to admit that I don't remember almost anything about this so I definitely have to reread! But it's about two boys, who go to different schools but take the same train every morning. It takes them a while to start to each other.
If I remember correctly, the later chapters have some questionable stuff going on but I'm too lazy to check it so be cautious!

This is still ongoing so don't kill me if something weird happens in the next chapters! So this is a slow burn high school romance, and the main characters aren't still together haha! They're really cute though! One of the side characters has some suspicious stuff going on (age gap, abusive etc.) but not the main couple! Yamato also mentions he doesn't want to take the girl's role in the relationship so yeah, some stuff kinda irked me but this is one of the best ones you can find, trust me!

Really sweet high school romance between two guys. This also has an awesome anime adaptation that I really recommend watching!
This has a very suspicious teacher who tries to basically sexually assault one of the main characters! But otherwise this is about adorable and really innocent love.

This was super cute but at the same time sad as it dealt with some serious themes. It's about Tajima, who sees a boy named Koga crying. Tajima just wants to see the other boy smile and it's so heartwarming!
There was a mention about Koga loving his stepbrother, but I honestly think it wasn't anything romantic, only trauma induced dependence.
