Loved it, really sweet! Minami is so beautiful and charming while Sanjou is such a good seme! I really love their honest and eager relationship, RR moments with Minami’s boldness and Sanjou’s blushiness and seme POV ~ side story was just meh tho overall 10/10
Reread, loved it just as much as the first time TT Great characters, great interactions! Shirou is one of the best semes, strong but gentle and considerate while Kuroto is just as great, gentle and caring but brave and assertive as well. They are such a perfect couple and this is definitely a comfort manga to come back to! 10/10
Really great, one of my memorable faves! Lots of painful moments but also sweet, lovely to see Naoto’s strength and Hazuki’s love for his new family (GOOD RESPECTFUL SEME YESSSS)
Cute and fluffy but also steamy and sexy! Good ukes and good semes aa this was a great read, gave me heart diabetes!! Brocon senpai x brocon kouhai pretend to date to make brothers jealous~~
So so so incredibly beautiful. As a historical isekai of course there were some parts that left me confused, but each panel was so gorgeous in its art as well as rich in heart-breaking and captivating plot. The world building is amazing as well as all of the characters, it was so touching to see how deep the love between Dojin and Yellow Dragon were. So many moments to marvel at, many others to cry at, and my only complaint is I wish it were longer to go into side characters and other background
So beautiful, calming, cute! RR for seme POV and no strict roles (you wouldn’t know who would be what at the start :D) really lovely, the charas are great and feel real, and the art is gorgeous! 10/10, a great refreshing break ~ farmers son x hafu italian in the countryside
Cute! Age gap aside, really liked how their relationship progressed and how sweetly they treat each other~~ another seme pov from this mangaka~
SO GOOD! I love chill realistic high school boy relationships, and this was such a fun read~ really playing into the misunderstanding trope lol SO MANY GOOD MOMENTS! Gaku saying not to objectify women and ch3p23 “I’ll stop if you want to” YES KINGGG i love how they got together as friends first then realized their budding feelings, Gaku saying he discovered he likes guys more than girls thanks to Himari (goodbye straight semes in yaoi you’re done) and Himari jut being both pure but so bold.
So cute, exploring the fear of falling in love! Some really wowww scenes— Yoshino’s solo action, Rou apologizing for his wrongs (that he recognized himself!) also being caring and making sure Yoshino was comfy in bed with the pillow ee so cute! The extra scene with snusnu with Yoshino wasn’t cool tho imo, but overall super cute super beautiful and a great read~!
Good thing i was spoiled abt the gangr*pe because that was not cool... aside from that and Rei’s annoying character, this was really great! Awesome art and main couple, Tatsuya is cute and Kwntarpu be that respectful seme (omo switch scene??? CENSORED THO SMHHHHH)

this is an amazing list thanks fr
Reply to prev comment about Ao no Flag:
I totally agree with the point you made, but I just wanted to say I originally made this list for my personal use only hence why it’s not super neat and informative for other readers. I did originally also make this list for good semes who by my definition were pleasant to read about and generally didn’t engage in dub/noncon behavior, but that branched out to MLs in yaoi, shounen ai, and shoujo/josei as well. I actively look for manga where both partners in the relationship are equal without any weird power dynamics, which is why I put Ao no Flag hoping to say it was the opposite of imposing heteronormative views as it made it seem to you! I changed the title a bit to semes/MLs for more accurate generalization but won’t be going through the entire list since I still don’t plan on catering to other readers and getting more views, instead focusing on archiving my past reads. I never mentioned anything about the characters’ sexual lives and instead wanted to commemorate how lovely they were to each other in this reading list.
Hope this clears up any misunderstandings on my attention for future viewers of this list! Again, sorry it’s not very neat but I will continue to make all of my lists for my eyes only and am just happy to see anyone else enjoying some good manga you may find here ^^
I think this list could use some revising, I see that you put Ao no Flag in the list which doesn’t make sense to me because there is no sexual content to indicate who tops and bottoms. You’re kind of just assuming there’s a seme-uke dynamic because of their characters and size difference which is a bit heteronormative. They might be a vers couple for all we know
What a well compiled list, some of my faves were here
Btw, what does rr mean in your list?
RR = Role Reversal, basically featuring more dominant women and submissive men in some way or BL couples without heteronormative roles! Thanks for your sweet comment as well!

Oh sorry i just saw that you made this list for yourself please ignore my precious comment
This is a really nice but if it doesnt bother you could you do a separate list for anything that aient bl or change the title because its a tiny bit missleading since on some page there are only shojo manga, beside that thanks a lot for the efforts you put in this list
Not a problem at all, thanks for your constructive criticism! Just changed the title to SEMES/MLs to account for the shoujo manga, I’m too lazy to make a separate list and edit this one and and that’s partly why I make the lists in the first place, so it’s easier to reread stuff I don’t wanna write new reviews for;;; sorry and thanks for understanding!
Omg, love this list with those comments on it. Thank you so much!!!
Aw thank you!! Like all my other lists I made these completely for myself with my ranty thoughts so I know in the future why I like/dislike a series so much (bc I always forget and it frustrates me lol) glad other people can benefit too somehow!
