Soo adorable TTT They make me feel so comfy! This reads like the feeling of home, the comfort they share in carrying their own pain. Just a ver lovely memorable read. 11/10
O-omg.., this is right up my alleyy.... ;//; so many RR moments! RR haven! Mc Mihye isn’t perfect (too forceful when i prefer gentle femdom) but omg the role reversals, the characters, the scenarios, darling Wigrun... uuu at first I was concerned I wasn’t going to enjoy it for the multiple guys when Wigrun is best boy and should be endgame but I like how Mihye detaches reality from the dreams well. Very good scenarios here like wow omg... Mihye really spelling out some readers fantasies and ANYW
Aw that was too sweet! Capable younger Kei x insecure and unstable Chiya. Kei is so adorable and endearing as he dotes on Chiya, but I really liked Chiya as an MC. I can relate to him trying his best but still falling short, especially when it comes to expressing his feelings, leading tomhim blurting out things he doesn’t mean. They’re really good and cute together and it was great to see them find assurance. 10/10!
Sooo cute and healing! I love Yamada’s earnest puppy personality, and also really appreciate Saika’s calm demeanor, but both blushing are just too cute~ Energetic boy x esper, such a healing sweet comfy couple! i love them especially with Saika initiating when they’re both inexperienced hehe good uke and very good seme 10/10
NOO THIS CAN’T BE IT RIGHT I NEED MORE WHERE IS THE LIGHT NOVEL
Sooo sweet! Senpai x kouhai, led together by a fortune telling app <3 i really love Kyono’s calm expressionless demeanor that melts around his friends and especially Kazusa, it feels real and is sooo my type the way he blushes hehe. And Kazusa! Soo adorable, just they way they mutually pine for each other is soo sweet to watch and i need more more more of them I love them so much! A sweet, gentle love story. 11/10!
Splendid! Such a beautiful complex plot tackling morality, what it means to be human, and love. I really wish there were extras to give us more info on what happened in the aftermath though. But the characters are really lovely and felt multifaceted and “human”! I love the complexity of their issues, Fetechou and Naerim alike swearing to protect each other, Naerim’s kindness and strength and Fetechou’s sincerity and dedication. Side charas and plots were really lovely as well, overall this was a
Soooo cute, I need 100 more chapters of this! So fluffy and sweet hehe, shy boy and popular boy are high school classmates who are a couple in-game <3 think of my darling signed in but no steamy, only fluffy ohoho
Bonus: can’t tell who is seme/uke, POV of taller boy, blushing and they’re equals in the relationship just a sweet fun read 11/10!
Really interesting haha! Short and sweet. RR thanks to the surprise seme hehe gorgeous wizard x buff neet, brought together by a confounding curse! 10/10
Literally role REVERSAL LOL really unique and sexy! Really annoying seeing su*cide being made light of so easily like that hence the imperfect score, but the rest is basically fantasy come to life lol i neeeed body switch trope in yaoi! Unfortunate host x narcissistic makeup artist. Really fun seeing the different expressions/personalities on the same faces and how well the switches were conveyed, plus their contrasting personalities go so well together! Aside from the aforementioned frustration
Sweet! All the characters are really great, just gentle and loving (plus seme said explicitly he was bi ohoho finally a thing in yaoi) young restaurant worker x worn out salaryman regular! 10/10

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!
