LOVED IT! Secondhand embarrassment from ch 1 (i hate public sex skfjfmdm) but they turn out so sweet argh sex friends frivolous delinquent Matsuoka x student council pres senpai Uemura! I love that Uemura is realistically taller than Matsuoka even as an uke (rare, i love it) Matsuoka started out a pretty cliche forceful seme but as their feelings grow toward each other he is so considerate and gentle and Uemura is great too, i love their misunderstanding trope (i do appreciate a good crying scen
GIVE VIKTOR A TROPHY, AMAZING
WOW. Omg, a first time that dreams are made of. Beautiful depiction! Sooo healthy, there was so much communication and consent, it seemed so comfortable despite all the discomfort and embarrassment of a nee venture. Just such a comfortable read! Focused more on sensuality rather than pure sexuality and it was great. 11/10, Viktor was an awesome seme that did his best to keep Yuuri comfortable and enjoying the process and Yuuri was great at encouraging and initiatin
KUMO A+++ VERY SWEET
This was cute TT i like the storytelling! It feels like uke Kin had feelings for Ise-sensei at the beginning that Kumo noticed but was left unexplained, but Kumo x Kin was so sweet and loving afterward that the transition was peaceful and understandable even without having to expound on it. Lots of steamy scenes and cute scenes. I’d normally be bothered with the age gap of Tou and Ise-sensei (Ai wo Ataeru Kemonotachi flashbacks hdhdjsh) but they seem so animalistic to me th
CUUUTE! I love! Felt at first like Kigami-sensei was gonna be a typical yaoi seme but he turned out really sweet, and Sano is so great as well! One of my fave confession scenes A++ it was fun to read then bouncing off each others confessions before the big reveal of their feelings. So enjoyable how honest they were, and their first time was so sweet too! I love seeing a healthy couple giving and taking equally with each other. Akito (friend) is a great character too lol 10/10 a great break to re
Ryouji is A++ way up there, fave i STAN
I LOVE THIS!!! I’m pretty sure masochism doesn't work like just getting beaten up by absolutely anybody but ANYWAY- Ryouji is one of my fave semes ever, he is so sweet and gentle and his tsundere character are just too adorable! Yuki is great too, I love seeing a rare character who is extremely masochistic but somehow also really dominant wow! I love the dynamic between them and even though there are lots of steamy scenes from the start, its a slow burn
*cries* they are so sweet and perfect uhu Shou x Naoto from Simplified Pervert Romance! I love me an RR couple and Shou is personally so relatable LOL I LOVE NAO’S BLUSH!! I love how they mutually dote on each other so much with the repetition of the big confession, giving rings, and even acts in bed ohoho, this was a super sweet read, a comfort manga for the slow days! 11/10 Gay senpai x judo reasonably buff kouhai
OMG SEME IS AN ABSOLUTE GEM WOW MASAHIRO IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVES LIKE, I CAN’T SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT HIM!!! I loved this manga, it explored feelings and growth and finding love amidst the hurt. Haruhi is committing self-harm in a way by selling his body in contempt for himself and being compared to his charismatic twin brother; that is, until he meets Masahiro who befriends him eagerly. The confession scene was so lovely! A sudden surprising utterance that went so incredibly smoothly, it se
So beautiful! Picture book author dad x family goods salesman, i love how they helped each other bloom into a lovely relationship. Homare was unlikeable at first because he forced himself on Junpei (ukeception) but he later realized his wrongs and apologized and they had a healthy relationship after that! Junpei is a really sweet seme, and the side charas really shone here with the tragically beautiful backstory of Mashiro’s mom and even the stranger seme from the bar that just casually let it g
What a rollercoaster! Great read, seme did some very alpha-typical things, but it was made clear that he was a victim to his own instinct and he was actually a great seme who restrained himself as he knew he could have seriously hurt the uke. Pharmaceutical company heir x porn actor, the last alpha and omega in the world. I love how they resolved their feelings for each other and decided to do what it takes to be together in the end! Great charas, great plot, unique setting 10/10
Oh i really loved this! They were both so sweet, i loved Al’s battle with his duty and his heart and the tears that came along with his decision as well as how everything got resolved. Kotaro is really sweet too! Overworked salaryman x incubus, i really enjoyed the characters and the plot 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!
