BL with genuine romantic development ( ´▽`)

Tired of conflicts revolving around a third hot guy/girl randomly showing up and causing jealousy? Or relationships that escalate quickly to smut after they get drunk once? Tired of couples that seemingly have no chemistry or are just borderline abusive? Say no more! 

This list will go over BL couples that I personally believe to have good romantic developments, pre-established & healthy friendships, and just good personality chemistry/dynamics. 
•This list will contain both sfw and nsfw!

OK SO THERE’S ONLY 2 CHAPTERS AND THINGS ESCALATE A LITTLE FAST THERE IN CHAPTER 2 BUT THIS IS SO CUTE!!! The chemistry is absolutely *chef’s kiss* and I love their cute little dynamic they have. I LIVE for the POC rep in manga like this too. It’s so fucking rad. They have a super cute friendship too!!

10/10 - amazing chemistry, kinda quick development , but overall well paced for the 2 chapters that I’ve read!!

7/10 - a goofy but sweet read

Ummm yes this is on here. Enemies to lovers FR. Starts out with one guy having his long-term girlfriend have a one-sided emotional affair with love interest nerd guy and chaos ensues. Both have great characterization and this manga actually fights against the normalization of SA with nerd guy’s backstory being very realistic and grounded.

Also DAMNNNN they’re hot together! The kind annoy-you-till-you-can’t-live-without-me relationship 9/10

Angry little bugger x Megane cool/cynical bastard. There’s one scene towards the end in this that just gets me everytime with how desperately they clutch at each other. The backstory between them is so fucking stupid and adorable and I’m in love. You can tell how much they care for one another in the small things that they remember about eachother. This is definitely for all my childhood friends/ enemies-lovers fanatics out there.
9/10 - great chemistry!! Genuine relationship buildin

Okay so far this is SO CUTE. I usually find kid-adult isekai soooo tedious, but this is really refreshing and cute and I am SUCH a sucker for the dually chronically-ill and chronically-badass main protag trope! Eat that trope for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even dessert honey. Anyway love the direction this is goin a must read for isekai lovers! 9/10

SOOO underated. Need updates asap. Boys with special powers but one has a particular power that empowers the other guy, basically they make eachother stronger and are useless w/o eachothee but omfg. So refreshing to see fantasy japanese manga let’s gooo. SUUUUCH good chemistry here it’s nuts babes

9/10 - can’t stop thinking about this one!

Things do escalate a little fast after a few chapters but these two have such cute chemistry!! They genuinely connect with one another and you can tell how much they care for one another by how considerate they are with remembering little things about each other. Also I’m a sucker for such a drastic dynamic between flirty, troubled guy/ a lizard man just tryin to live his life.

8/10 - cute dynamic and but a bit faster paced development, but it’s still there nontheless!

aaaaAAAH! This one is so cute. They do get down and dirty fairly early on but there’s so much development that happens between the two of them throughout their relationship and I absolutely live for it. They have cute chemistry too!! Usually I’m not into shy/meek guy and abrasive/cool guy dynamics, but there was something so well executed about this one!!

9/10 - Nice development and chemistry, plus it’s hot

I loveeeeee the fact this BL has actual plot outside of romance development, and I’m a huge sucker for the overworked trope. This one is smart, overworked accountant x serious, knight who comes to respect him. The “we have to save you through sex” cliche is there, but the guy consents to the “treatment” so I mean take what you will from that ¯_(ツ)_/¯. Overall I love the development and mutual growing respect between them!
8/10 -im a sucker for isekai
