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!

If you want a really genuine romantic build up this is best of the best. Lots of backstory to help define each individual character and just in general an angsty but sweet (HAPPY ENDING) romance. This one just hits the spooot. The two characters are lovely together and the art is super good.
9.5/10 - it’s some of the best written short-story BLS I’ve read :>, super melancholic but fills you with a happy relief

This is a more serious one with comedic undertones! Mafia-boss in Russia setting. Serious yet flirty mob boss x fiesty, unpredictable lawyer. I love this one for how refreshing it is! I’m actually compelled by the story and how it contributes to the building of their relationship. Pretty slow burn compared to other BL webtoons out there. Cannot get over how much I LOVE the lawyer dude, very strong characters.

Kinda toxic, in sexy obsessive way 8.8/10

bodyguard trope working 24/7 to appease the girls, gays, and theys. Great celebrity vs scary bodyguard dynamic and it’s just a great, wholesome relationship to watch grow! Very sweet and saucy read

8.5/10 - MUST read for my bodyguard-trope SCHOLARS

SOOO GOOD!! Actual communication skills among both protags?!? In a BL manga?! Unheard of. These two are so mature but still have so much chemistry that even works great with the plot and I’m just absolutely in love with the slow romantic Development between these two and their eventual reliance and need for one another.

9/10 - great chemistry, amazing romantic development

Defff warning for NSFW but I am such a sucker for historical BL with dramatic reunions? Like omg yas destroy him emotionally and then just show up like nothing happened bae! JUICY. It has a really good enemies-friends-lovers-enemies again kinda dynamic that I live for! I do think the sex is awk timed and could have easily been later on but still a healthy relationship? In a historical manhwa? Shocked and pleased 8.9/10

Quick development here with sex scenes BUT HEAR ME OUT: meaningless consensual hurt/comfort sex in the midst of an apocalypse? Both traumatized? The chemistry goes CRAAAAAAAZY!!! The development *muah*. I was hesitant because things seemed to be moving fast in the beginning but the emotional/romantic development is like a slow trauma-bond/ he’s the only one who understands me type bond and UGHHH delicious.

Hurt/comfort romance in zombie times! 8.9/10 !!!

We love to see cute, wholesome guys break free from their toxic situationships to be with the hot librarian!

This one had some anticipation to it usually I can kinda predict where a plot is going but I was genuinely surprised at how much conflict the third guy caused in this ans it added a nice scrumptious layer of depth to the story-telling and development of their relationship.

8.5/10 WORTH UR TIME!! Read it

Amazing dynamic and development + super fun chemistry and kinda a “world’s collide” kinda storyline between a country bumpkin and a privileged corporate city-boy

9/10 - Love Love Love, while it’s short it’s just as sweet and relatively rationally well-paced. A total must read for those who like opposites-attract stuff.
