legit good bl

3.5/5 fluffy. this is the definition of healthy relationships and good pacing. it can get a little boring sometimes but it's fluffy so it doesn't feel like a chore to read. an amazing starter if you're new to the genre!

5/5 so good T.T the mc actually has a personality and although he's a little whiny it doesn't feel annoying, also i'm weak for height differences so yes, this has everything i like in a bl.

cw // nsfw

4.5/5 so cute. school boys slowly falling for each other. i'm a sucker for the nerdy x care-free type relationships >< i love the pining and the way it makes your chest ache at some points not every manga can achieve that.
it also has a movie, the animation's chef kiss so you might as well want to check it out.

tw // a teacher attempts to kiss the mc, nothing happens but it can make some ppl uncomfortable

4.5/5 sequel to doukyuusei.
their relationship is so wholesome i love them T.T kusakabe is such a well built character he deserves the world.

cw // light nsfw if i remember correctly

4/5 CUTE!! love/hate relationship at first, honestly it's just the mc being bad at feelings. their dynamic is so good and they both have personalities. the side characters are also great

4/5 sequel to karasugaoka don't be shy!!
just them being wholesome and learning how to have a relationship. it feels so natural and progressive i love them

4/5 i read this one a while ago. it's great, i love the art and the fact that it can be a little angsty at times but it isn't heavy, just to make your chest hurt a little. the progression of their relationship is what stood out for me. it feels like they're healing together. heart-warming.

tw // the mc has a relationship with a grown-up while he's still a minor. it isn't romaticized tho.

4.5/5 SO GOOD. i feel like this one's more friendship-based. the feelings are there tho so it's just a slow SLOW burn. long but worth reading you can't get tired of it.

4/5 wow. i already read the novel and it's just chef kiss. it will probably get censored but it's still excellent so read it!!

5/5 still reading this one but so far it has the potential to become one of my favorites. the art is immaculate and the mc is so ??? pretty ??? like wow i'm stunned.
it was a little bit confusing for me since i'm not used to reading historical bls but i think i'm somewhat starting to catch up

edit: so i read the novel for this one and wow, now i'm obsessed guys you should definitely read it omg it's wow just wow and yeah xie lian is obviously the prettiest
