UNREQUITED LOVE

Unrequited love is my favorite trope in yaoi manga. The reader gets to look into a character's one-sided feelings, their insecurity and vulnerability with those feelings, and how they often keep it to themselves in fear of being rejected. Since I am quite empathetic, I can't help but relate to and feel the pain. I've read I shit ton more of this type but I'm narrowing down this list to the ones I find to be the best. I've tagged all of the ones I've read with "unrequited love" in my read list.

Oh my god this perfect. Idk why but I really feel a lot of connection to the uke... Maybe it's his personal insecurities and doubt in others (yeah that sounds about right).

Lawlz at the comments that the seme was "cheating" I think this was a pretty realistic portrayal of love. During the uke's inability to own up that he loves the seme, the seme would obviously slowly drift to find someone who treats him better. The uke realizes this and it's even mad that the seme "cheated" but rather underst

THIS. IS. ABSOLUTE. PERFECTION. ITS SO SUBTLE YET POWERFUL AND PAINFULLY REALISTIC. THE STORY, CHARACTERS, RELATIONSHIPS, AND CONCEPT ARE SO WELL DEVELOPED. YOU FEEL SO MUCH FOR THE MCS AND CANT STAND TO SEE ANYTHING BAD HAPPEN TO THIS CINNAMON ROLL COUPLE. THEIR LOVE FEELS SO GENINUE AND ALL YOU WANT TO DO IS WATCH THEIR RELATIONSHIP GROW LIKE HOW A PROUD PARENT WOULD. I DONT EVEN KNOW WHO I LOVE MORE THE UKE OR SEME. I ALSO LOVE HOW THIS IS A SUPERNATURAL VAMPIRE GENRE BUT THEY ARE SO SUBTLE A

At first glance this manga easily could be a typical two/three chapter story about an incestuous unrequited love that would lead to some small misunderstanding (rape possibly included), followed by a rushed and unconvincingly conclusion that the feelings are mutual, and the older brother's woman phobia would be completely glossed over. However, after going through the raws, this story surprisingly gets pretty dark, sad, and complicated with a lot of character development. It really makes me exci
