Actually Good (and Sexy!) TL mangas

so TL aka Teens Love is a huge genre of erotic manga in Japan. unlike Josei or Shoujo which are generally PG to PG16 rated. TL is R18 and unlike say porn manga aimed at men, it likes to focus on Romance with the sex. So this list is all the TL i've read that i'd actually bother to rec to other people on basis of art, eroticism, story & characterization. pls note Good and Sexy does not mean Unproblematic. but i'll add warnings where applicable.

full summary later but short version? ML is a king among men in TL genre (and actually my Type tbh). FL is hilarious, eccentric and very uh direct. all sex is consensual. age gap romance but not creepy at all. Because SHE pursues Him and both are adults.

this is super heightened and ridiculous but in a fun way? like all TL the more u think about its internal logic the more your head is going to hurt BUT the ML is very devoted, the sex is enthuiastically consensual and the heroine has alot of agency (albeit not right away). but tbh the real highlight here is the art and erotic scenes. they are top tier imo.; the rest however is C+ tier at best tbqh. its colored webtoon version is even more stunning to look at but sadly only available in korean rn

yall this is SO GOOD. so the start of the relationship IS coercive but also mutually beneficial (and agreed upon). its a contract marriage setup but manages to feel refreshing instead of cliche. they dont start from a place of love but the story does a great job of showing how they become closer over time. the sex scenes are crazy hot and also show the relationship development. the more in love they are the more intense the sex becomes. also? FL is a total and shameless otaku. love 2 see it!

yes this counts as TL tho it has both het and gay sex scenes. het ones are majority. Shion spends more time as a girl than guy. still this is one of the better attempts at gender bender TL i've seen. buy this on Coolmic in eng but if u want book over webtoon format try DLsite or RentaJP, not in eng ofc. (warning: this DOES have dubcon and shion's boobs look v silly. smut's still p hot overall tho)

the beginning is HELLA problematic. he doesnt force himself on her but rather puts her in a position where it would be hard for her to outright refuse. so its coercive af. that SAID, story still managed to convince me of their love & root for their relationship. ML is teasing and aggressive but not sadistic or cruel at any point. (altho there isnt NEARLY enough foreplay, the sex scenes are still a good mix of spicy and sweet and actually help develop the relationship!)
