god i have so many but
https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/on_the_bit/ first comes to mind. short, completed, heavy on bdsm themes and power play (bottom is a dom bottom and a noble and top is the servant)
https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/dear_00/ is PEAK but bc of publishing issues we are s1 only for the foreseeable future.
https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/i_m_not_drunk_1/ completed! people mock my uke but he’s so dead to my heart
https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/love_gym/ tbh the bottom does more of the protecting but i gotta have an excuse to throw one of my faves on here. completed too
https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/my_half_esper/ some more melanin would be great but i love a flipped esperverse warning for dubcon
https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/the_secret_to_winning_unrequited_love/ Ongoing and one of my favorites bc of the third ending type vibes
https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/comfort_rewinder/ Completed. Peak. I keep shoving this down people’s throats for GOOD REASON. REUNITED FIRST LOVE BUT FALLING FOR WHO HE IS NOW LIKE GRAAAAAAAH
https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/biscuit_1/ The reason I remembered on the bit was bc someone was compiling ukes with darker skin tones and i immediately recognized the uke from on the bit and from biscuit bc wow is he a pretty thing
https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/rix_vanus/ my absolute favorite. it’s complete and i love the art style and at its core it’s a story about love (a god to the lives it governs, between family and friends, and between lovers) and follows a unreliable narrator who tries to seek a quiet place to perish bc he’s cursed by one of those fuck or die lust spells and he’s take that to the grave. and so yeah there’s a lot of dub con and non con in the beginning but it just keeps unfurling into a beautiful journey ; w ; but he’s still the protector lol. his top is his sole protector he’s a strong boi
can't forget this one

Can i get a bl reccomendation where the bottom is the darker than the top. I just noticed a recent pattern where the darker one seems to always be protecting the one with fair complexion.. and it's been bothering me(;>_<;)
