I’m throwing this one at you because genuinely it’s so good and deserves more love with how new it is and how it handles certain topics
https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/yatara_yarashii_fukami_kun/
it’s 75 chapters atm and ongoing
to summarize, mc works in an office and is very popular with his co workers and admired while also seen as perfect by them
however, he’s actually a narcissist playboy behind the front he’s putting up
in his private life outside of work he’ll hook up with guys and go on dating apps and so on but cannot find love no matter what (while also being a judgemental asshole himself who rates his own hook ups)
however! everything changes when he meets the ml who’s a co worker but also his polar opposite with the two going on a work trip that results in them sleeping together and making a deal that if mc doesn’t fall for ml they can keep sleeping together
the anime adaptation isn’t a must watch per say since it’s just 8 short episodes of the first minor half of the original manga adapted with small changes (including the sex scenes, uncensored version for the win!) alongside the very recent live action adaptation

I'm not sure if these are hidden gems cause I can't exactly tell what's underrated and what's not but I really enjoyed these!
Peak bl recomms? Preferably hidden gems
