Tengoku mo Jigoku mo
As always, nishida higashi never fails to make me love her story and characters no matter how imperfect they are. This would've been a kickass action drama, sadly it was criminally short.
Nikushoku no Buka
Just a pair of successful, work-oriented men trying their best at romance. It's realistic and surprisingly sweet.
Dining Bar Akira
WAAAAY too underrated. I love these two so much. They're cynical towards life in general, like any grown adult worn by life is, yet they still found something worth pursuing in each other. I love their dialogue, their banter, their anxiety and reassurance in becoming lovers, everything!
Moon And Sandals
Seeing the rating hurts me man, this manga was so good and it deserves way more. I love the dynamic between the highschool boys couple, that shit is my favorite trope ever. MC is also straightforward and refreshing, and idk, i guess it still feels organic and realistic despite having some "mangaesque" elements
Ringo, Ki Kara Ochiru
TW: (not main story) rape, bullying //
The main story has everything i want from a highschool BL. Kaede is one of my favorite characters ever, and i want to keep him safe in my pocket! I don't really like their sexual dynamic, but i guess it's fine as long as it's consensual.
Shimanami Tasogare
TW: suicide thoughts, homophobia, internal homophobia, transphobia, queerphobia

This is something i wish i read growing up. I would have felt less alone in dealing with my sexuality, and it would have helped me to become less prejudiced against my own community when i was younger. A great manga about acceptance.
Yasashii Anata...
This is my favorite trope ever, all in this one book. Two badass men falling for each other so sweetly and tenderly, so lovey dovey while still being badasses. I wish there are more of them, like another volume would be Great, but i also think that the story ended in a perfect place.
Fools
Heart fluttering campus romance. This is my first ever translation project, so i have a Huge soft spot for this one. Although looking back i don't really like the main character lmao. But overall it's a good read with nothing problematic.
