CW: none as of ch2
AH ITS BY HAYANE SENSEI!! Yall This mangaka's works are gold. I highly recommend them! Anyway, this is actually good. I thought the seme would be an abusiv jerk but it turns out hes not. Definitely looking forward to more chaps :">
░░░RECOMMENDATION░░░
1. See you later, Mermaid
2. Boy Meets Maria
3. Okurete kita haru wa
4. Monokuro Limit
As I mentioned above, I love this mangakas works UWU #1 is by the same author and it's one of my favorites. The crossdressing dynamic reminded me of #2 and #3. #2 has that warm nostalgic vibe that I really love (I call it anemoia). This is also one of my favorites!! As for #3, the seme is such a precious one of a kind cinnamon bun, and this bl screams consent and wholesomeness. Lastly, the entertainment industry setting reminded me of #4. This one is actually good but it somehow ended abruptly or it felt like there are some things that couldve been added but the author chose not to(?). But nevertheless its a good read :>
Sleeping In My Book
░░░░░INFO&REVIEW ░░░░░
Setting: supernatural
Dynamic: evil spirit x novelist, disabled mc
CW: none as of prologue
I clicked on start reading because the white haired guy on the cover looks sooo fine. Im just a little bit confused tho. Is the novelist human or not? Because in the character information he has hooves.. Also, what does "evil spirit from his novel" specifically mean? Is the evil spirit residing in the physical copy of the book or is he one of the characters? If he is a character, wouldn't this be considered as reverse-isekai? Welp definitely looking forward to more chaps bc I have a lot of questions

1. Angel Buddy
I dont really know why but for some reason this reminded me of #1. They don't even have the same dynamics lol. Their only common genre is supernatural. This is shounen ai turned yaoi btw Will probably add more recs later
Boku no Barber e Yokoso
░░░░░INFO&REVIEW ░░░░░
Setting: work life > barber and salaryman
Dynamic: lovelorn, barber x customer
CW: none as of ch1
Aww Iga is too precious. I want to give him a hug (´-﹏-`;) and woah that barber looks so pretty with his long hair
░░░RECOMMENDATION░░░
1. First Bite
Sequel: Renchin!
2. Nemuri Otoko to Koi Otoko
Sequel: Sleeping Man Loving Man
Hmm Im sure youll get why I recommended #1 after reading it. But still, I wont say much because it will be a bit of a spoiler. As for second recom.. idk maybe it's because of the long hair but it somehow reminded me of the seme in #2. This is on the smutty side tho and it contains somnophilia (sex while asleep). Ill add more recomms when more chaps will be uploaded :>

Fukigen Itoko ga Kawaisugite Shikatanai
░░░░░INFO&REVIEW ░░░░░
Setting: living together
Dynamic: age gap, cousin x cousin
CW: incest > cousins
Putting the incestuous relationship aside, it wouldve been nicer if the author made who was uke and who was seme obscure or unknown until the end

Hana Saku Bokura no Koi Wazurai
░░░░░INFO&REVIEW ░░░░░
Setting: school life > uni
Dynamic: students, reencounter > childhood friends
CW: none as of ch2
Im sorry but uhm how do I say this.. I understand where Outa is coming from but his reaction and response is a bit too childish and out of line..? I mean, yeah sure you can ignore and choose not to talk to someone (I would also do that) but I believe that you can do so discreetly and maturely. To be blunt, he was acting like a needy girlfriend on a tantrum. Maybe Im judging him way too early. Will wait for chapters to see if there are more flashbacks to give him the benefit of the doubt. But, until then, my impression of him still stands :/
EDIT: Im sorry yall. I really cant stand how the uke's personality was written. Ch2 drew the last straw. Im dropping this. Ah but dont worry ill still update the CW, if I find any, for those of yall who like this :>
░░░RECOMMENDATION░░░
1. Nomi×Shiba
2. Renai-rubi no Tadashii Furikata
Uke's appearance reminded me of the uke in #1. This one is very cute and wholesome Just a little note tho, this hasnt been updated for 2 years :< Aaand the reencounter dynamic somehow reminded me of #2 even if the premise is not the same. It's a good read. I highly recommend it!!
Deen My Love
░░░░░INFO&REVIEW ░░░░░
Setting: - -
Dynamic: sadist seme, reencounter
CW: contains sadism and violence during sex which may be perceived as sexual abuse
ho man this is good. this mangaka and Harada-san are my favorite authors for non-fluffy, twisted, dark bl reads.
░░░RECOMMENDATION░░░
1. Kemono Asobi
2. One Room Angel
3. Henai Series:
- Henai
- Henai Maotoko-hen
- Henai Fumouhen
4. Hikizuru Oto
The sadistic and violent impulses reminded me of the seme in #1. #1 is a bit on the lighter side compared to this manga tho. Meanwhile, #2-4 are my personal favorite works by Harada-sensei :>
