where the seme is in love with the uke but the uke doesn't love him back/can't love the seme to the same extent/has another love but it's NOT the focus. super angsty. i'm saying seme/uke but im rly just referring to their like "roles" yk? so like i'm indifferent to whether it's a shounen ai or yaoi.
Heart Stain
The Third Ending
Define the Relationship
My Bias Appeared?!
some good ones i know of are shiguang in link click and seamoon (MAYBE eternalberry) in crk. like genuinely just unconfirmed couples that are so gay they don't even need confirmation for everyone to know they're in a relationship. anyone think of any good manga/manhwa/anime?
bls where the seme/top is super blushy and panicky while the bottom is super straight faced and nonchalant? like sub top and power bottom pretty much, but honestly they can both be chalant as hell . i know my guildmate next door executed this trope pretty well.
high clear
So, who got screwed
Unromantic
Step on me, my prince
basically just two average "straight" guys. neither one can be too hunky/muscular/big at all tho. you shouldn't be able to tell which one would be bottom/top at all, so no overtly twinky feminine ukes. i'm ok with them both being drawn twinkish, tho. or just normally would be great. bonus points if it's best friends to lovers especially. one i really liked like this was 19 days (the main couple), where they were pretty much your average pair of hs boys. but just really i don't want to be able to tell who's the top and who's the bottom like how it is for 99% of bl. more bonus points if there happens to be some sort of internalized homophobia, but it's not required.
some on this list that fits ur requirements

ilysm omg
my requirements are pretty loose with this one but at LEAST have the gloomy emo loner if anything. stories I liked with similar tropes include I love Amy (gloomy loner x insane preppy girl) I see you aizawa-san (emo gloomy loner x popular bubbly idol) and although it's not the exact trope i'll include it anyways bc it's close enough and it's my all time fav but nevermore too (emo tomboy x dominant fem girl). plz no bl or hetslop js gl with an emo girl in it pretty much bonus points for unique beautiful artstyle
oh I had a good rec till u said no hetero a shame
for me it was i love amy, the art style was so cute and bibi x amy is still one of my favorite ships <3 but my first gl EVER would be a 2017 glmv
I think my first was wdtfs (⌒▽⌒) bless team gaji
i'm looking for something like netsuzou trap. i loved the artstyle, the main couple, and especially the horniness, so ig im looking for something similar without any cheating necessarily. i'm also down for toxic yuri as well as long as its not just completely one-sided abuse. NO INCEST!!!! NOT EVEN STEP SISTERS!!!!!!
