tofu's manga / #Found Family(81)

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.

About a seemingly charming man and a gloomy boy, who both had lost the most important figures in their lives, and how they managed to find refuge and family in one person.

TW: internal homophobia, trauma, self-destructive behavior, dubcon This is a tender and touching manga about healing and moving on. The MC, Shouta, is actually the best boy ever graced BL world. Will hurt and heal your heart so good.

TW: toxic masculinity, heteronormative remarks I love this couple! Their dynamic is fun and touching to read. You can tell that they've been together for a long time. They're not perfect of course, but they match each other and it makes me jealous but happy, too.

If you ever feel like you need a good cleanse from all the bullshit that's happening in the BL community, read this. It's so pure, even the conflict is so pure, everything will make you feel like you're tucked inside a warm blanket holding your favorite person and eating your favorite foods. Wholesome and healing.

TW: huge age gap (19 years)

TW: incest, violence

I think every trigger warning existing on this earth could be applied to this manga lmao-- it's that dark and depressing. And yet, there's still charm, humor, warmth , and hope even when it's so bleak sometimes, just like how the lives of these characters were. I can't explain with words how much i love this manga, despite (or is it because of??) all the shortcomings of the characters and the writing / plot.

A heartwarming story about an ex-professor who quit his job to become a farmer. The BL is an undertone, this is more about the beauty of the village and the family MC finds among its people. Ngl makes me want to be a farmer too.
