The Man in the Mirror
This one, almost brought me to tears. The story is beautiful in the way it shows the characters complimenting and cherishing one another. The situation of how they met made me doubt how this would go (not a big fan of isekai) but I really ended up loving it and genuinely want to see more of the characters' story!
Itou-san (KURAKA Sui)
Bro, this guts you, it's a good read with a happy ending but it's so sad (；´д｀)ゞ. Loved it a lot, have read it twice. 5 stars. (TW for rape and gangbanging, due to the uke being a prostitute)
Sekai de ichiban toui koi
A very beautifully drawn story about a deaf man and a violin player, who met through odd circumstances and started to become friends. There's a ten year age gap but it becomes a lot less obvious as time goes on that there even is one. I've heard there's a volume 2? So hopefully, I'll get to see them fall in love and have some actual romance scenes! Right now this leans very much towards shounen ai, rather than yaoi.
Tamayura (yuki Ringo)
Take my five stars, my heart and my soul. This one is beautiful, seriously, almost cried. I loved it because it wasn't too over the top, it felt pretty natural and the story just melted my heart. I'm gonna cherish it.
The Only One Who Didn't Know
Okay so, I liked it. But, I hated the fact that it was so short and left out a lot of context. Maybe I missed the bit where I'm supposed to understand why Hyunwoo sucked but I literally shouldn't have to look for an explanation to know why. The story barely gave me context to make the conclusion and the only reason i don't blame myself for not understanding is because plenty of others were also confused! I would've felt more emotional about the ending if that entire thing had been cleared up. Season 2 was so short that I was confused on why and it ended up not telling us much regarding Hyunwoo leaving and his actual motives. Overall, this story needed more for me to feel something and it kinda missed the mark a bit.

Fake
Ahead of it's time in this genre. it has it's flaws...the amount of dubious consent is...yeah. But compared to most older bl manga, it does a way better job for me. I love the couple's back and forth dynamic and the fact that the story focuses on their lives as well as their romance. A new favorite of mine!
