balanced/wholesome relationships (BL, GL)

I can't be the only one who doesn't like "Yaoi" and "Yuri" tropes and so prefers balanced, equal relationships instead. So I basically try to avoid those "seme" and "uke" stuff altogether and also the most explicit stuff. I know those are REALLY hard to find when it comes to mangas but I try my best to provide some sort of list.

This list contains m/m and w/w mangas

For Your Love

So there are two high school students and one has a crush on another dude but the other one has a crush on him but he's really oblivious. This is pretty cute but honestly not my favorite. One of the characters is pretty passive about the relationship at times and it felt a bit one-sided. Still would classify this as a "healthy" relationship compared to most of other bl mangas.
This has a mention of mental health problems!

This is about a high school student named Jaewon, who ends up having three guys interested in him. One guy is pretty forceful and the love interests can be quite jealous at times. But otherwise an okay read. I thought Jaewon ended up choosing the best one of those three. I also liked how this comic portrayed female characters. This also contains heavy topics!

A boy named Geuroo keeps seeing Lee, a boy who seems to disappear leaving only clusters of light behind. This is really short but still sweet enough.

This is essentially about four school boys and the hardships they encounter. There are two main couples. I only cared about the one that doesn't involve the so called main character. The protagonist is too feminized. That's not because he crossdresses but because it sometimes feels like he's the blushing damsel in distress so the relationship's lacking balance. But the first introduced couple is incredibly sweet and well developed and they're the reason I added this
