hi guys i have a question, it’s not about shutline but in a few days it’s my friend’s birthday and i was thinking about buying her a manhwa (a physical copy), she likes mm couples and nine stones is one of her favorite stories so i was thinking about buying shutline, personally i like the story and she’s not picky with plots or drawings but then i was also considering lost in the cloud, the art is beautiful and i’ve read great reviews but i haven’t read it, it seems so full of drama what do you guys suggest? thanks to everyone who’ll answer!

ps. i can’t pick both because i already bought her a toothless peluche (she loves httyd) and i’m broke

    Hi there, I dont know if there are physical copies of these, but here are a few suggestions. First and foremost Cherry Blossoms After Winter which is my favorite bl. Very little drama and angst in the first season than the rest is fluff. There is also Love Shuttle but just the main story avoid the side, Don't Cry Sunbare, Stranger Than Friends also just the main story. Some other faves Murderous Llewelyn's Candlelit Dinner also psychological thriller. Wolves Behind Bars, Bad Friend are on the more serious side. Those are all completed. Some good ongoing ones besides Shutline is Our Sunny Days and Nerd Project

    I'll suggest you buy one that you know the plot of, if you know her taste well then you can judge better and play it safe.

    I'd definitely say go for lost in the clouds ! It's a personal favorite bl. Wonderfulll storylineس and such the art style is deliciousssss and yes you aren't wrong about the drama part, but that's the beauty of the story!

    Id say Shutline, but it also depends on how comfortable she’s with smut. Lost in the cloud is plot heavy without smut, and Shutline is plot heavy with a lot of smut.

    unfortunately we don’t have a physical copy of nerd project because that would have been my choice, it’s such a good story! but we do have our sunny days and cherry blossoms after winter, personally i didn’t like the latter but i wanted to buy our sunny days because it’s so well written and i think she would love it, it’s just that it’s a bit over my budget love shuttle is one of her favorites, thanks for your suggestionsヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~

    that’s why i wasn’t so sure about lost in the cloud, i heard it’s amazing but because i haven’t read it i don’t know if she would enjoy it unfortunately there’s not a lot of titles i can choose from and i don’t like the majority of them, but thanks i appreciate your help (⌒▽⌒)

    she’s the one who introduced me to the wonderful world of yaoi so she’s totally fine with smut; shutline is one of the few works published without censorship in my country and that’s why i wanted to buy it ehehe; thank you for the help ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
