Everyone in this story is super flawed, and i love that. Our MC himself is someone who only cares for his own gain, but he's somehow still likeable and you'll want to root for him.

This made me insane, actually. I wasn't up for the age gap and initial power imbalance but that quickly changed once i realized how well written this manga is. The art is superb too, which is all kinds of unfair, because i KNOW how rare it is to find such a well created BL manga nowadays. Nothing to say about the story or characters bcs they're something you need to experience firsthand!

It's far from perfect, but well written. It's far-fetched at times, but also painfully realistic. I hated both MCs at first bc they're such cliche BL characters, but in this manhua, they're made human. Their growth is really worth the time and enough for me to overlook the story's flaws. All in all a good one, glad i gave it a chance.

I've been putting off reading this for so long, and now i see that i should've waited longer.... i'm left feeling empty and changed at the same time. Such a great manga with great conversations and touching relationships. It's not really BL, more like queer, so i was debating whether it fits this list or not...but it kinda has similar vibe with Shimanami Tasogare, so i'll put it here.

Shingun really frustrates me sometimes like, a lot of the problems in his life since meeting Jake stems from his own doing. He knows it's dangerous but he always, always has to stick his nose into it. Like pleasee i just want him to stay put and safe. Everyone is always warning him and he's always telling himself not to get involved but then he walks straight in to the eye of the storm, every single time. I mean yeah, he said himself that he can't help but get drawn to danger, but he's so puzzling to me. It's like watching a horror movie and witnessing the main character make the wrong move again and again.

This kind of dynamic is seriously entertaining to read for me personally. It's toxic, sure, and it's not even a BL (it's BL adjacent i guess) but it's interesting and i'm curious where it will end up.

A story about a special unit that existed for maintaining the peace between human race and beastmen. This is too short! Has a great potential to be an amazing long webtoon (and even a TV series, god that'd kick ass), but sadly it's only 28 chapters. Even so, it's a satisfying read dense with interesting plot and characters.

I enjoyed it a lot. Didn't care about the sex scenes because so MUCH of it is just dubcon after dubcon, but the other aspects of this manhwa are incredible. The writing and characterization are great, and it's worth the wait just to see both MCs grew as characters and came together.

Oh man this is wonderful! Just like the title says, it's about a (super adorable) vampire and his pleasant companions. From what i've read so far the characters rly shine, the plot is intriguing, the writing strong, and the art beautiful. I hope it stays that way till the end.

Holy shittt the grip this has on me. The whole time i was reading as if my heart was on my throat, i couldn't stop even a second. The writing is really well done, it's creepy, mysterious, sad, incredibly fucked up, yet it's also touching and funny at times. It's fun to read, albeit a little unsettling--but that's why i loved it a lot.

A really well written story! It's not focused on romance, it's more about the ins and outs of a friendship between two polar opposites, and i'm all for it. The characterization is on point, and i love that the two main characters stayed true to their personalities to the end. The author did a great job portraying how relationship works in real life.
