it's been a while since i read a bl in one sitting. this lawyerxlawyer bl with a dash of enemies to lovers features the story of a partner at a law firm and the budding lawyer he is forced to accept into his team. their banter at the beginning is so good and they aren't immediately head over heels for each other - you get to witness the ml grow as a person and then see both of them catch feelings, which i always love watching. such an engaging story!

thought i added this one to my list back in 2022 but.... i guess not... anyways this is literally peak bl. the first season was one of the best introductions to a story ever. the characters are brilliant and the chemistry and development are literally everything. i can't believe i hadn't added this LMFAOOO

let me preface this by saying that any story with multiple love interests is going to be controversial. this high school story about a guy with a massive crush on his classmate is no exception. i enjoyed the endgame couple, but i know many didn't--i would still encourage people who love that cute artstyle drama filled type of story because this has DRAMA. the end was very rushed but the story was hella good around the middle and i liked all of the leads, which is rare for t

i straight up didn't even realize that i hadn't added this one to this list yet until i checked to see if it was here because it is so good. the seme and uke are so unique and fantastic, this is a university-aged alphaxalpha story full of heavy emotion, stubborn characters, and a relationship the opposite of stereotypical. the storyline can be a little hard to grasp, but that means that this actually has one, and trying to unravel it is worth the effort.

you know those fucked up highschool bls with the childhood friends and the possessive-ass seme who is every flavor of red flag obsessed with the mc? yea, this is one of those stories, except it manages to avoid the kinds of things that screw them over: no rape, no weird and unnecessary love triangle, no prolonged misunderstandings. this is hella tropey but a fun read if you like the tropes.

zombie apocalypse bl with good pacing, proper developments, a plot, mystery, sexual and romantic tension, characters that are more than just their tropes, and fantastic art. too good to be true... this story is awesome and really easy to read, it takes well-loved aspects of bl and presents them in a world where there is more than just the romance happening. you end up truly rooting for the characters as the story unfolds.

this story about a guy who leaves his gangster family x a member of said gang assigned to watch him is so good because of its characters. they are brilliant, fun, their dynamic is fresh, and the art is good, but i found the plot of this kind of lacking. it felt like if the plotlines or characters were slightly more developed outside of their romance, this story could have been way better than it already is, and it's a good story.

royalty + omegaverse is a concept that can either go really good or really bad and i think this author is nailing it so far. the mc is a prince who has been forcefully imprinted on and strikes a deal with the mysterious alpha who claims he can undo his imprinting. a plot-focused slow burn like this truly hinges on how the story plays out and i think it's been really good so far, but only time will tell if it ends well

an omega having nightmares of a past is suddenly engaged to an alpha from a chaebol family that treats him strangely. this story is one ripe with development as you have to watch the mc adapt to his situation and slowly open up to and fall for the ml all while trying to piece together what really is at play. an omegaverse that lacks the common toxicity of the trope + great art + a likable mc makes this a really nice read

picked this up to pass the time and it ended up being really good?? this story about an office worker who reunites with an old crush is well-paced (not too fast and not too slow), has great art (and smut :P), is a slow burn, and most importantly, features unconventional and genuinely likable characters. the mc is no doormat and the ml is pretty and not an asshole. their dynamic is a lot of fun to read and i cant wait to see where this goes!

mc ends up in his sister's otome game in the body of a minor side villain. this story is a fun read due to all the tropes and cliches but it honeslty doesn't have much going in terms of substance in the romance! the premise of the story is so fun and the mc is likable so you keep reading but im really hoping the next season has some developments with the mls.

i am once again here begging everyone to read the novel.... if u read this and felt like it was good but missing something, read the novel. it has better characterization, better pacing, goes into more detail, and has way more interactions between the characters. the worldbuilding is more discussed, the /implied/ romance is more intense!!! this is great as well but the novel is so good that it pales in comparison!!

idk why it took me so long to read this but it's actually really good. the best kind of slow burn that starts off w a salaryman being haunted by dreams of when he rejected a schoolmate. this has one of the best chasing arcs in bl history, eventual smut, good art, and fantastic characters so like what else do u need

im not even gonna lie ive gatekept this from my list for so long cause its MY comfort manga. but then upon my 1000th reread i was like damn maybe someone else can discover this absolute diamond if i add it to my list. this story of a teacher and a tattoo artist genuinely makes me feel so soft. the healthiest and cutest relationship ever. the art is soo pretty and just everything about this feels like sinking into bed and snuggling into a warm blanket as it rains.

a chance encounter with the ml leads to the mc being a ghost magnet. this story is so good, i love the main characters so much. their development was so satisfying and their resulting dynamic by the end was so sweet and u could genuinely tell how much they loved each other. for the people who enjoy plot heavy stories w/ tragic backstories, beautiful art, a unique cast, and fresh takes on common concepts, this story if for u!

god idk where to start with this series. i can't even begin to think about how to put how this work made me feel into words... so im just gonna ramble. holy shit the ending was just SO GOOD. the way eunyung and haejoon found each other and then found so many more people... this story about an angry, abused child and a depressed, reactive one finding home in each other and in a place they once hated was so fantastic from start to finish. the way the characters are all mind-blowingly realistic and interesting with their own backgrounds, plotlines, and development, the way all loose ends are slowly tied over the course of this story, the way the ending had me sobbing but still felt so fulfilling... the message about haejoon letting go really got to me but i can't put it into practice for them!! i need more!!!! i need side stories with haejoon in university and eunyung making his way in life and juwan and hara and minju and marie and ILL MISS THEM ALL SO MUCH AAAAAAAAAAAA
also the news about an anime is amazing but it can't top this manhwa i fear. the art direction and subtle symbolism is so hard to miss unless you take each panel in slowly and carefully.
