tofu's manga / #Manly(202)

As always, nishida higashi never fails to make me love her story and characters no matter how imperfect they are. This would've been a kickass action drama, sadly it was criminally short.

Just a pair of successful, work-oriented men trying their best at romance. It's realistic and surprisingly sweet.

I first read this manga when i was in highschool. It's extra special to me because i found it in a time where i struggled a lot with my sexuality. It's amazing to think that this manga, with its healthy communication and relationship between two gay men, is the first BL i've ever read. I've had (and even liked) my share of toxic BLs that read like garbage once i grew up, so i'm really glad that this manga is the total opposite. I reread this like a thousand times, and it's still as good as my first time reading it.

TW: animal abuse I thought this wouldn't be to my taste but i was wrong yet again. 2 delinquents who'd been friends since they were little finally got together after pining after each other for so long. Seriously, reading about two BAMFs being adorably in love is one of my most favorite pastimes!

TW: (not main story) dubious consent, homophobia, blackmail Main story is about hilarious misunderstanding between two co-workers that resulted in them realizing their love for each other. I read it like 100 times, it's funny, sweet and super entertaining to read.

TW: stalking, trauma

TW: incest, violence
