Can Someone Like Me Move In?

Complete | Guchil | 2019 released

Help this was a funny read. The MC was so naive that it amused me. The ML wasn’t that slick with hiding his obsession… The art was kind of weird? I don’t know if it was the anatomy or if the drawings were warped, but it just looked weird. The ending left me with a creepy aftertaste, but I suppose that was the point. Interesting read, though I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Houkago no Etude

Ongoing | HIRUNE Cyan | 2020 released

This manga is so freaking good… The leads are so cute together; I love their dynamic sm. The height difference? The flirting?? Gimme more pls!! The ballet aspect is really well done (the art is so *beautiful*). Almost reminds me of some sports dancing manga like ‘Welcome to the Ballroom’ and ‘Ten Dance.’ I wish hell upon the freaking p3dophile teacher guy. I hope the author addresses the grooming properly because that’s a black stain on a manga I otherwise really like. Anyway, I love the leads’ passion for dancing and the themes of youth/growth/chasing after your goal.

Yoake no Joshou

Complete | Mitsuki Emi | 2000 released

I came for the cover (Arun is so fracking hawt), but the first couple wasn’t that bad! I liked how it was actually mutual love all along, and it showed us their relationship as adults. Very wholesome and sweet. Also realistic! I appreciated how the author included their fears of being rejected as a gay couple. Kiichi’s brother’s love story was also pretty sweet. Loved their dynamic. Anyway, this taught me I need more Indian rep in BL!

Meruhen na Otoko tachi

Ongoing | Itsuki Makoto | 2000 released

Ahhh this was so cute! The premise was funny (met on a dating app, accidentally lied about gender), but they sorted it out. The ML was indeed sus at first, but I’m glad this didn’t turn into dub con. I found the angst to be quite realistic. The MC was hurt, but he hid it because he wanted their relationship to continue. *sobs* Anyway, the art was saur good. Loved the communication (aside from the misunderstanding). This manga subtlety broke a lot of conventional BL tropes (the ML was the little spoon like whatttt). Good read! Glad they’re happy

Mamotte Agetai Sawatari-san

Complete | Nanatsuno wataru | 2022 released

This manga is literally so funny. I love how their dynamic even before getting into a relationship was quite close? Bordering on queer platonic, but you can feel the tension so palpably! I am simply a whore for this kind of stuff. anyway, this was such a funny read? loved their dynamic and their circle of friends! the angst didn’t really angst, but i didn’t mind tbh. so fluffy. i can never get enough of the unlucky x lucky trope. don’t have anything bad to say about this really. i enjoyed this sm ^^

Two Hot Bachelors

Ongoing | Ruri fujikawa | 2019 released

Actually wayy better than I expected. In the first story, I just couldn’t bring myself to like the ML… his experience with loss was very relatable tho. and his dark circles were hot. i don’t think the chemistry was there tbh… sure, there was attraction but idk. i desperately need the second volume to see more of their couple dynamic because the silly misunderstandings were not it for me… very sexy though. almost too much sexy. second couple was meh. not my cup of tea for now

Misunderstanding

Ongoing | Guji | 2024 released

omg this looks rly good alrdy… plus the ml is so hawt??? Update: Wow, that was actually so fluffy??? The healthiness?? THE COMMUNICATION?? The consent?? Literally S-tier. Short, sweet, and smutty. I just wonder whatever happened to the ML’s kinks?? Like, we know he’s a masochistic top but other than that one scene we don’t see too much of it… Idk if they’re completely vanilla in the end or what. Surprisingly great read.

Over The Paradise

Ongoing | Matsultang | 2022 released

Very interesting! This is still guideverse in a different font, but the setting combined with the zombie elements make this more of a refreshing read. The characters are relatively likable as well. Liking the slow burn and the world building! I’m absolutely digging the art style. This is tew good

Tameshi ni Komando Itte mita

Ongoing | Yukue moegi | 2022 released

eh dom/subverse isn’t my fav but if it’s this author… update: WOW. i love this approach to guideverse??? this is another one of those universes that play on societal roles (which can be likened to gender), and this is rly refreshing bc it’s not just the normal dom x sub pairing. masa is actually a switch! this author always makes bangers, and they’ve done it again with their incredible art and storytelling. i love, love, LOVE the leads’ dynamic and how the “sub” can actually like refuse the dom’s commands. it emphasizes their identities as equals. i’m always a sucker for the friends to lovers trope as well. probably the best subverse story i’ve read so far

My Secret Stalker

Complete | Hiro Haruyoshi | 2022 released

i love this mangaka’s art style~ the premise is very dubcon-y but im kinda into it for some reason. Update: this should have been a psychological horror with the ML quite literally breaking and entering the MC's house and then sort of (?) raping him erm.... but the MC was okay with it. In the end, it was a mutualistic relationship... plus the smut was hot. i think that aspect saved this manga from being a thriller. it's not a story you should really think deep about. they were happy in the end, so good for them ig 5.5
