-full color

*art style tis very pleasing
*full color
*I have genuinely laughed while reading this one

* Vampire x human
*slow burn relationship with plot

-you already know the art is gonna be sexy

Note: Check the chapters before reading! You do not want to read this one out of order, it'll fuck up the story for you

This pairing is lovely, watching them navigate communication as one is deaf and the other an expressive theater actor

-college student x college student
-art is immaculate w/ some gorgeous panels of hand signing & beautiful face cards
-always nice to have some disability representation, this is a new manga but so far its portraying this well

looking forward to how this plays out! :)

sooo this one may be a lil different from the other entries. Its really a simple and easy read but what sets it apart is:

*the art , full color and its unique watercolor style
*rlly some of the most adorable panels drawn (fluuffff)
*fast read, you can fly through this
*written by male author

so if your looking for something light and cute without a ton of dialogue to cleanse your palate, this is a good option

CW: domestic violence (not between MC's), some bullying

This one is for the light hearted folks.

*Honestly can say I don't think I've seen a bl partnership that begins with learning to drive lol
*dorky adorable men
*adult MC's in their late 20's early 30's

Look, in irl, its ACAB all day buuuuut I can look past it for these gay lil stories ;)
*age gap but nothing too dubious
*cop x criminal? lol
*the art styleeee
*thoroughly enjoy when there's an age gap but the younger one is the top
*personally I love the bookstore setting best
