Pining BL

first story full of unique age gap pining that draws out the tension in a beautiful, satisfying way.
lovely bunch of oneshots, especially the first, full of longing, interesting character designs, and gorgeous backdrop art.

simple and effective pining (which this author is always A+ at handling), the feelings are very strong and immersive.
the romance and the build up of the desire is very realistic.

incredible high school pining story, BREATHTAKING character art, what incredible and delicate strokes, and what a touching and careful look into the mind of someone infatuated (with hair lol).
the drawings of the two watching each other and coming together are especially engaging and poignant. this manga really gets you feeling intensely.

the most adorable MC pining over his ridiculously good-looking, kind, but out-of-reach teacher. great art and realistic buildup to the relationship. the best part is just how well the MC's longing for the teacher is portrayed.

hate-to-love detective type narrative with lots of comedy. the MC is an extremely lovable idiot who doesn't realize how in deep he is until it's far too late. his honest face gives him away even as he tries to hide his feelings.

Sweet as all hell. MC is head-over-heels pining for his best friend and doing his best to hide it from him.

TW: Consent Issues to a degree. The story acknowledges it as problematic.
The MC has been pining after his older brother's friend for YEARS and it's all tense and angsty and fucked up between them. In, ya know, the most delicious way.
