shounen ai mangas that should be a part of your reading list if you enjoy reading healthy and plot-driven romances- part 2.
this is a continuation to the first part of this list i made earlier this month, part 1
6. Until i meet my husband.
the reason why i want this manga to be a part of your reading list is simply because it changed my perspective on gay relationships as a person, there were so many things that i was never able to inculcate myself or things that where actually alienated to me, this manga is actually inspired by a memoir written by ryousuke nanazaki, who happens to be an activist and the manga revolves around his life growing up as somebody who identifies as a gay man and his life till he finally met his husband, i encourage you to give this manga a read and try to understand how gay relationships actually are and not the female gaze that always markets in the shounen ai industry.
7) Koimonogatari.
koimonogatari is alot more than a shounen ai manga, it's about self acceptance, friendship and internalized homophobia, there were multiple instances in the story where i had to sit back and cry and actually introspect for a minute by putting myself in the main character's shoes, if you actually want to experience an actual expression of accepting your identity, please give this manga a read.
8. Restart after come back home.
this story often makes me think about how home is actually a person, i honestly get so overwhelmed with the comfort this manga brings while reading it out, whether it is the art style or honestly the way the characters are written or perhaps it's the grumpy sunshine protector x sunshine trope all over again, please read this out to experience how a story can feel like a literal hug.
9. The two lions.
i have and always will love furuya sensei's work, whether it's the iconic the summer of you series or the two lions in itself, the way she developes her characters and the progression of the stories, it is impeccable, the two lions is such a refreshing read that you would not even realize when you developed such a strong connection towards both the characters.
10. Happy Birthday.
i hold a special bias toward author ymz's works perhaps because i have been heavily inspired by most of her works and learned a lot of things about my own writing style, whether it's sayonara heron or happy birthday, the way she writes her characters and the melancholy, everything is so heart warming and wrenching at the same time, happy birthday again is a lot more about friendship with differentiating factors and points where they intersect together in an utterly chaotic yet in an articulate way, the art style has my heart and you should probably experience this story once.

Manga Recs: Short & Sweet Shonen Ai
This June's feeling a little stressful incredibly disheartening (ftr, I'm in the US) so here are some short, soft and wholesome BL recommendations to maybe put a smile on your face provide a brief respite from this hell-scape.
Happy Pride bbs!
The Two Lions by Nagisa Furuya*, completed
Well liked sunshine boy Junpei unexpectedly crosses paths with delinquent outcast Leo who is hoping to put distance between his old reputation and the person he wants to be in university. Upon realizing he might be the only person on campus who knows how fearsome the Leo is, Junpei decides to keep his secret and befriend him anyway which proves to be challenging since Leo isn't exactly well practiced at being social.
Atarashii Joushi wa Dotennen by Dan Ichikawa, ongoing
A comedy where the main character, having just changed jobs to get away from a denigrating and abusive boss finds himself working under the nicest (although sometimes dimwitted) boss ever. Nothing confirmed between any of the characters so far but this series is endearing and silly and light so it may be just what you need.
Hirano to Kagiura by Kotoko Hachijou, ongoing
I promised short and wholesome and this spin off from Sasaki to Miyano fits the bill. It's a slow burn (just like STM) and is currently only releasing every 3 months so prepare yourself for a long wait.. Basically, this is the budding romance between high schooler Hirano and his kohai roommate that Miyano kept hinting toward in the main story. Kagiura is unabashedly in love and forthright with his feelings and Hirano never completely shuts him down unable to break from his tendency to coddle.

ふたりのライオン/The Two Lions by Nagisa Furuya
Shishido Junpei x Onizuka Leo
Leo moved to a far away place for college because he want to start a brand new chapter for himself. He didn't make any friends during high school because people spreader rumors about him being a delinquent. His hair is naturally light due to the fact that his grandfather is only half Japanese. So he started dying his hair black once he graduated high school.
With limited or basically no social experience, Leo struggles to make friends at his new school. That's not the worst part. The worst part is that he found out Junpei, someone who attended the same high school as he did, is also a student at his current college.
No matter how hard he tried to avoid direct contact with Junpei, Leo got busted at the library. But Junpei is not at all what Leo assumed. He is a gentle giant. (that's what I called him.) Junpei became Leo's first friend, and insisted on helping Leo make more friends in this school.
Of course later one of them falls in love~
Nagisa Furuya sensei is also the creator of "My Summer of You". Sensei specializes in soft school romance that's very age appropriate. So if you don't like stories with any seggs scenes then maybe try Nagisa sensei's work. The stories all have very smooth emotional development, and reading along the text will make you feel like you are the character that's currently experiencing this scene. OwO

[The two lions][Nagisa Furuya]
Non perdetevi la nuova emozionante opera dell’autrice di All About Ocean Blue e You are in the Blue Summer: The two lions di Nagisa Furuya
Junpei Shishido è un ragazzo estroverso, amichevole e solare. Un giorno, incontra all’università qualcuno che sembra essere il suo esatto opposto: Leo. Quest’ultimo è infatti scontroso, taciturno e molto poco propenso alla socialità. Junpei non si lascia scoraggiare per così poco e, parlandogli, scopre che si tratta di un suo ex-compagno delle superiori che all’epoca godeva di pessima fama… Cosa…

The Two Lions
Nagisa Furuya
Date Finished: December 29, 2022
3.5/5
The Two Lions is a light, slice of life, romance for anyone looking for a book to turn off their brain for a couple hours and just enjoy a lighthearted story. The characters were likable, had a fun dynamic, and genuinely seemed to like each other, something many stories seem to miss the mark on.
While it was a fun and easy read, I felt as though there was the lack of a “spark” in the story. It didn’t leave me regretting my read, but it also didn’t leave me wanting more, or with much to say about it as a whole. It was a very middle of the road read that, may not become a go to recommendation, but I also would not discourage anyone from reading it.

There's something healing about drawing characters in various states of rage.
Closeups, because lineart is linearting:
I like to think I improved lol.
