Thorrild Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Hello fellow yaoi fans, I am new to this forum, and I wanted to ask you for some recommendations in yaoi. I've been reading the same ones over and over again and I've been looking for something new to discover. I am pretty open but I don't like dated artworks, and I would very much prefer if the protagonists were of approximately the same age (I mean I'm not that much into extremes like one's a high schooler the other's 45+, and if the obviously younger one's the seme, I'm not that into it either.) I hope I didn't post in the wrong place though, thanks for telling me if I did, and thanks for your help ! PS: I'm also looking for a yaoi I read some time ago wich I reeeeeally liked but I just can't find it. It's about two guys who are in a really long stable relationship, but one cheats and the girl gets pregnant (fk), they break up even though they still love each other, the girl dies, they get back together etc... Sorry for the very poor story telling guys, but thanks for taking the time to read this ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you one of the cool kids that have read more than a 1000 yaoi and is looking for underrated gems? I know just the thread for that too xD For now, here are a few fluffy, modernly-looking, roughly the same age adults stories that I like. Most of them are pretty mainstream though, not sure if you've read them already. Ameiro Paradox - it fits the description, it's absolutely consensual and it's about grown ass adults:) I also stopped following the updates for exactly the same reasons xD But I enjoyed it while I was reading it:) Doushitemo Furetakinai - a famous one out here, sweet without it being too much:) Kyuuso Wa Cheese No Yume O Miru warning, this one a bit less sweet & the art might be a bit different from what you prefer, and starts with a bit of blackmail, but nonetheless amazing. Both this one and the sequel are a bit more realistic than most gay for you stories. Life Senjou No Bokura - a bit similar to complex, only like 50 chapters shorter:) heartbreaking as well Datte Maou-sama Wa Kare Ga Kirai - this one is less slice of life, more fantasy & dubcon kind of stuff.. still a lot of fun Mou Ichido, Nando Demo - an amnesia story. a VERY good one Kocchi Muite Waratte - unsocial guys I'm not sure if you are still visiting the website, so I will stop here, but do let me know if you would like more recommendations and if you have specific preferences - I'm dying to add more angsty/twisted stuff here or some high school romance:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the other new member isn't here, I think I'm going to read those manga and I don't think I've read Complex either so I feel like I am missing out on the good ones lol ooooh if you have some high school yaoi romance to recommend, then please say on! I much prefer the high school themes to everyday slice of life or office romances lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, here are a few more: I copied the descriptions from my "read manga" document, and everything here I've read during my first month of yaoi love, so they are pretty mainstream, I guess.. I'm too lazy to go through ALL of the manga I've read:) I only added the ones that I would consider rereading, I skipped all the twisted ones.. Most of the stuff here is consensual and lighthearted with a few exceptions. Most of them the same age, there were two with a mild age gap (one sensei x student), but I clarified it there. I hope you could find at least one or two manga you might consider reading.. if no - tag me, I will take it as a personal challenge and give you more xD Yume Musubi, Koi Musubi - 6/10 cuteness is overwhelming, but there is an age gap Glow! 9/10 - highschool - beautiful art, compelling story, gets unexpectedly dark at some point Kuchizuke wa Uso no Aji - entertaining, adults Junketsu Drop - highschol - one of my favorites:) Kono Ore Ga Omae Nanka Suki Na Wakenai - high school, my favorite mangaka 終わらない不幸についての話/ Owaranai Fukou ni Tsuite no Hanashi – 9/10 awesome (sequel to gosan no heart) according to the slogan "the story of neverending unhappiness".. I loved loved loved it Blue Lust - 10/10 absolutely amazing, high school Sweet Heart Trigger - a bit f*cked up, i loved it... plus pierciiiiing!!! college kids Mayonaka no Oyatsu - simply really cute, an age gap Miwaku Shikake Amai Wana - nothing too special, but extremely enjoyable, adults Hanakoi Tsurane - - a very slow burn, adults (or high school? crap, it's hard to remember, but they were actors xD) Akai Ito No Shikkou Yuuyo – cute, highschool Nemuri Otoko to Koi Otoko – art is not my thing, but surprisingly very enjoyable, adults Pornographer - adults, bittersweet (if that's the one I'm thinking of.. I've read two with a similar name:D) Goodbye Lilac - beautiful sensei x student Ore to Joushi No Kakushikoto - adults Zutto Kitto – 9/10 angst^^ highschool/college Doushiyoumo Nai Keredo + Chapter 5 of Tight Rope - feelings were discovered early, which is unusual+meeting the parents, adutls Escape Journey - college kids Jibun Katte – highschool the art is beautiful, the story is awesome.. No wonder – it’s the same author as Blue Lust! Memory of the Future - quite a fun ride, family knows, adutls Bokura ga Koi wo Ushinau Riyuu - a tad bittersweet? adults Yukidoke no Koi - a really good one as well, a spin off Seikaku Warui Uke Ga Guzuguzuni Nakasareru Hon (Only Chapter 9 - Bokura no Nichijou no Mouhitotsu no by KANAI Kei) – best threesome story I have ever read Hana Ni Kuchizuke – I’m impressed, it felt fresh! they are idiots and it's awesome (can't remember the age, but I recommend this one) Devils Honey – really nothing special... why did i enjoy it so much??? sensei x student Kosha Ura no Natsu - Well, I cried Tengoku iki Tsuuka Ressha – - panic attacks and smartass characters.. i love it!! highschool, on-going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieMH25! Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. Wow, awesome list and recommendations!! I have previously read Yume Musubi, Koi Musubi, Junketsu Drop and I think also Mayonaka no Oyatsu and Sweet Heart Trigger but I will definitely check out some others. I'm not really into teachers and students - I was at one point but lately I haven't been interested in these couples. please can you recommend something else? I enjoy fluffy cuteness as well as some Smut! Lol I don't mind it being a bit dark but I guess the story has to have a happy ending and definitely no rape but I guess Dubcon might be acceptable - if I had a clearer idea of what it was lol if you have any manga that sounds remotely like this, I'd greatly appreciate it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auser Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. you would like some more? I'll give you more:D so, ok, no sensei x student, no rape, no oneshots, only stuff that I would reread (and I will never reread 70 percent of what I've read), no age gaps or incest, mostly consensual, no omegaverse (?), happy ending. I skipped most of ongoing, but I could have made a mistake with this one - I follow a lot of manga. I also don't include webtoons or the stuff that we discussed before in an underrated manga thread (you never told me what you thought of those xD). Ii Mon Waru Mon - good crazy, adults Kocchi Muite, Ai - it was nice, but translation was a bit confusing.. MODS - I love yaoi with self-hating characters, so I adored this one. I'm pretty sure there is no rape between the mcs but it's a story about a prostitute, so I assume there was some other crap going on. I should reread it:) Pink To Mameshiba - well it was super cute even if nothing special Batsu Game (Conro) – simply awesome, but not everybody likes the art, and it started with blackmail.. It's also very smutty. But I enjoyed it a lot:) Akuma-chan wa Momoiro - i like my boys insane.. involves cheating & emotional manipulation Tamayura (yuki Ringo) - a heart wrecker, historical, dubcon Yoru mo hi mo akenai – hot fighting, really nice beginning Haru Wo Daite Ita – who would have thought that two porn stars would turn out to be one of the healthiest couples in a history of yaoi? I'm sure you've read this one, but just in case. the art takes some getting used to though Wakabaryou de, Kimi to - absolutely nothing special, but warm and fuzzy.. Paradise View - I have never cried as hard over yaoi as after the last chapter of this one... I think it's also a sequel to another manga, but because I didn't rate it as a reread, I skipped it here) Sekai wa Kimi de Mawatteru - the art is so beautiful, i can stare at each and every page for hours.. long eyelashes, messy hair, slim figures, cool posture and slightly untidy clothes... I wish I was trapped in Ogawa Chise's world.. I have also realized that most of her ukes are incredible!!! Creme de la creme.. Also, so much angst!!!! Beautiful! Kemono ni Namida - fun Umi To Futari No Enbun Noudo - if you are ever in the mood for a simple a bit melancholic story.. Liquor & Cigarette - I really like it for some reason, ongoing Ubawareru Koto Marugoto Zenbu - possesive seme done right Kataomoi To Parade - I have started to feel things from the first chapter On Doorstep - this one is just amazing:) Kirakira no Hibi - it's short and yet it doesn't feel rushed a t all! Simply beautiful, and the art is awesome - I like this mangaka Kamatte Kawaii Hito – cute-cute-cute and lots of cats Anata no Tame nara doko Made mo - super fun and awesome Hatsuai - this manga did something different, was really funny and overall had an unsual feel about it. the uke will definetely be in my top ten. He is so precious, he needs to be protected Hanaya no Nikai de - it's a 9 part series, and of course I've started with the very last one. Painfully relatable at times, at times simply sweet and hopeful Ok, we got as far as manga #800 on my list. So I decided to stop:D But if you ever read all of these ones and need more - let me know xD and if you do find one or two that you might like, let me know as well I will be happy:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
