This is a love story about her falling in love with Harutora, a new student who is now in her second year in the dormitory.

Reason for choosing

“The story of Aoharu, where Sui, who is full of characters who are being teased after finding out that she is gay, becomes roommates with a junior named Harutora and is toyed with by the straightforward Harutora, is fascinating.Both of them are so cute that their facial expressions change. It’s heart-pounding every time. I recommend it to people who like younger boyfriends, even if it’s not the BL genre, because it’s a full-on Aoharu story.” (Akkina)

“Even when I read BL manga, it didn’t really appeal to me, so I thought I wasn’t one for BL manga.But when I saw the cover of this manga and saw a cute boy on it, I read it without any expectations. I decided to watch it. It was exciting to see Sui and Harutora-kun so close, and Sui’s facial expressions were irresistibly cute. It was the first time I found BL to be interesting.

I would like to see more involvement.” (Acom)

4th place: It seems that if you are a virgin until the age of 30, you can become a wizard.

The live-action drama starring Eiji Akaso as Kiyoshi Adachi and Keita Machida as Yuichi Kurosawa was a huge hit. A TV anime was also aired.

Reason for choosing

“It’s a super popular work that has been adapted into dramas, movies, and anime, and I love it.I continue to buy the manga.

Watching the office worker’s pure love is so soothing! It’s a work that you can enjoy in everyday life even without rivals appearing like other manga.” (Minamina)

“I think it’s an easy-to-read BL manga where the main character accepts his homosexuality despite being confused, and there’s nothing weirdly over-the-top about it.It’s a BL manga, but it’s just a love story between two people who want to be together, so it’s easy to read without any resistance. I read it.” (Sarah)

3rd place: I am being threatened by the number 1 person I want to embrace.

3rd place goes to Sakurabi Ladder’s “I’m threatened by the number one man I want to hold.” The veteran actor Takato Saijo, who was ranked number one for five years in a row, and the newcomer who took that spot.

Reason for choosing

“I can’t stop feeling excited when I see Takato-san, an older and more arrogant character, being tormented by Junta, a younger, more comforting character.

In daily life, Takato, who is older and more senior to me, takes the initiative. However, at night, Takato is excited to see Junta taking the initiative and pushing him down, but I’m also excited to see him. The pictures are beautiful and the content is interesting, so I recommend it to housewives who are starting to get tired of it.” (Namicky)

“The combination of an openly hostile senior and an innocent and friendly newcomer is the best.What’s more, the positions are reversed, with the newcomer Higashiya trying to grasp and embrace Takato’s weaknesses rather than Takato, his senior. Good” (Ai)

Although it is a BL manga, there are no naughty depictions and it feels like watching a real happy couple, making me feel happy. I think the two characters are cute and make a good couple. Plus, the food Shiro-san makes looks delicious and whets my appetite.” (Ichimura)

“I got hooked on the drama and started reading manga.When I read the manga, I can hear the voices of the two lead actors, Nishijima-san and Uchino-san, replaying in my head.I always look forward to the dishes that Shiro-san makes, and I even bought a recipe book. I love the way Shiro-san and Kenji care for each other.” (Kenken)

“It’s a work that doesn’t have any naughty atmosphere, so it’s soothing to read.

The interactions between Shiro and Kenji were very natural, and there were a lot of things I could relate to. The food that appears in the story is also attractive, and I can feel the warmth from both the story and the food.” (Mami)

“The story is about growing up through the band, so it’s stylish and the characters are very delicately drawn.It’s about a man falling in love with another man, but it’s not that unnatural. It was very easy to get into him because the characters were so convincing that I was drawn to him as a human being, and I could understand his past and what he is now because of it.” (Rasa)

“I had a feeling that I wasn’t good at BL manga, but the work is so good that it overturns that, and it made me cry the most out of all the manga and anime I’ve read or watched. Not only did it make me think about the people left behind, but it was also a work that struck a chord with my sexuality.” (Heshiko)

“It’s interesting to see how the characters change and bond through the band and music, and the process of becoming adults.Also, the songs were actually provided by the artists for the anime and film adaptations, which makes them even better. I’ve been hooked ever since. Also, I like the beautiful original artwork.” (Yururu)
