Michelin Star BL

It's a super sweet story with adorable characters and great art. The seme is a transfer student from a highly skilled tribe and the uke is tasked to introduce him to Japanese culture. It's a short read, but definitely worth your time.

Not a Michael Jackson reference, unfortunately. Ikebana artist and a foreign prince meet through a mirror in their room.

I love all of Zariya’s works, but this might be my favorite. It’s about childhood friends and an unrequited love. The seme has been in love with the uke since they were young, but the uke can’t come to terms with his sexuality. The whole story progresses sweetly and realistically and I just LOVE it.

A painting prodigy slaves away for a desperate family that claims his masterful work is theirs. Fortunately, he’s saved by a “lowly” rich man with no pedigree who promises to protect him so long as he paints again. Conflicted but enamored, the boy desperately hides his feelings for his sponsor, afraid that he might throw the painter away once he finds out. Fantastic story, but for a manhwa about art, the art is (ironically) inconsistent. Still a great read.

Guy is finally allowed to spend time away from his strict amish village and falls in love with a former dancer. Honestly, one of the best ones I’ve ever read yet. It’s the kind of story you’d fondly recall months later. The mangaka perfectly captures emotions well and the art is wonderful.

Two boys were sold off to the red light district and have to earn their way out of their debt. It’s against the rules to fall for another courtesan, but hey you can’t choose who fall for.

Guy pays for a sexual service (that’s supposed to be only for women) from a shy playboy. This was an emotional rollercoaster. At one point I didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry.

Pretty playboy falls head over heels for a serious scholar. Set in a historical "europe" ruled by the monarchy. Very political (which ofc my 2 braincells can't comprehend) but I loved it. Gorgeous art and great translation too! Too bad that it hasn't been updated in some time.

Former hired killer is tasked to take care of another woman's son. Left with no other choice, he raises the child as his son and becomes an overprotective dad. However, the son grows up and develops feelings for his father figure without knowing who his biological parents are. Amazing read, but hasn't been updated in some time.
