Title: 艶めく闇と溺れる光/Namameku Yami to Oboreru Hikari
I read this many, many years ago, and by that I mean all 5 chapters a scanlation group translated before dropping off the face of the Earth. Ever since it's been one of my favorite BL mangas despite how little I've ever read of it. Something about the dreary atmosphere and the internal tension the protag experiences has stuck with me ever since. Honestly, it makes me a little sad I'll likely never get to read the rest unless I learn Japanese. There seems to be almost zero discussion of this manga, so I wanted to post it here to see if anyone else has read this gem.

I'm a fan of the "merry bad end" trope in romance, and to me this story sort of has the bones of that, though of course I have no clue how it ends... Does anyone else love meriba works, or have another unknown favorites they'd like to share?

oh also I'm new please forgive me if I broke any rules I'm so so sorry ; v ;

Never heard of this one, so thank you for recomendation! and it's not availiable anywhere even on japanese, so now I'll be haunted by it without an ability to actually read it orz I'm a happy-end believer and can't give a good meriba recomendations, so here is a regular underrated work →

And it's an aroace BL! It explores many aroace-related problems, like what is the reason for two people to stay together, if they are not sleeping with each other and not exactly friends, and how to explain it to friends and family. It's being translated (slowly), so if you want to see something new in BL genre - I highly recomend it. Also, this mangaka draws flowers as if they are going for Louvre exibition :love:
