This should give you a good starting point for the world of Yamamoto Kotetsuko. I am absolutely obsessed with this mangaka! These are my three favorite titles by her, but she has A LOT more out there. Part 5 – Works by Yamamoto Kotetsuko – Honto Yajuu, Konya mo Nemurenai, Brothers
VIEWFINDER ANIME EPISODE LIST SERIES
Part 4 – Young Romance Anime & Manga – Love Stage!!, Omamorishimasu Dokomademo, Rutta to KodamaĪh, young love! This series pictures teenagers falling head over heals with each other. These three titles have more mature content (Koisuru Boukun comes with an uncomfortably STRONG trigger warning), and focus on developing relationships. Part 3 – Mature/Romance Anime & Manga – Fake, Vassalord These are three of my favorite titles in the entire genre. These three titles all relate to magic and spirituality to some extent. Part 2 – Magic themes: Yami no Matsuei, Uraboku, Monochrome Factor JR and SekaKoi actually share the same universe and several characters cross over! These all have characters who work in publishing somehow. Part 1 – Literary themes: Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi, Gravitation, Junjo Romantica

Have a recommendation? Leave a comment below! If you like one in the series, you may like the others as well! I’ve read and watched many more titles than these, but grouping them together sometimes proves to be difficult, so I’m always looking for new titles. The following recommendations will be grouped into sets of three with similar themes (or at least that’s what I’ll try to do, but that’s not always possible). So far I’ve been quite happy with what I’ve discovered! My current media just wasn’t cutting it so I dove back into the fandom headfirst. After having been absent from the anime and manga fandom for the better part of a decade, my desire for canon queer characters led me back to yaoi and, to a lesser extent, yuri.
