Junjou addpermalink Originally straight male gets involved in a relationship with a gay male from their past.They both do a good job of representing the hardships, but at the same time showing the deep love the MC's have for each other. Both are really touching and pretty realistic. reportRecommended by Etoile_sama

Hatsukoi no Atosaki addpermalink Both series are a complex, emotional story about falling in love while struggling with the emotions of what it means to be with another man. They each involve a recently divorced man reuniting with someone from their past. Hatuskoi no Atosaki takes a more optimistic tone, while Kyuuso wa Cheese (and its sequel) is darker and more turbulent. reportRecommended by theshinsengumi

Suki desu, Zenbu Kudasai addpermalink A gay uke manages to corner his straight friend into being with a relationship with him. Thing don't go as expected bc the uke is indecisive and cannot trust the seme who happened to be straight, always worrying about him breaking up with the MC in order to go back to dating girls. It is thanks to the continued efforts of the seme that this relationship manages to work reportRecommended by -Sonal-

Rift addpermalink I was re-reading both these manga, when I realized how similar they are. We have a dark haired het man whose life is turned upside down one day when he realizes that this young, blond and beautiful boy that he's known for long, is not only gay, but has been in love with him since forever. Not only that, but being in an unrequited love for this long has made the blond become slightly unhinged - he's jealous, obsessive, insecure, has a lot of emotional baggage and constantly fears that his love would leave him for another girl. reportRecommended by -Sonal-

Sweet Heart Trigger addpermalink A gay boy is in love with his straight senpai, who is cool and popular among his colleagues. The uke is insecure and constantly thinks the seme will leave him, while the seme is frustrated bc he tries his best but the uke refuses to believe him. Both stories showcase the lengths to which the gay boy goes to get the man of his dreams, and some of it can be pretty fucked up. reportRecommended by -Sonal-

Turning Point addpermalink It's a little sad to see that Turning Point isn't as popular as Kyuuso, especially seeing how well written both are, and how both have a character who is confident on the surface, but needy, insecure and selfish on the inside. His attitude affects his relationship with his partner, who, thankfully, doesn't give up on him. reportRecommended by -Sonal-

Dear Green: Hitomi no Ounowa addpermalink Both are very realistic, Josei-ish, and with extremely well-developed plots. Unlike so much of the yaoi out there, these aren't purely about smut between two cliched characters. Both have lots of drama, feelings, and complex relationships involved. Nothing is rushed, and it doesn't end after they get together. Also, there isn't that annoyingly obvious distinction between the seme and the uke. If you liked one, you'll definitively like the other. reportRecommended by mandi92

Junjou Karen addpermalink Change is the theme central to both manga - for the indecisive main characters, it is true love that motivates them to commit to just that special one, instead of juggling a few relationships at once. Both stand out as great works that explore love triangles (junjou) and affairs (kyuuso), and deliver as realistic works with a tinge of bittersweet. reportRecommended by false-colour

Houkago Hokenshitsu addpermalink Same mangaka, although After School Nightmare has some horror and it's not yaoi as Kyuuso wa Cheese, it gives kind of the same mood about the feelings of the characters. They are both great stories. reportRecommended by Queen2408

Doushitemo Furetakunai addpermalink There's an emotionally painful edge to how uncertainty in relationships is portrayed in both the dialogue and body language. A surprisingly relatable aspect not often found in BL works. reportRecommended by shinkeikaku

Arashi no Ato addpermalink Both deal with a gay man liking a straight man and all the the tension in between. All the sensitivities of a delicate situation come together to make emotionally charged stories! These stories leave a very big impression. I love these two manga as well as both mangaka!!! reportRecommended by lovelydawn

addpermalink Both are yaoi stories with well-developed characters and interesting stories. reportRecommended by as3

Koi ga Bokura wo Yurusu Hani addpermalink Both are yaoi stories for a mature audience, as they both deal with the drama of a male x male relationship with the interference of women. The only thing is that The Limit that Desire Allow Us has some hints of humor, while The Cornered Mouse is more serious.But well, if you want some serious drama mixed with yaoi, try these out. reportRecommended by hisohiso

Seven Days addpermalink The Realism and Romance mesh genre are a hard find, nevermind the BL. The journey to understanding one another is a harsh one, but perhaps it will lead to something worthwhile. Cheese and its sequel are preferably for a more mature audience while Seven Days is much lighter, however. reportRecommended by Chalis

Junjou Romantica addpermalink Both deal with trust issues in yaoi relationships (well, relationships in general). 'A Cornered Mouse' is a bit darker and a bit more graphic, but both have an amazing desperation to them. reportRecommended by Riffs

Sono Kuchibiru ni Yoru no Tsuyu addpermalink Both forces their love to another, really good plots and characters. reportRecommended by Nia9001

Ano Hi no Kimi wo Dakishimeta nara addpermalink Almost identical stories, similar pairings, plots and situations. Unrequited love from high school. The same nostalgic atmosphere and misunderstandings, uncertainties. Both also are very focused about feelings. 'Kyuuso wa Cheese' is more mature. reportRecommended by Reosia

Karamari Jijou addpermalink Both have older guys who knew each other back in school.Both are about the gay friend confessing/forcing his love onto his straight friend.Besides that they have no other similarities. 'The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese' is better - hands down. reportRecommended by pennyiscute
