BLs to heal your soul
Mostly calm, slow-burn BLs from Japan, Taiwan and South Korea.
Some are funny and cute, others are on the more realistic side.
Almost all end well.
All have some kind of emotional depth.
Chemistry varies, but I’ve tried to exclude the blandest and those where the actors are clearly not into it.
